The speaker is an expert in user experience design with over 10 years of experience leading a usability design firm.
Is User Centered Design a buzzword, a technique, or a methodology? Why does "UCD" get so much attention? How has it changed how teams approach web application usability efforts? Is UCD right for you?
1. User Centered Design: Evolving from Dot-Com to Web 2.0
2. Why UCD? (Development, Business, Design benefits)
3. Development process: UCD vs. Agile vs. Waterfall
4. Case Studies: User Centered Design success stories
5. Is UCD right for you?: Planning a UCD process for your product
6. Q & A
The application of User Centered Design in various fields, specially in Architecture and Design. Based on Don Norman's book- Design of Everyday Things.
User experience & design user centered analysisPreeti Chopra
UCA is a multistage process which allows designers to analyze and foresee how user is going to use the product. UCA employs proven and objective data-gathering and analysis techniques to develop a clear understanding of who the users are and how they will approach a website or application.

User centred design (UCD) and the connected homeCyber-Duck
This presentation is a summary of a workshop that was conducted at UX London and Mozfest by Cyber-Duck, an agency that merges lean and agile deliver with user centred design (UCD). The workshop was aimed at those wanting to apply UCD to futuristic technologies. The workshop explored the concepts and thinking of ‘how to design an Internet Connected Dishwasher app’ while considering a wider eco system. The workshop started by introducing IoT (and ‘nearables’), why its relevant now and how the UCD process can adapt to it. The workshop frames UCD in a wider product delivery context and is aimed at those wanting to learn on how UX tactics can be applied to successfully design IoT products and systems.
It says that the 90s belonged to hardware, the 2000s belonged to software and 2010s will belong to user-centered solutions. Starting from this point, the presentation will attempt to cover some basic concepts/aspects about:
- What is usability
- How to sell usability to your manager
- What is user-centered design
- How to implement an user-centered design process
How User Experience Evolves in a Company - a New Look at UX Maturity ModelsUXPA Boston
User experience design involves many skill sets and methods but companies don’t always have staff with the right expertise or placed in dedicated user experience roles. This puts product designs at risk, especially in competitive markets. In an effort to advance user experience design to minimize taking risks with design, several maturity models were published that explain the different phases of corporate UX maturity. I have surveyed several user experience maturity models, identified the most important information, enhanced with my own experiences and simplified the delivery using a light hearted, easy to understand metaphor – an evolution scale. Each evolution level defines what methods are typically used, who typically does “design” at that level and most importantly what is needed to evolve to the next level. This infographic is a valuable tool to educate different development teams where they are in the user experience spectrum as well as outline what they need to do to evolve. It also helps to educate executives to set realistic expectations that this is a process that takes time (we can’t all go from zero to Apple) and to help gain their support by plotting your competition on the same scale.
Designer is constantly confronted with challenge that how to make the application simple but also powerful. Powerful features will usually result in the complicated user interface. How to simplify it without sacrificing the powerfulness ?
This decks are for addressing the challenges from both product management and user experience design perspectives.
1. What it is?. Philosophy and Principles.
2. How to use it? methodology and basic tools.
3. Beyond UCD. Alternatives methodologies: Activity Centered Design and Goal Directed Design.

What is User Experience? - Barcamp 4 in Auckland New ZealandHaunani Pao
When I started my new job, most of my colleagues didn't clearly understand UX. I created this introduction to User Experience so they would understand why UX is important in design; how I would collaborate with the team; what I would contribute to our projects; and typical activities and artefacts I would do. My colleagues found this information helpful so that they know how to engage me for design and strategic questions about good UX-fu.

UX Strategy: A Systems Design Approach to InnovationLiam Friedland
Understanding systems behavior is an essential part of any UX strategist’s toolkit. In this talk, we'll introduce systems-thinking concepts that are of practical use to UX strategists in their day-to-day planning, organizing, and influencing. We discuss businesses as systems, or holoarchies, and introduce some simple, yet powerful tools for analyzing organizational stakeholders and creating influencing strategies.
Finally, we present User Experience (UX) itself as a meme for driving organizational renewal through innovation. We'll use several examples to illustrate how UX is a systems-thinking paradigm.

Ericsson Review: Crafting UX - designing the user experience beyond the inter...Ericsson
There is more to a good user experience than attractive products and services that solve problems and function according to a given set of requirements. Creating products and services that provide compelling experiences for users requires planning, resources, and processes for monitoring progress and measuring quality – crafting UX.
Modern users are savvy and demanding, and their expectations are high. They want products and services that provide some level of value. They want their products to be aesthetically pleasing, emotionally satisfying, as well as easy to learn, use, install, maintain and upgrade.
Ericsson is shifting from being driven by technology to being driven by needs and experiences. This shift has manifested itself in the development of a design approach that gets close to the user. Crafting UX is a user experience (UX) framework with roles, responsibilities and guidelines to better understand, define and meet users’ needs.
Designing similar – yet not identical – assets that provide comparable functionality, in different ways for different products, is neither financially justifiable nor good in terms of usability. By reusing common assets and code for similar functionalities, design teams can focus on the important task of creating relevant content and functionality; in other words, content that is useful and usable.
By establishing a shared vision across all groups involved in the development of products and services teamwork becomes more effective and coordinated efforts lead to a greater design and a better user experience.

Integrating User Centered Design with Agile DevelopmentJulia Borkenhagen
The Agile Manifesto emphasizes the importance of individuals and interactions over processes and tools, and that's precisely where the User Centered Design approach comes in. UCD always focuses on the users first, keeps them involved during the entire project and emphasizes the need for iterations and team collaboration.

UX-plosive stuff - user experience to come first (ADF Enterprise Mobility Con...Lucas Jellema
The user experience determines not just the satisfaction of a user with an application. It is also crucial in the productivity of users, the quality of their work and the reaction speed to events and trends. And because enterprise applications are increasingly used by external users such as customers and business partners, this experience (known as US) is important in terms of competition and marketing. For SaaS providers, the UX may be the single biggest factor on which they are selected or not.
This session discusses current industry trends in User Experience and Oracle’s view of things, as advocated by the Oracle Applications User Experience Team. The mobilization of the enterprise user community and the wide range of devices that are used for enterprise application interaction is an important aspect, as are approaches to provide users with the best experience given their role, device(s) and modes of working. The UX-team’s mantra Simplicity |Mobility|Extensibility is explained, as are the
Simplified UI based on the 90:90:10 notion and the Glance/Scan/Commit concept. Visualization as part of the User Experience makes an appearance. Finally, some of the resources available through the UX Direct program are highlighted.
This is the slidedeck I used for my talk about UX for the 2016 cohort of Venture for Canada at Queen's University, Kingston, ON. In it, I go over what I've learned about UX over the past 3 years, including a brief history of UX, a look at the design landscape today, and a glimpse into what we can expect in the future. I followed this talk up with a quick hands-on workshop on UX design.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.
"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.
