I Built the Product After Watching Someone Do It the Hard Way

Description and use

A lightweight tool in Greta merged a four‑step task into one, cutting completion time by half and exposing an unnecessary workflow.

Problem

Team members performed a four‑step task that could be completed in one step because two systems did not communicate properly.

Outcome

The new tool cut task time in half and revealed that the original multi‑step process was unnecessary.

Workflow

• Identify redundant steps caused by system mismatch
• Build a lightweight tool in Greta to combine steps
• Deploy the tool to the team
• Measure time savings and gather feedback

Evidence

I watched the process from beginning to end and realized half of the work existed because two systems didn't talk to each other properly.

It wasn't elegant. It just gave the team one place to do the task instead of jumping between tools.

The first person to use it finished in less than half the time.
