Tooling

bp maintains a list of internally approved tools for the design team. Beyond merely assigning licenses, these tools required setup and customisation to align with the specific needs of our brand, services, and products.

Azure DevOps
Aggregation of design work across squads, set up of disciplines swimlanes

Dovetail
Configuration of workspaces and research tagging structure

Sketch
Folders and collections structure, access management

Wiki

In particular:

DevOps was configured so I could orchestrate the resources and workload with my team, and spot duplications across squads.

Dovetail was set up to match Customer Journey stages and establishing a robust taxonomy with clear definitions to ensure lasting and accurate tagging of research material.

The team wiki aggregated all industry and projects knowledge, as well as onboarding material. As we were growing a lot, it was crucial new hires got operational quickly.
