Problem

Before this project, Datadog users had no home base. Users were relying on browser bookmarks, word of mouth, and cryptic, out of date wiki docs to share datadog resources and onboard new team members.

These had to be manually shared, were ripe for user error, and fell out of sync quickly. This phenomenon led me to create a solution 0-1: The Team Page.

Design Goals

• Succinctly and clearly summarize the scope of a team’s work
• Offer flexibility to respond to the different needs of teams: frontend, backend, platform etc
• Bring more personalization and fun to Datadog’s UI

I partnered with a 10+ product teams to get this content summarized at a glance across the different products

Users can customize their team’s content to their liking

Outcome

• Strongly positive internal feedback via dogfooding
• It’s shipped to all Datadog users, getting 2000 views/day
• I’m making plans to adapt this and make it Datadog’s homepage
