WARNER MUSIC

Product Manager

Brief

I led a product discovery phase for a new responsive web application visualizing music revenue data for two audiences: independent music label clients and ADA, Atlantic, and Rhino Record label management staff.

Objectives

  • To build an automated backend system to replace manual workflows across 4 separate label divisions, each with unique use cases

  • To provide music label clients with interactive data dashboards, providing far more detail and customization than paper statements

  • To merge data from multiple, disparate streams

  • To design a highly flexible rules logic with customizable exceptions

Deliverables

  • Stakeholder Interviews: define workflows, data sets, use cases, and exceptions

  • Feasibility Tests: collaborated with engineering to locate data sources, analyze data samples, document entity relationships, and identify gaps in data interoperability

  • Backend Applications Research: documented functionality and user journeys for existing onboarding, login, and legacy revenue and royalties reporting systems

  • User Journey Maps: mapped back office processes for data ingestion, statement creation, and revenue validation; highlighted and prioritized pain points with stakeholders

  • Product Roadmap: partnered with engineering to identify key milestones, rollout, budget, and resource availability

  • Wireframes: produced high fidelity wireframes showing data visualization options for label-facing web application
