Interaction design and product management

A current-state review of Estonian Academy of Arts, separated into the experience decision and the product decision.

Interaction Design

Current assessment

The institutional platform covers admissions, programmes, contacts, study information, research, news, calendars, and connected utilities. The breadth creates cognitive load because high-intent tasks compete with institutional categories and news.

Next interaction-design decision

Create role-based starting points for prospective students, current students, staff, and partners, supported by search and a compact common-task layer.

Product Management

Product job

Operate the academy’s public identity and provide essential services to applicants, students, staff, researchers, partners, and the public.

North-star metric

Completion rate for programme discovery, applications, contact finding, and internal-service access.

Next product-management decision

Establish permanent product governance with named owners, shared analytics, and release standards across admissions, study services, research, and public engagement.
