The overview.

NRE Labs home page

NRE Labs is an open-source education project focused on making network automation and the emerging discipline of network reliability engineering (NRE) accessible to everyone. 

The solution.

Throughout our discovery phase, we met with NRE Lab’s users to capture pain points and uncover what they wanted from the experience. We used these insights to devise an actionable project plan to rectify issues before developing initial concepts using a newly implemented style guide.

The value.

We helped NRE Labs create a product that benefitted two different audiences who wanted the same thing: an improved educational experience. The students of NRE Labs got a more intuitive learning experience, helping them concentrate on coursework instead of the user interface. The educators got an easy-to-edit site that allowed them to focus on curriculums instead of uploads.
