Pre-Tournament Predictions game creation

Beginning

As part of the initial creation process, we start by prioritizing components with the different stakeholders, in order to provide quick solutions on the UX/UI side to later speed up the development process and have the finished product as soon as possible.

For this, some functionality was deprioritized, such as the text search engines for players and teams, the dynamic content that is shared on social networks. The selection of predictions prior to the tournament and the leaderboard were determined as the only additional features to the set of components that were previously developed.

Userflow definition

The user flow had to be defined in such a way that it had the pertinent validations to enable registration to the game only for those users who are subscribed to ESPN Start+, in addition, the simplest possible user flow was defined and that it would affect to a lesser extent existing user flow

Solution

As a result of the process, we have a prediction game that will be released soon to be used by Star+ users in the World cup 2022.
