Research Study 182 / 200
Service staff struggle to understand users’ equipment issues
User descriptions, equipment conditions and service documentation lack consistent points of reference.
Three-step solution method
- Define the component, condition and operating context that issue descriptions need to include.
- Help users describe issues with clear reference numbers, status summaries and easy access to guidance.
- Rehearse the handoff from the user’s request for help to confirmation by service staff.
Key Deliverables
- Issue Description Template
- Device Component Index
- Service Interface
Verification Approach
Compare instances of repeated questioning, misidentified components and missed handoff information.
