I jumped straight into features, which was probably the wrong move.
Start by clarifying the program's goals and constraints (e.g., target users, budget, sustainability) to show structured thinking. Then propose a solution that leverages Google's strengths—data, technology, and employee-centric design—while addressing real user needs and campus logistics. Finally, outline success metrics and a phased rollout plan to demonstrate execution focus.
Pro tip: Tie your proposal to Google's broader sustainability and employee wellness goals, and suggest using Google's own products (e.g., Maps, Fit) to enhance the experience—this shows you understand the company's culture and ecosystem.
Ask questions to understand the program's objectives (e.g., reduce carbon footprint, improve employee health, ease campus transit) and constraints (budget, campus size, existing infrastructure).
Define key user groups (e.g., daily commuters, short-distance travelers, visitors) and their pain points (e.g., lack of bike parking, theft concerns, steep hills).
Propose a bike-sharing system with features like smart locks, GPS tracking, and a mobile app for reservations, integrating with Google Maps for route planning and incentives.
Outline metrics (e.g., daily rides, user satisfaction, carbon savings) and a phased rollout (pilot with one building, then expand) with feedback loops.
