bing page redesign
PROJECT OVERVIEW
Kickoff
The Bing redesign started with a kickoff allowing all of the team members to suggest ideas to use for a presentation kicking off the new sprint. Sky was the limit for design and page function, and the design was whittled down to the image below, containing features that would be refined and utilized as we moved forward with the final design.
Moving forward, we broke down the elements among our team members and set up a daily meeting to address issues and share progress with the Feature PM team, Dev Team, Research, and Testing. This allowed us to focus directly on each part of the page and gave us knowledge of the requirements on how the types of pages would be built. The page was whittled down to a base structure while we continued to add in new features
