I went straight for the checkout flow and ticket queue because that's the obvious pain point everyone complains about.
Start by clarifying the scope and defining what 'worst experience' means, then pick a specific high-impact pain point to redesign. Structure your answer around a user-centric framework, showing how you would prioritize, ideate, and measure success, while tying back to DoorDash's principles.
Pro tip: Acknowledge that Ticketmaster operates in a two-sided marketplace with unique constraints (e.g., bots, venue partnerships), and show how your solution balances user needs with business viability. This demonstrates strategic thinking beyond just UX.
Ask clarifying questions to understand the scope (e.g., which user segment, what 'worst' means) and define the problem space. Choose a specific pain point to focus on, such as ticket scalping or checkout friction.
Briefly outline the key user segments (e.g., fans, event organizers) and their pain points. Use a user journey map to identify the most critical moment of frustration.
Brainstorm potential solutions, then prioritize using a framework like RICE or impact/effort. Consider both quick wins and long-term strategic changes.
Propose metrics to measure the improvement, such as task success rate, time to purchase, or user satisfaction (CSAT). Tie these to business outcomes like conversion or retention.
Discuss potential challenges, such as technical feasibility, impact on revenue, or resistance from stakeholders. Show how you would mitigate these.
