One unified tool to plan competitive release content globally.

The Release Calendar is a unified tool for our employees and executives to view upcoming release content across all Lines of Business to ensure that Disney content is released competitively. The goal is to replace legacy tools and other disconnected manual methods of operating (i.e. Excel spreadsheets, Airtable) by integrating all employee needs into a unified tool.

"Create a view that integrates and connects disparate tools so that users can plan content competitively in one place."

At Disney I joined the Content Distribution (formerly Content Platforms) team as a Product Designer where I focused on enterprise tools that help our employees schedule, budget, create, and release content globally.

Brands supported: ABC, Disney+, Disney+ Hotstar, FX, Hulu, The Walt Disney Studios

Goals

  1. Reduce manual input (error and/or duplicates) by removing the need for to enter data in numerous static documents (Excel, Airtable, Powerpoint).

  2. Consolidate information into one consistent, streamlined workflow with minimal friction, and automate as much data as possible.

  3. Improve user experience & increase efficiency (time saved in seconds = millions of dollars saved).

  4. Contribute a scalable calendar to the design system.

Major Milestones

  • Scalable pattern for all planning calendar cases

  • Designed in new Enterprise Design Language (EDL) design system
