Sample Answer
At a fintech startup, I redesigned the funds transfer flow to a clean 3-step wizard, expecting higher completion. (Situation) My task was to validate the new UI before launch. (Task) In moderated usability tests (Maze + Zoom) with 15 users, 60% hesitated at step 2 and 40% misinterpreted the “Schedule transfer” toggle as mandatory. Session replays and click maps showed repeated back-and-forth and hover time spikes over that toggle. (Action) I simplified copy, visually separated “Now” vs “Later” options, added inline examples, and reduced the steps from 3 to 2 by inlining confirmation. I re-tested with another 12 users. (Action) Results: transfer completion rate in production rose from 68% to 89%, errors on date selection dropped by 55%, and average time-to-complete decreased from 1:40 to 1:02. (Result)
