- 34. What’s The Point
- 35. #1 OUTCOMES We have a common understanding of people and their needs so that we can define an experience that meets those needs
- 36. #2 OUTCOMES We have organizational alignment on a vision so that we can plan and craft the details of the experience
- 37. #3 OUTCOMES We have created alignment with users tech and biz on a detailed definition of the experience so that the experience can be implemented
- 38. #4 OUTCOMES We have delivered useful usable desirable experience so that user engagement is optimized
- 39. #5 OUTCOMES We have created the infrastructure so that clients can measure adoption and continuously improve the experience
- 42. TALK AMONGST YOURSELVES What are common experience issues you face?
- 44. 5 PRINCIPLES OF UX Learnability Efficiency Memorability Error Management Satisfaction
- 45. LEARNABILITY Ease for users to accomplish basic tasks the first time they encounter the design. Usability over time. Improvement of task performance after repeated trials. How many features do you have? It’s the difference between a basic and advanced search Are you targeting the right users? Novices vs experts. Young vs. Old?
- 46. LEARNABILITY
- 47. WEDDING PLANNING
- 50. EFFICIENCY Once users have learned the design, how quickly can they perform tasks? Depth of interactions and organizational structure Simple structure for navigation and tasks. Easy in and easy out. Appropriate and timely feedback and labelling Direct users and show them their interactions are being accepted. Reduce hesitation and confusion. Appropriate affordance for the context Known interaction templates.
- 53. MEMORABILITY When users return to the design after a period of not using it, how easily can they reestablish proficiency? Do you remember the shortcuts? - If the site is complex, will users remember core functionality over peripheral? - Do users remember task pathways? Recall vs recognition - Don’t make me think. - Structure for introducing new patterns as a site evolves Pattern consistency
- 56. ERROR MANAGEMENT How many errors do users make, how severe are these errors, and how easily can they recover from the errors? Prevention is better than remediation -Find and correct areas with errors -Clear and descriptive error messages Opportunities abound - Turn empty sets and dead ends into opportunities to avoid errors
- 61. SATISFACTION How do you keep users coming back? What is a meaningful experience for the users? How can you find out?
- 62. SATISFACTION How do you keep users coming back? What is a meaningful experience for the users? How can you find out? Thoughts?
- 64. THE ONGOING UX PROCESS • Design for Beta • Track the metrics and changes over time • Why do things change? • Continue to research and test • Have assumptions? Get the facts • Use UX tools to identify opportunities, not just pain
