Open issues/risks

  • Should we wait until the desktop and mobile work is done before touching the m.com copy and videos?

Stage 1: Definition

1. Feature overview

Sync is a service to keep the Firefox experience consistent across multiple devices. The adoption rate of new Sync users has plateaued and the percentage of single-device Sync users is the majority of users. The two main themes of this feature are to increase the adoption rate for Sync and to increase the number of Sync users with multiple devices (namely mobile devices). The goals below represent the findings of Sync Set Up usability testing and the culling of various feedback channels.

Goals

  • Decrease non-essential messaging in the Set Up flow
  • Ensure the user is confident Sync will keep synced data secure and private
  • Let the user know that Sync is set up and working

2. Users & use cases

User: The user is a Firefox 4.0+ user. She/he has multiple devices that she/he would like to keep in Sync.

  • A user would like to set up Sync on one desktop computer
  • A user would like to set up Sync on two desktop computers
    • Non-Sync user flow
    • Sync user flow

3. Dependencies

4. Requirements

Must Have Requirement Notes
X The user is reassured that sync data is secure
X The user is not confused by any step in set up
X The value of Sync is clear to the user
X For initial Sync setup, the user must know that Sync is working before set up is complete
X When setting up a subsequent desktop browser, the user must know that Sync is set up See in Mock up how personas should be updated. Still not clear. Adding to issues list.
For a Sync user, reinforce how Sync works in the background This is not part of set up, hence why it would be nice to have. It is not a blocker to completing this feature.
For a Sync user, reinforce the Sync data is secure This is not part of set up, hence why it would be nice to have. It is not a blocker to completing this feature.

Non-goals
