We have developed some functionality, e.g., Dashboard, but where do we go from here? Discussion topic to consider how to support workflows

What are the problems with the existing system and how could FOLIO address them or what solutions have libraries discovered to manage their workflows?

Could be two meetings

60 min (each?)Product Council/App InteractionProduct CouncilUI Review and Growth

UI retrospective: is what's been built good? Does it suit people's needs?

Could libraries that have already conducted UI research be able to share their results?

Could be two meetings or more (UI track) - could share information and then follow up with a retrospective
