 problem
  • When I arrived, Yahoo Search Marketing was difficult to use.
  • The product team resisted change.
  • E.g., 57% of users with YSM campaigns could not successfully create a second campaign.

 solution
  • I requested and facilitated a Rapid Design Lab with PM, Eng, Sales and Customers to brainstorm solutions and align teams.
  • Collaboration resulted in agreement to build a separate desktop tool.
  • Bought the time and directed my team to conduct research, prototype the solution and test before coding.
