Edge of Eye Use Cases
Meeting to discuss edge of eye use cases.
Jen in Toronto is considered a genius and valuable asset.
Introductions
Introductions of team members, including Robert (intern).
Acknowledging previous meetings and attendees.
MSP Perspective
Need help creating a vision from the MSP perspective to sell to others.
Binet as a potential champion for other product lines.
Aim to align everyone with this perspective.
Diagram Modification
Modifying the SDK diagram to align with Jen's vision.
Using the diagram as a window to guide customers.
Strategy: Leverage existing strategies and align them with the diagram.
Diagram Structure
Keep the existing format with potential renaming of boxes.
Goal: Use the diagram as an introduction, with the core content residing elsewhere (e.g., dev).
Avoid overwhelming users with too much text; present a landscape view.
SDK Diagram Purpose
The diagram is a marketing message showing the SDK suits user needs.
Acts as a graphical user interface to SDK portions, highlighting key aspects and structure.
Focus on hero items for credibility, expanding on the story with links to TREC.
Avoid cramming everything into the diagram.
The diagram is a tool to help navigate TREC.
TREC Integration
Use the diagram to organize TREC content and clean it up.
Direct customers to the correct folders on TREC using appropriate language.
Editable Text
Concern about fixed text like "MSP SDK examples" and its impact on new middleware.
Consider the "and more" approach to indicate non-comprehensive content.
Middleware Landing Page
Possible introduction to middleware page for additional information.
This page can be edited to add more examples.
Potential for improving the UX interface for in-depth content.
TI Resource Explorer
Efforts to redo tagging in the middleware for projects like STAR Hub.
A middleware landing page would facilitate updates with new middleware.
Diagram Editability
Populating the diagram via AEM for easier content entry.
Commitment to keeping the diagram up to date with new middleware and relevant updates.
Determining optimal layout (e.g., number of columns and lines) for SDK sections.
Value Proposition
How to convey the value proposition before users click off the page.
Launching links in new tabs to keep the diagram visible while directing users to TREC.
Layered approach: overall SDK value proposition, followed by specific value propositions within each area.
Aim to surface 10 or fewer key examples to satisfy most customers.
TREC Destinations
Mapping destinations in TREC and ensuring they provide a good user experience.
TREC space shouldn't be overwhelming or treated as documentation.
The diagram serves as a graphic illustration, with Resource Explorer as the conventional documentation.
Making it clear to customers that the diagram is a high-level picture and they'll be directed to TREC for details.
Content Focus
Evaluating content choices such as MSP subsystems versus other examples.
MSP subsystems might not resonate as much as application-focused examples like automotive or motor control.
Balancing marketing for subsystems with providing relevant examples.
Rethinking the Graphic
Rethinking the graphic to align with the design and development vision.
Ensuring the graphic works and resonates with the customer journey.
Diagram Purpose
The graphic shouldn't replace dev or become a documentation dump.
It should reflect the software story and overall strategy.
MST Subsystems
Outline MST subsystems in the content below, but pull most examples up.
Balance low-level examples with category-specific value propositions.
MSP Folder Description
Condensing information into shorter, engaging phrases.
Using top-level highlights to engage customers without excessive explanation.
Dev Integration
Problem: Inability to link to every file in dev like in the accordion.
Solution: Create an intro to middleware page to guide customers.
Maintenance
Addressing the maintenance effort required to update the diagram with new code examples.
The top-level page on TREC can be maintained more easily.
Intro Page
Creating a landing page for middleware with improved navigation.
Directing people to precise folders with cleaned-up directory structures on TREC.
Directory Structure
The SDK directory structure needs improvement to align with high-level middleware buckets.
Automated tooling generates metadata for code examples.
Processor SDKs
Processors have a landing page that include documentation, examples.
Tags
Adding technology and equipment tags to code examples for better categorization.
Tagging every code example manually.
Strategic Organization
Strategically organizing content focusing on the front end.
Aligning tags, middleware, and diagram categories.
Visualizing Content
Putting content in the Figma framework for visualization.
Evaluate the consequence of adding more columns to the visual framework.
UX Considerations
Understanding how the arrows or chevrons perform UX-wise.
User testing indicates intuitive use of the arrows to open content.
Content Resonancy
Ensuring every item in each category resonates with customer needs.
Aiming for a static presentation where the whole picture is visible.
Journey
Reworking content in the context of the customer journey.
Scheduling meetings to work on the content and provide feedback.
MSD Champion
MSD to champion the content for easier communication across business lines.
