Procedures Updater

For this project I was a UX "team of one," leading discovery and design for an AI-powered tool that automated an ultra-tedious task in our enterprise environment.

Confidentiality note

This was proprietary internal work at a financial institution. The original files aren't mine to share — every screen shown below is a faithful recreation, rebuilt from memory and notes, not an export from the real product.

Problem

8–10 hours wasted per week, per change management employee.

At Wells Fargo, every job function had to be documented in a formal procedure, reviewed and approved before any tech change could ship. The problem: change management had no good way of knowing when an update might affect a procedure they owned — so they sat through every release call, sometimes for hours, just to catch it. Leadership asked: could AI automate this?

Team: 5 developers, a PO, a Scrum master, and me, the UXer.

Discovery

7 stakeholder interviews — change management, the policy/regulatory team, and the teams building internal tools — to map a process nobody had ever documented end to end.

Diagram of the 8-step current-state procedure update process, mapped end-to-end during discovery, from bi-sprint release calls through final publication.

Given those constraints, automating the full process wasn't realistic — or strategic. We scoped down to what we could actually move: the monitoring & alerting layer. Catch changes early, route them to the right person, give them something actionable. Everything downstream stays exactly as it was.

Design

The Feed — a table of every procedure flagged for review: owner, category, last updated, status, and an AI confidence score, so reviewers know at a glance what needs care vs. what's routine.

The Review — click in for a side-by-side diff: removals in red strikethrough, AI-recommended additions in green underline.

Edge case #1 — one code change can flag multiple procedures, or one procedure can be touched by multiple changes. Each flagged procedure got its own row on the dashboard — users care about what they need to do, not what's happening underneath.

Edge case #2 — when a procedure was touched by more than one change, we added a tabbed view showing the source context behind each. Not a perfect system, but enough transparency for MVP.

Outcome + Next Steps

This was the first AI-assisted internal tool built in Small Business — a real feat on its own. Early feedback was positive, though I moved to another project before seeing it all the way through. If I had more time, here's where I'd take it next:
