1. Work with people, not against them 2. Introducing UX from the ground up 3. Goal Driven 4. Decide fast 5. Generate many options 6. Delivery, not deliverables 7. Validate hypothesis - go for wins 8. Good Design today is better than great design tomorrow

Word of advice. Do research. Today.

Graph - why research? Cost of change.

EPUI - methodology to integrate users in the interaction design process (Obal, 2013)

Observe

Explore the broader context (How does it all fit together? What channels, touch points...?) Look for challenges Discover "hacks" and shortcuts Consider edge cases and extreme users

Observe. More.

Active ethnography Contextual Inquiry (Show & Tell) (Beyer & Holzblatt)

Interviewing 101

Plan Ahead Interview where the interaction happens Ask open-ended questions (look for HOW & WHY) Avoid fixed set of questions Avoid leading questions (esp. what's wrong with your existing product or Do you like our idea?) Focus on goals instead of tasks Encourage storytelling! Ask for Show & Tell (people love it!) Master your small talk & improvise

Make sense of “Explore”

Brainstorming & Bodystorming Brainwritting Affinity Diagrams / mapping !(with your whole team)

Participate

v1.0 You participate !Be the user. 1st hand experience. Master and apprentice (Contextual Inquiry cntnd) !

_Play in_ - let your users "play"

Page 17: UX skillsharing at Betahaus Sofia
Page 18: UX skillsharing at Betahaus Sofia

Participate

Mobile ethnography: User diaries. Frustration diary. Cultural probes. !Platform for collaboration / communication (eg. FB, G+) !Group show & tell - let them bring their diaries and talk about it

Participate

Future workshop - also could be critical design. Let your users go wild. Don't constrain them! Topic: the problem you identified !

Co-design / Participatory design Only here you start designing your actual product

Page 21: UX skillsharing at Betahaus Sofia

Page 24: UX skillsharing at Betahaus Sofia

Understand

Personas and Scenarios User Journeys - more crucial than personas !

My fav: Experience maps Touchpoints where user interacts with your service/product !

! Know your touch points - They are NOT Channels or medium

Page 26: UX skillsharing at Betahaus Sofia

Page 28: UX skillsharing at Betahaus Sofia

Understand

Paper prototype - team creates it first Quick usability study with users (Show & share the prototypes)

Page 29: UX skillsharing at Betahaus Sofia
Page 30: UX skillsharing at Betahaus Sofia

Integrate

“Congrats. Your users are ready to design with you.” !Participatory design workshops Process: Sketch / Build / Measure / Prioritise

Page 31: UX skillsharing at Betahaus Sofia

Sketch / Build

Paper / lo-fi prototypes Hi-fi - data-populized prototypes ASAP

Page 32: UX skillsharing at Betahaus Sofia
Page 33: UX skillsharing at Betahaus Sofia

Measure

Heuristics are your friends - Pervasive IA (Resmini & Rosati) - IA heuristic (Abby Covert & The Understanding)

- Nielsen/Norman (Oldie but goodie) !

Page 35: UX skillsharing at Betahaus Sofia

Prioritise

Card Sorting Affinity Diagrams

Page 36: UX skillsharing at Betahaus Sofia

Play IN / Play OUT

Always keep your participating users in the loop - give them an intro as well as an epilog !

Users co-owning your product = fans for life !

UX does not end with the product launch. It's an ongoing process to make people happy.
