Account Request Process Optimization
Scenario
Before I joined my team at Meta, the Cloud Foundation team was facing challenges with its internal account request system. Account owners found the process of submitting new account requests and registering existing accounts to be time-consuming and cumbersome due to numerous fields that needed to be filled out manually. This led to decreased productivity and lower customer satisfaction scores.
Challenges
As the project manager, I recognized several key challenges:
-
Excessive number of fields in request forms
-
Manual entry of repetitive information
-
Difficulty in selecting appropriate oncall and account groups
-
Time-consuming request submission process
-
Low CSAT scores for the request workflow
Account Request Process Optimization
Scenario

Challenges
As the project manager, I recognized several key challenges:
Excessive number of fields in request forms
Manual entry of repetitive information
Difficulty in selecting appropriate oncall and account groups
Time-consuming request submission process
Low CSAT scores for the request workflow
Objective
I set a clear objective for the project: to improve customer satisfaction and increase productivity for Meta's account owners by simplifying and optimizing the account request process.
Solution
As the project manager, I developed and implemented a comprehensive strategy:
Field Reduction: I led the analysis to identify and remove unnecessary fields such as cost center and oncall management of alerts & security incidents from new account requests and registration forms.
Auto-fill Feature: I proposed and oversaw the implementation of an auto-fill functionality for free-form text fields, leveraging data from recent submissions.
Smart Suggestions: I collaborated with the development team to create a system that suggests options for oncall groups and account groups specific to the account owner.
Flexible Search: I ensured that the system retained the ability to search all options, maintaining flexibility for account owners.
Updated Documentation: I coordinated the update of screenshots and copy in the documentation to reflect the changes in the request form.
Metrics Tracking: I initiated the implementation of a system to track submitted request fields and analyze their correlation with key metrics.
