5 What should I build? ... g. Experience Thursday, 2 July 2009

6 Think UX, think whole product POP3 client is not a product… If the interface clumsy = not a whole product…. if the tariff is unclear = not a whole product... Can't easily type = not a whole product…. Emails insecure = not a whole product.... Users like a WHOLE PRODUCT.... Sacred Cow: We fetch emails. Copyright Paul Golding, 2008 Thursday, 2 July 2009

7 Whole product - Jitterbug Sacred Cow: I enter numbers. Operator or friend/family can update the address book Copyright Paul Golding, 2008 Thursday, 2 July 2009

8 Think whole purpose... What job am I hiring the product to do? Milkshake a “ﬂavoured thick cold drink” or a “convenient and pleasurable portable breakfast for journeys to work?”[1] e.g. Jitterbug - “to make me feel secure about my parent(s)” ??? [1] - read “The Innovator’s Solution” by C. Christensen Thursday, 2 July 2009

9 + Even more WHOLE solution? - See my parents! Thursday, 2 July 2009

Whole product? My TV is a big screen for my mobile? Thursday, 2 July 2009

Successful mobile UX (in more detail) 11 Successful Mobile Experience Discovery Unboxing Investment Passion/ Accessible/ Anticipation Conversation Evangelism Contextual Can I easily ﬁnd Does it work out Is this easy to I will want to I can easily use the service? of the box? use? I will love using I can easily keep coming this with others this because... bump into this back because... Does it say Can I play Can I access because... I can easily ﬁnd something immediately or my data? I will want to tell I look forward to others meaningful to do I have to “get others It understands new features me on the box? it?” Can I easily because... my needs because... It adapts to my ‘bump into’ because... social Does it make Can I invite this? If I stop using relationships me a promise? others? this, I will miss it It adapts to my Does it get because... situation It adapts to my Is it one click better the more because... social context away? I use it? How is my loyalty rewarded? Mobile Web 2.0 Ecosystem Usable devices Transparent business terms and tariff Open, secure and extensible architectures Reliable networks Copyright Paul Golding (www.paulgolding.com) 2008 Copyright Paul Golding, 2008 Thursday, 2 July 2009

13 Sacred Cows #1 - Dial to talk Thursday, 2 July 2009

14 Thursday, 2 July 2009

15 Sacred Cows (to be sacriﬁced?) Calls are made to phone numbers Most users will have only one phone (most of the time) Calling is asynchronous, unannounced Usage is measured/charged by minutes (and texts) Data is charged per MB Mobiles are call/connection centric (not conversation-centric) Calls convey the speech exactly as it was spoken Devices have cut-and-paste!
