WALKTHROUGH CONTENT CURATION
When someone can't understand how a product works, it carries frustration and discomfort. We have a premise that a software user trusts an application to deal with well-known business processes. So, it is unproductive if they can't achieve results, solve problems, and gain scale from day one.
Keep in mind that any company, especially SaaS companies, can't risk losing clients due to a mediocre onboarding experience.
Our call was to approach the first-time user experience as an opportunity to guide customers through the features.
The Walkthrough resource is like an invisible "helping hand" that guides users during onboarding.

Our Objective: Software is Easy to Use
1. Research
We performed interviews with clients to better understand pain points in the workflow and possible gaps of knowledge on our existing walkthroughs.
Why are they frustrated? What are they trying to accomplish? Why do they take a certain path?
2. Business Process Analysis
We established a set of interviews with Human Resources Subject Matter Experts (HR SME) to identify the most common paths and exceptions to the regular business process.
3. Back to the Drawing Board
Are we providing the correct content? Is it available at the right moment? What happens with the first-time user experience? How can we make it better? Can we deliver these changes in time for our client's urgent pre-scheduled kickoff?
4. Keep the Good Content but Change the Order of the Steps
We had the content right!
We needed to reorganize it so that it guides the natural business flow. Our users are experts, so they don't need a mere introduction to the features. They need to know where the starting point is, how the flow goes, and get it right from the first time.
Our Words Influence the User Through Every Touchpoint!
Our solution, to prescribe another workflow. We preserved the content and moved it around!
