#1. How would you improve Microsoft Teams?

Describe the product - MS Teams is a collaboration and productivity tool which takes instant messaging one step further where users can chat with others 1:1, be part of group chats, be part of collaboration communities (Teams). Teams also has app integrations, developer tools like learning (LMS) systems can be integrated, or automation can be created for specific user flows etc. Reiterating that it is a well evolved app focused to drive collab/productivity primarily in a workspace. Clarifying questions - Here is where I would like to ask questions, and narrow down the scope of the question.

• Firstly how do we define improvement? -> this can be defined in several ways such as improving revenue, usage, retention. I would like to focus on improvements in user productivity but would try to nail this down as a mathematical/measurable improvement as it will help drive clarity for the goal. So I would like to improve user productivity to reduce time required to sift through information available on Teams.
• Constraints - I'm going to assume that there are no budget, time or resource constraints and I have army of engineering at disposal. (ideal and slightly unrealistic situation)
• Platform - I will focus on Desktop as a platform vs. mobile. The reason being that Teams is used more by working professionals during their work hours. The usage is heavier on desktop vs. mobile (where mobile is primarily only used for little time after hours for any important pings, or taking meetings when away from laptop/screens)

Define goal - based on our clarifying questions - I would define improving productivity i.e. less time required to find information as my goal?...?Read More ?

#2. How would you measure the success of stripe check out page?

CQ:

1. Tell me more about the checkout page -> page where the consumer makes a transaction
2. Does it vary b/w platform like web/app -> No
3. Variance related to geography -> No
4. Checkout pages are actually customizable by the merchants (a set of details are mandatory and on top of it the merchants can add few additional details as per their wish to be filled in by the customer)

Approach: Map the journey -

1. Customer does add to cart and lands on the checkout page powered by Stripe
2. Customer fills in the required set of details -> Selects mode of payment
3. Authentication of instrument is done
4. Money is debited from customers account
5. Merchant is sent success notification
6. Merchant routes the customer to success page
7. Merchant account gets credited with the money

#3. Design a new feature for Zomato that could help users choose healthier dining options. Walk us through your design process.

?Clarifying questions

• Mission - “better food for more people”. What’s the overall business goal for Zomato at the moment? Imo, they’re focused on 2 things, increase penetration against competitors such as Swiggy/Uber eats and generate revenue. Designing a “healthy dining option” caters to the first one - adding a new customer segment. I will focus on designing this with the outcome to onboard this niche in mind.
• Assuming this is cross platform - Android/IOS/Web - yes.
• Are we focusing only on outdoor dining or delivery as well? - Only outdoor dining.

Scope - Design a health-conscious dining experience in Zomato in a bid to improve adoption and grow our market share. Personas and use cases
