In order to abstract away from specific use cases and implementation details, we will use terms from the story of Glen and Larry’s Ice Cream Company.
Each persona describes those involved in the ice cream supply chain, and has a relevant parallel relating to OCI and the surrounding software ecosystem.
In this document, we aim to characterize which persona(s) this working group is designing around.
From the list of below, we are primarily designing to improve the function of (3) The Refrigerated Truck Driver.
This working group is equivalent to the strategy team within the logitisics arm of Glen and Larry's.
How do we improve our capabilities and efficiency as ice cream travels between the factory conveyor belt to the shelves of the bodega?
What new technology can we introduce to enhance this process? How can we do so in a way that will be embraced by both factories and bodegas with minimal effort?
How do we ensure business continues to operate smoothly if not everyone adopts our new process on day 1?
The people who provide the raw ingredients used to make the ice cream
Real-world parallel:
