Build a Quality Metrics Program for a Medical-Device Software Team
Overview
What this challenge is about.
Build a Quality Metrics Program for a Medical-Device Software Team. Advanced challenge in design. Designing real products under real constraints, earn a bloc...
The Brief
What you'll do, and what you'll demonstrate.
Design and pilot a quality-metrics program for a 38-person medical-device software team with IEC 62304 traceability.
This is not a design exercise. It is the work a product designer does between a brief and a shipped interface. That distinction matters to every hiring manager who has seen candidates redesign Spotify's homepage and none who have worked under real product constraints.
When you finish, you will have something most graduates do not: a real-world deliverable, verified by Ewance, that you can show to a hiring manager and say "I did this. Here is the proof."
Earning criteria — what you'll demonstrate
- Design a quality-metrics catalog aligned with IEC 62304
- Distinguish process metrics from product metrics with care
- Build a dashboard that auditors and engineers both trust
- Pilot a metrics program without it becoming a leaderboard
