Me@Walmart was built around associates' core needs, streamlining tasks into one app and enabling the sunsetting of multiple physical devices.

End-to-end audit to identify gaps in the experience
We conducted an in-depth analysis of Me@Walmart to identify opportunities for improving usability and way-finding by...
Background
Analyzing over 450+ screens from the perspective of key associate personas.
Creating a robust sitemap of the existing app architecture.
Comparing navigation patterns to internal & external UX best practices.
Results

Way-finding is not intuitive and access to tools is limited.
Recommendation
Standardize screen taxonomy. Establish screen levels that consider hierarchical navigation pathways and corresponding templates that use consistent layouts and components.

Navigation Improvements by page level
Me@ is separated into core features, work tools, and personal features. We moved notifications and messaging to the top header to ensure they are prominent throughout the experience. We reviewed the happy paths of each feature to outline each page level, allowing the respective product teams to update the bottom footer on Level 2 and Level 3 pages.
