QR_'s approach and impact

1. System design:

The challenges identified were a lack of design ownership, siloed SME knowledge, and a poor issue management process. We approached these by:

Owning systems design for a subsystem. Leading daily standups with engineers to resolve blockers. Defining the functionality from an end-user perspective, supporting the SW engineers with work scope.

2. Document ownership and Robust issue management implementation:

Creating a Single Point of Contact for queries, improving issue triaging and timely PR closure. HMI knowledge to close issues at source, avoiding lifecycle. Improving customer visibility with strong customer relationships.
Detailed knowledge of system and project organization allows issues to be assigned more accurately, pushing issues through lifecycle faster and resolved with less SW involvement, even before entering lifecycle.
