MEET MISHAThis is Misha. She is a project manager at a translation company in NYC, and she is the only persona in this storyboard. As a project manager, she is responsible for finding the best vendors for a project and placing it as fast as possible. We are going to see how a flexible search option and the hover function inProject V saves her time when searching for vendors.
Hi Misha, a German>English, SAE rush job just came in. It's about 8K words and it's due tomorrow at 12pm GMT. Do you think we can make it happen?
Ok, let me see what I can do! I'll probably have to split it between vendors to hit the deadline, is that ok?
Yes, that works. I just emailed you the files. Thanks!
Introduction.
Oh no! The last page is French.

Misha receives a call from an account executive (AE) about a rush job.
Hmm, maybe I can find vendors who work in both German and French into English. I'll check Project V, then notify the AE.
Based on the project scope & deadline, she suggests using multiple vendors.

Hi Jaz, it's Misha. I just want to give you an update. I checked the file and the last page is French.
Oh no! I'm glad you caught that! Ok, I'll inform the client. Can we still hit the deadline?
n
I think we can! The good news is we have at least 3 vendors who work German & French into English. I'll contact them first. All we need is at least one of them for the last page. I'll widen the pool if needed. Sound good?
Great! Thank you again for the quick update. Please keep me posted!
She hovers and sees a summary of services, language pairs and certifications.
Sweet! I'll be done before lunch time.
Misha calls the AE to give her the update.
She tells the AE about the vendors she found along with her backup plan.
