Wolters Kluwer: DocuCare Design Requirements

Comprehensive acceptance criteria frees up critical bandwidth for the DocuCare product team.

While redesigning DocuCare to better prepare nursing students to use “real world” health records, Openfield worked closely with the product team and developers to write comprehensive acceptance criteria for the new designs.

Highlights

  • Reduced burden on product team

    By writing the user stories and acceptance criteria, Openfield removed much of that workload from the product team.

  • Identified potential issues early

    Writing and vetting acceptance criteria during the design process helped us identify missing or conflicting requirements early in the design process.

  • Provided guidance for the entire team

    Thoroughly documented assumptions, conditions, interactions, and expected outcomes to ensure that UX, product, development, and QA teams were on the same page.
