Stages of Inception-Invention with UX

UX Lead Workflow
1. Client has an issue or issues; end users face friction; our competitors are doing better in X area; or
internally, we want to create a delta for X reason.
2. Define problem areas through inquiry or clarifying questions; then ideate around those issues/ reason/
problems using design thinking methodologies. For example: Throw-up post-it notes. Saying stuff like,
“Website is hard to understand.”
3. Go through design thinking or rapid prototyping methodology to bucket experience issues, or learn
from directly from users (or as a user).
4. Create user personas to explore micro and macro user frustrations.
5. Develop empathy maps of how the user thinks, feels—what they say, what they do.
6. Create storyboards of the user's journey through the current system or with the current product.This
means: We have, ultimately, delved into the users frustrations and have big ideas.
7. Create statements around those big ideas, where you can champion initiatives based off of them.
Note: This gets us into the “Explore” stage; then we want to get to ‘Invention Stage’.
8. Develop concepts, mockups, MVPs, prototypes; then present them quickly to check against business
interest, and then bring vetted and/ or approved ones to life.
