Brief

VETRO FiberMap offers GIS solutions for broadband owners and operators to build and manage their fiber networks. This project focused on adding a new circuit editing tool, which came from the reasons that users could not edit circuit geometry and equipment once they established a fiber path and labeled it as a circuit. They needed to reverse the circuit label or contact the company to make changes.

The feature was complicated from both the back-end and front-end perspectives. Since it was connected to several other features and pages, including the side panel, map interaction, data validation, report generation, and user permission, it took me lots of time to identify the use cases and figure out the user flows. I worked with engineers and a product manager to develop the tool in an agile environment. After several design iterations, we found the best solution at that time and successfully met our project goals.

Glossary – Circuit:  An established fiber path that connects multiple network points and cables and fibers, usually from a central office to a living place.
