Designers Guide To Wireframing

William Quezada

There was once a time in product development where waterfalls ruled but today smart teams and companies are shifting their approaches to be more nimble and iterative. As they adopt approaches like Agile and Lean Startup many are also realizing that design matters. It’s not just what a product looks like but rather the entire experience that differentiates between good and great products. And they’re all looking for a UX unicorn to help them. With some real-world examples, I’ll share with you: + how to become a UX unicorn + how the industry works & how it’s changing + how to work in Agile as a designer + leverage light-weight methods to work quickly + what I've learned along the way

Design in the wild

Nicole Capuana

A hands-on workshop where you will pair up and sketch a design for a mobile app. You will turn those sketches into a clickable prototype and draft a usability test. Don’t worry, you don’t have to be a designer to do this. If you can draw a square, circle, line, and a triangle, you’ll do fine. We’ll review prototype tools, how to structure a test, and why this approach can help you validate, experiment and learn fast.

Iterate quickly with a prototype you can test

This last Wednesday, we hosted a webinar called Intro to Sketching Prototypes (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RMMn88sP2NQ). These are the slides from that presentation. You can download the prototyping tool shown in the presentation here: http://www.infragistics.com/products/indigo-studio Webinar Description: Sketching prototypes? Yep, you heard that right—you'll have to watch to learn what it means! :) This webinar tangos with the theory behind effective prototyping, illustrates some of the tools at our disposal, and demonstrates how to effectively leverage a new software prototyping tool that tackles this practice head on--Indigo Studio. You'll come away more empowered to design software that exceeds expectations.

No matter what we make, we have to understand people. Whether you create reports, tools, services, or software, a person is ultimately going to use your product. In this workshop you will learn how to find out what your users truly need, what motivates them, what jobs they need your product for, and how to leverage what you learn from them so you can deliver something that is useful, desired and possibly even delightful. You will get hands-on practice in crafting interview questions that help uncover valuable insights, conducting successful interviews, and forming solid personas to guide your product development. At the end, you will be armed with knowledge and methods that you can use immediately to improve your work.

From Prototyping to Optimization; UX/UI a continuous process Jana Abi Akar, Creative Director and Partner, Eweev Julien Fayad, Partner at Eweev, Co-founder and CEO at ShopBuilder www.eweev.com Because it's almost never the case that the first idea you have will be the best. An important part of the creativity of a designer is to think about how to rapidly prototype and get feedback. Moving from the ideation, we’ll introduce you to ten key principles for good design to apply in UI design. We call these heuristics. Finally, as much as you would like to think that your role is done when the design is developed & launched, the real work begins at this stage with tracking & analyzing.

TEDx PDX Special Considerations for navigating the venture industry

Millennials are growing up...and have taken over majority status in today's workforce. As a result, if you lead a company, odds are you have a significant block of employees who fall in this category within your organization. You have probably likewise concluded that this group is a breed apart from those you’ve previously dealt with…so when it comes to constructing an effective pay plan, you’re at a loss. Among other things, you may have bought into the conventional wisdom that says millennials are not loyal to a company and therefore traditional forms of pay won’t appeal to them. If these are issues you’re facing, you will not want to miss this presentation. http://www.vladvisors.com/compensation-knowledge-center/webinars/millennial-pay-what-works-and-what-doesnt

We all want to know if the work we do is making a difference. But while "vanity metrics" such as list size or pageviews sound big and impressive, they can be misleading. Ultimately, they can lead to flawed decisions that doom membership-driven organizations. What are the pitfalls of “vanity metrics”? Why do we rely on them? What are some alternatives? In short, are there better ways to measure how engaged members are with your organization? These are just a handful of the questions tackled in the new report, “Beyond Vanity Metrics: Toward a Better Measurement of Member Engagement,” presented by Citizen Engagement Lab and the Mobilisation Lab at Greenpeace. http://www.mobilisationlab.org/mobilisation-tools/beyond-vanity-metrics/
