Revamping onboarding for DigitalOcean
DigitalOcean’s onboarding process was complex, especially for users new to cloud infrastructure. This hindered new user retention and team collaboration, as project owners struggled to invite team members during setup.
APPROACHI led a cross-functional effort to address this, aligning design, product, and engineering in a collaborative model. By emphasizing user-centered design, we set out to simplify the onboarding journey while driving long-term engagement.
