After this, processes were created to onboard these users to theapp and give them functionalities to make the process seamless. Tracking pages were created for every user persona possible to maintain visibility at all levels. A demoable product was built within the pre-decided period of four months. It was done so that we can validate the product before it is taken to the market.
