Background

Upleveling Dior LatAm’s launch planning experience

Dior Latin America teams managed product launches through a calendar that was difficult to use and poorly designed. While Dior provided recommended launch dates, each country needed flexibility to adjust timelines based on local product availability. The existing experience made this process confusing and slow, creating frustration and unnecessary friction.

UX Research

Dior teams need clarity and control when planning launches

Through user interviews and observed task flows, we closely analyzed how teams planned and adjusted launches throughout the year. Users consistently struggled with basic operations such as updating dates, and understanding launch dependencies.

Approach

We focused on testing ideas early to validate what actually works

Rather than redesigning the calendar all at once, we worked in short cycles to validate assumptions with users. Research insights informed early prototypes, which were reviewed and adjusted through continuous feedback. This approach allowed us to move with clarity, reduce risk, and focus on solutions that genuinely improved the user experience.
