Who are YOU building for? Marc McNeill

I’m going to talk about…

The person who has asked you to build a product is probably not the customer

You are (not usually) the customer.

What you think is cool might not be so cool for the customer

I’m going to suggest

observe your customers

model your customers

think like your customers

draw your ideas on paper

On his desktop

John didn’t know

Did you know John did this?

Skpe did

John visits a site that gives him an address book

John’s got a list

Select and action?

Let the user use their mouse!

Right click to select

To get options…

But the web doesn’t work like this…

John’s desktop?

John’s browser?

Drag this out of the browser?

Now John is confused

John likes Flickr

He doesn’t know about contacts

How did he know that clicking on Neville’s face

Would give him a button

That would give him all this functionality

How would John know?

Your scientists are so preoccupied with whether or not they could

that they didn't stop to think if they should

Just because

you can

Doesn’t mean that

you should

Remember boo.com?

Who were they building for?

Poorly designed for target audience going against many usability conventions

About who you are building for

We are building for the customer

Who is the customer?

Meet Jim…

Hello. I’m CTO of Acme Bank

I’ve got a problem.

{He’s got a PROBLEM}

Meet Jane

Hi! I’m Jane!

I’ve got big brains

I’ll solve your problem.

{Jim Says…}

Great! Ease my pain.

{And Jane asks}

So what are your requirements?

Our system is old...

And crap.

We want to migrate it

To a nice shiny box!.

We can do that!

{Jim Says…}

Jane, meet Freddy…

He’s the business

No, he’s the business

(He represents the business as well.)

Hello Jane. I’m the business.

{says Freddy}

Grrrrrr.

{Jane and Freddy Talk}

yada yada yada

{Sometime later}

{Jane says to the team…}

Hi team.

Hello Jane…

{say the team}

{And Jane says}

… the customer is pretty cool…

… There’s Jim. He’s got the solution vision

… And Freddy is the business. He’s got the requirements.

{… And the team say}

Let’s write that down…

{Sometime later}

Jim…

(That’s Jim the customer right?)

has given the project the go-ahead

And the team jump in and start planning

And come up with a plan

And the project starts

Hurray!

Hi Jane

(Says Freddy)

We’re moving from this box

To this box.

What’s the business value? ?

{She’s on the ball is Jane.}

The old box costs lots to maintain

And we’d like things to get a bit faster

To make our users faster.

Thinks Jane

{She’s got a big brain has Jane}

Who are our users?.

Oh, they are bank staff.

What do they do?

Oh you know. Bank stuff.

Like?.

Opening accounts.

Arrr. Tell me more.

Well right now it takes them a long time to complete the application…

because the box is slow

So you guys are going to fix it

With the new box

To make the application quicker.

{says Jane.}

{And the developers say}

Install Subversion…

{Sometime later}

The team

Have moved the functionality from one box to the other

It’s performance…

… is performant

They’ve delivered what the customer wanted

Gee you’re good.

{Meanwhile}

Meet Carol

She works in a branch

She uses the account opening application

It took her three months to learn to use it

It takes an hour to set up a new customer with an account.

The computer says no!

It sits on a new shiny box does it?

{Says Carol}

And head office thinks that’s good?

No one asked me

(Cheers head office)

It was poo last week

And it is poo this week

{Carol’s not impressed}

Freddy

developers

Why didn’t you talk to Carol?.

Why didn’t you talk to Sarah?

Or Sheila?

Or Elsie?

(They work in the branches you know)

Or Aeron or Sue?

Or Chris?

Or Claudia?

Or Tara?

Or Doris or George?

{So what?} ?

So you are starting a new project

Do ethonographic research

(its just like pairing)

(but with the customer)

Be De Niro

(Method acting)

Credit card company?

Go borrow some money

How did it feel? What did you learn? ?

Travel agency?

Go book a holiday

Off-line

As well as on-line

What did you learn? What can you bring to the project? ?

{Whoaaaa. Busy slide}

To understand how different people will use the product

I want to buy a mobile phone

What’s the spec?

Teach me about it

Help me to decide

I just want it

All users, same goals… different journeys and interaction styles

By getting to know the real customer

You can challenge what you think is required

With new ideas

So rather than recycling the old

You can build innovative solutions

That drives value for the customer…

Who make them

I want to share this with you…

Do you know who your customer is?

Not the person who is advising you on requirements

They are our partner

The customer is a person whose life will be touched by your work

Method acting

Put yourself in the shoes of the customer

To get emotional insights into the way the product works

Ethnographic research

Spend time watching what the customer does

Listening to them

To understand what real value is

Create personas

Make-believe pen portraits of our customers

To remind you what the customer would think or do

Share ideas

Collaborate

I’m glad we’re all agreed then

Get our mental models on the table

Idea convergence

I’m glad we’re all agreed then

Don’t hide behind documentation

Information radiators

Visualise

Visual models Test Refine Mental Model Test Refine Mental Model

Paper prototyping

Wireframes

Usability testing

The value?

Building compelling products that transform people lives…

Not just satisfy requirements…

And meet expectations…

But Exceed expectations

(He’s right you know)
