The strategy in one flow

Read from left to right: the problem from the research, the bet we chose, the goals we measure, then the phases we build.

Problem

XSERIES is growing fast. From GOR UNJ to Indonesia Arena, from futsal stars to Luís Nani. But its digital presence is still scattered: information sits in story highlights, tickets on GOERS, viewing on a YouTube channel shared with Futsal Series, and rule explanations in media articles. XSERIES does not yet have a working official website and does not own its fan data (Digital touchpoints).

Strategic bet

Important

Make "cards" a product, not just a rule. X Cards, President Cards, and player rank cards are something no other league in Indonesia has. The XSERIES digital product is built around cards: player cards to collect, rule cards to understand, and prediction cards for fans to play.

Whether fans like the cards or see them as a gimmick still needs to be tested (Cards: loved or gimmick).

Three goals for the digital product

These three big goals are broken down into measurable goals in Goals: business, user, tech.

Phases

Three phases, following the XSERIES-3 schedule. Details in Roadmap.
