Coding scheme for evaluation interviews
| ID | Code | Example(s) | Short description |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1) General comments | |||
| 1a | Labels | “another thing that you call this performance dimension, and then you have here process performance, and that's super confusing. Which performance we're talking about?” | Issues with understanding the names of some elements in the prototype |
| “I found that a little bit the naming of things wasn't very intuitive to me.” | |||
| 1b | Interface | “This is very clear, this red and green colours are used sparsely. And it's good. It's good, because too much colours are horrible when you try to analyze something.” | Comments related to the interface |
| “I think the visualisation is perfect, because it's clear, it's concise, it's simple.” | |||
| 1c | Suggestions | “So you can see all KPIs compared. And you can, instead of like - yeah, I see that it’s not clickable now - but instead of clicking, selecting, if you just have three, four KPIs, just show them.” | Direct suggestions from interviewees on what to change in the visualisation |
| “In fact, I want to be able to put a custom dimension, ”This is what time means to me in this process. This is what matters.” | |||
| 2) Improvement opportunity identification | |||
| 2a | Understanding current problem | “But before I go there, I just want to familiarize myself with the actual process and some of the parameters.” | Voicing the need to see the problem that is dealt with first before going to evaluate the redesign options |
| “but before I would like to see the redesign opportunities, I would kind of go through the identified issues here.” | |||
| “if this redesign option does not address that problem, then it doesn't help.” | |||
| 2b | Understanding context data | “Well, it would be nice if I could see the data underlying that. You know, when I click the arrow, for example here, that I can see the specific cases, perhaps a list of specific cases that are affected by this potential improvement.” | Voicing the need to understand what the suggestions in the visualisation of improvement opportunities are based on |
| “We can maybe have the opportunity to put a click on the flow and see some data, some details that let you understand deeply the work of the secretary alone.” | |||
| 3) Parameters for prioritisation | |||
| 3a | Change in KPIs | “So if I can see that there is something that can reduce the rework - great, I would look at that.” | Evaluating the change in KPIs (process performance) to prioritise improvement opportunities |
| “for deciding on the specific improvement opportunity, the important thing for me to understand is how they change the process performance” | |||
| “I would focus on changes in KPIs. So I would try to look what exactly changes? And if it's significant?” | |||
| 3b | Feasibility | “That's the one thing, the difference between the output or the result of improvements, but also I'm thinking of some effort that I have to put to resolve this issue.” | Analyzing the trade-off between the gains and the feasibility of implementation (cost, effort) |
| “First, how many cases are affected? So when it's just 5%, maybe I will not do anything. So this is important. So when I go to overview, I will look at this. And then costs that I would pay for improvement for this suggestion for this opportunity.” | |||
| “I will try to see if I can, how do I make the biggest improvement without devoting extra resources” | |||
| 3c | Combined impact of improvement opportunities | “we'll try to see how the different combinations between these opportunities work” | Assessing if it's possible to address several improvement opportunities at once |
| “If I can by solving the problem two, probably I can already solve half of problem number one. So we always have to consider the solutions, if they could actually be solved concurrently, at the same time” | |||
| 3d | Consulting context data | “So rather than just show me like we saw here, just a quick comparison - this is definitely nice - but the next question is, okay, why do you think it's going to go by 10%? Show me the underlying data.” | Consulting with the context data on which the calculations for changes were made before making the decisions |
| “I would want more clarity, how things, what do they mean, what exactly is meant by a certain KPI, or how did certain suggestion come about?” | |||
| 4) Communication | |||
| 4a | Things communicated | “Oh, certainly use images from the application and therefore, it's to support my decision by data.” | In which form interviewees would present the findings from the prototype |
| “but what's important that you can just screenshot the graphs from here.” | |||
| 4b | Methods for communication | “So in this case, I would, I would have just a few slides, maybe like one or two slides showing the current process and the improvement proposal or the improvement opportunity identified by the software, and the alternative that I like the most or the alternative that I would like to sell.” | What methods interviewees would use to present the findings from the prototype |
| “The best way, it's not a PowerPoint presentation but directly in the tool, directly this data. Fact based, it's top one.” | |||
