\/\/ Context<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ten weeks to the festival<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With ten weeks to go before Glastonbury 2022, the festival needed a new official app so attendees could plan their weekend: what\u2019s on, a personal line-up and maps that show where to go, including offline use on site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The team worked in sprints and released the app publicly right before the festival. More features followed from user feedback, including artist search, custom map pins and line-up clash detection. The work won Gold at the DMA Awards.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\/\/ My contribution<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Team, architecture and reviews<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I helped build the engineering team, defined the mobile architecture and reviewed the UX and implementation with product and design colleagues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The hardest technical problems were offline maps and content sync: the line-up and map locations kept changing while we built, and the app had to keep working without a signal.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n
