Synopsis​

​

LSEG had a requirement to create a web service to build, deploy and manage financial models in an end to end solution.

​

Initially the project had no definition however, research material was available to analysis and provide a point of reference to understand how the target persona's were working day to day. Personas identified were: Data Scientists, Software Engineers, Quant Analysts.

 

Later, Model Validators and approvers were included as persona's. These provided committee approvals, external government auditing and regulation. These were part of the MRM process; Model Risk Management which is applied throughout the model development process.

​

I worked with stakeholders to white board and create block flows, detailing ​flows; gated processes and handoffs between players whilst identifying potential for automation, tracking and monitoring to streamline processes for optimum delivery. I transferred the initial whiteboard output to Figma for further specification and sharing with stakeholders.​

​

As block flows became more solidified, I worked on low fidelity wireframes to serve as a basis to quickly iterate and flesh out screen content whilst stakeholders fed into the content.​

​​​

As low fidelity wireframes became more established as a source of truth, I worked on high fidelity polished screens using the Microsoft Fluent 2 UI kit, the product was a joint venture partnership between LSEG and Microsoft.

​

As of December 2023, the project entered an initial development phase. I worked in 2 week sprints ahead of development and primed the dev team so they could understand concepts and size the work in advance. I also provided feedback and signed off on the dev front end output. The application will be rolled out as a pilot to trusted users in 2025.
