On-site Risk Response & Operational Readiness
One day before Everland Fortune Market opened, on-site QA revealed a hidden kiosk-throughput risk. I led a one-hour flow change and re-QA cycle that supported a successful 28-day operation.

A risk that appeared only after functional QA
At Everland Fortune Market in February 2026, five kiosks delivered fortune experiences and printed each visitor's result. Every functional flow had passed office QA.
During field QA one day before opening, however, I saw that the result screen could remain for up to 30 seconds after printing unless the visitor selected Home or Back. In a theme-park environment, that idle dwell could compound into a long queue.
A one-hour decision by the on-site lead
As the accountable on-site lead, I immediately reviewed the user experience, print stability, and change impact with the design and engineering practitioners. Because the printed result preserved the full experience and its QR code connected visitors to the app and coupon, we prioritized throughput and access to the next fortune experience over screen dwell.
We changed the flow to return automatically to Home immediately after a successful print and completed implementation and re-QA within one hour.

Field QA after the flow change
After the change, we revalidated the completed print, automatic return to Home, and entry into the next fortune experience on the actual kiosk and printer setup.
28 days of operational and business outcomes
From February 1 through 28, the dashboard recorded 15,128 cumulative daily users and 52,027 completed prints. Field feedback indicated that both Everland's operations team and visitors were satisfied with the revised flow, and the month-long event concluded successfully.
Against 13,904 completed profiles, the event generated 765 attributed app visits and 285 actual coupon redemptions, equal to 5.50% and 2.05%, respectively.
Removing the post-print wait let the next visitor begin immediately instead of waiting up to 30 seconds. Across 52,027 prints, that represents enough reclaimed capacity to run all five kiosks for about 87 additional hours. This is an upper-bound scenario, not a measured reduction in queue time, assuming every visitor would otherwise have waited the full 30 seconds.

Field QA should do more than reconfirm that features work. It must verify that the operating goal still holds in the real environment.
Resolving at the right decision level
Because the issue was within the on-site lead's decision rights, I did not wait for unnecessary executive escalation. I connected the design and engineering practitioners, aligned on the impact, and moved directly into execution.
Rather than pushing every issue through the same hierarchy, I used the project objective, schedule, customer impact, and cross-team dependency to choose the shortest accountable resolution path.
