I jumped straight into features and the interviewer had to pull me back to ask who exactly I was designing for.
Start by clarifying the event type and user segments, then define the core problem and success metrics. Propose a redesigned end-to-end experience leveraging Uber's strengths, outline an implementation plan with phased rollout, and describe a rigorous A/B testing approach to validate improvements.
Pro tip: Anchor your redesign in Uber's existing assets—like real-time logistics, payments, and user base—to show strategic fit. Quantify expected impact on key metrics (e.g., wait time, satisfaction) to demonstrate business acumen.
Ask clarifying questions to define the event type, scale, and user personas. Identify pain points in the current experience and set clear goals (e.g., reduce wait times, increase satisfaction).
Brainstorm potential solutions across the attendee journey (pre-event, arrival, during, departure). Prioritize ideas based on impact, feasibility, and alignment with Uber's capabilities.
Detail the user-facing experience for the prioritized solutions, including key touchpoints, interactions, and how Uber's services integrate (e.g., ride scheduling, in-app navigation, payments).
Outline a phased rollout plan: MVP, pilot at a small event, then scale. Specify cross-functional dependencies (engineering, operations, partnerships) and required resources.
Define success metrics and design A/B tests or experiments to validate each feature. Describe how you would measure impact, gather feedback, and iterate.
