Azure Stack notification blade

 

To decrease supportability requests, and improve overall UX, I was in charge of improving the notification blade that can be used throughout the Azure Stack portal

View current Azure Stack health and alerts

 

Benchmark research findings

· Low engagement with self-help (deflection) articles
· Most of self help appears after requesting support, outside of the alert blade and the portal · Alerts have similar titles and steps, and the voice is robotic
· Alerts lead customers to create a support request
· Public support content covers sunny-day scenarios but not rainy-day scenarios
· Customers perceive alert help and steps as irrelevant to their issue
· Customers need logs for troubleshooting and working with support
