Background
There is a performance data from the idea box application owned by telkom amoeba. Idea box is a platform for crowdsourcing ideas such as collecting ideas and matchmaking. The idea in Ideabox is not just an idea but there will be investors who fund to realize the idea.
UX Strategy & Design
My role on the project was to analyze the data from Google analytics, to make research plan and write down the insights.
- Analyzing Google Analytics
In this phase, I analyzed the month-to-month percentage number increase, percentage of ideabox platform users from their user type and funnel of journey submit ideas, and see which part has the most drop.
The month-to-month percentage number increase
The average percentage increase in the number of users month-on-month from January to March was 8.24%. In January to February, it rose by 7.71%, while in February to March it rose by 8.78%.
This was influenced by new users which from January to March rose by around 30.20% and vice versa in users who again experienced a decrease of 9.02% from January to March.
Percentage of ideabox platform users from their user type
Ideabox users are mostly aged 18–34 years which is dominated by men at 53% and the rest are women at 47% and most of them are in big cities on the island of Java.
Funnel of journey submit ideas
From the funnel journey of submitting ideas, it is known that the biggest drop was in part 5 where 61.37% of the average user from January to March decided not to follow up and not open confirmation on the email

5. Emphaty Map
Says:
– I thought the journey was over when I submitted my portfolio and got a notification, but it turns out there’s more
– This is a long process too, there are lots of conditions that need to be inputted
Thinks:
– Journey is too long and doesn’t seem smooth because there is a long pause waiting for emails
– The notification does not call for waiting for an email reply for further processing
Does:
– Doing prototype input but it keeps failing because you don’t understand what kind of file to use
– Ending the journey only on notification because it is considered finished at that time, even though there are still things to do
Feels:
– Feeling dizzy, why is the journey too long
– Feeling difficult because they think the journey is over but in reality, there is still something to be done
Recommendations:
– It is necessary to improve the journey, especially the pain point when waiting for the email to arrive, because almost all users feel that when the notification appears the journey is complete
– Need to summarize the journey because some users think the current journey is still too long and inefficient
