Playbooks is a browser extension that allows sales representatives to make sales interactions following different cadences. As a part of the product, every rep has access to a leaderboard that shows them their performance score ranking among their team.
The original scoring system was designed to help reps understand how they are performing and improve their performance. However, because of the lacking of visuals and context information, sales reps find it hard to understand. The leaderboard became one of the least used features, with less than 10% users using it daily.
After talking with some customer success managers and PM, we found that companies and reps have been demanding a better performance indicator, not only how reps are doing relative to their team but also to themselves.To solve that, I designed a new performance center that includes easy-to-understand data visualizations and a more intuitive ranking view.

We pulled all the data points we collected from our weekly semi-structured user interviews with the tags "personal metrics", "leaderboards", "scorecard", "reporting", "smart features", etc.
Our customer success managers (CSMs) constantly communicate with our clients on their business needs and pain points. Our PMs know what the product should focus on. Our data scientists have insights and data to support our core functionalities. Therefore, we arranged meetings with them to discuss opportunities.
After we gathered all the information reps care about and the questions they are trying to answer, we did three workshop sessions. During those workshops, we did various exercises to group data, identify problems, and brainstorm idead.
