TABLE DESIGN ITERATIONS
PIVOT 1
In earlier iterations, the data center compare table offered a capability forward view—users could filter by a capability to see all the data centers that offer that capability. This design works well if the user’s intention is to look for a specific capability and find out which data center(s) offer it.
However, after aligning with UX research and product management, we realized that majority of users will be constrained by region/country. Users have specific regions they are restricted to choosing from and need to know what capabilities are offered in those region’s data centers.
We pivoted to a data center first view where users could select up to 3 data centers and compare the capabilities offered between the selected centers.
PIVOT 2
Originally, this table was to appear on the About tab of the create flow; however, after reviewing with UX research and product conterparts, we decided to move the table to the product overview page. The overview page is the first screen users see when coming to the PowerVS offering.
The decision made the data center capabilities table more discoverable.
