The Hat of Many Hats: Becoming Web Product Owner (HEWeb18)David Cameron
Whether you’re a developer, a designer, a content specialist, a digital strategist—anyone with a passion for understanding what it takes to deliver a great user experience can try on the Product Owner hat and see how it fits. I’ll introduce you to the skills and training that have helped me most in my first year as the Web Product Owner for Ithaca College, and share first-hand insights on how adding this new role to our web team transformed not just a head-to-tail site upgrade, but how we’re thinking about the future of the web overall.
- Domain expertise needs to be documented before implementation begins, as a consultant with 10-15 years of experience in the domain helped a project that had been struggling for six months make progress within four months.
- User empathy is important, as simple features like grouping names were found very useful by users despite being easy for developers to implement.
- Content should be called content rather than data, as this shifts perspectives to prioritize things like user involvement and content creation tools.
- Architectures need to be understandable to executives in order to guide a project successfully rather than resulting in a "rough ride".
Mastering Effective Communication for Product ManagerHadikusuma Wahab
Hadikusuma Wahab discussed effective communication skills for product managers. He emphasized understanding customer needs, aligning them with company goals, and articulating plans to stakeholders.

Regular communication keeps teams aligned through shared goals, metrics, meetings, and using product tools. Building trust with engineers, designers, and management involves learning their perspectives and giving constructive feedback. Communicating the right level of detail to the right people at the right frequency is important.
This presentation was part of a day-long symposium for educators and web designers to come together for talks about design principles, industry skills and standards as it applies to preparing students for careers in design.
This document provides an overview of various Web 2.0 tools that can be used to engage students in the classroom, including Google tools, screencasting, wikis, blogs, social networking, social bookmarking, Glogster, Slideshare, Wordle, photo tools, Prezi, and Voicethread. It discusses benefits like publishing work online improving quality and collaboration, and considerations like applications changing or privacy. The key priorities are choosing the right tool for learning objectives and not using technology just for its own sake.
Stronger together: how to build your cross-team content enginePerry Hewitt
The document discusses how to build cross-team collaboration for content by addressing flawed assumptions, establishing shared goals and responsibilities, improving communication across teams, ensuring content has a voice in product design, analyzing content performance data together, and continually fostering learning and creativity among content creators from different teams. It provides tips for planning cross-team strategy, preparing content sources, developing content together, and keeping teams engaged over time through tactics like governance reviews, design workshops, and staff exchanges. The overall aim is to break down silos between teams and align content work across the organization.
The document discusses free Web 2.0 tools that can help project managers in their daily work. It provides examples of blogs, messaging tools, wikis, social networks, mind maps, and productivity tools that project managers can use. Some issues to consider when using these tools include security, confidentiality, researching the tools, and reviewing terms and conditions. The document recommends finding the best tools that fit the needs of specific projects.
How to manage web projects without setting your hair on fireKathy Gill
It seems like everyone in the organization believes they know what makes a website "work" despite having no design training. Managers insist that "their" pages look or act in ways directly contrary to the rest of the website. Or the web.
What are the unique characteristics of the web that make managing design a challenge? How can we empower stakeholders while also creating a seamless user experience? And how would an iterative, collaborative design process facilitate a responsive web, one where sites work well on phones, tablets and desktops?
This document summarizes highlights from the Planningness 2011 conference. It discusses themes from presentations on production as strategy, designing businesses around the user experience, lean strategy and briefs for behavior change. The conference brought together incredible speakers and participants to share ideas around empathy, generosity, making over saying, and putting the user at the center of business design. It thanks all involved in the conference for contributing to its success and warm, generous community.
This document contains slides from a presentation by Kev McCabe on software craftsmanship. The presentation discusses agile development and its focus on individuals, interactions, working software over documentation, and responding to change. However, McCabe notes many agile projects are producing mediocre software due to a lack of technical practices and professionalism. He advocates for an emphasis on software craftsmanship principles like clean code, testing, code reviews and continuous integration to help developers build high quality software through practice and experience. The document contains numerous slides on specific techniques and practices to achieve software craftsmanship.
Marie Astrid Molina (Scaleway), How to Design for a Product You Understand No...Techsylvania
Marie-Astrid Molina discusses her experience designing products for Scaleway, a cloud computing company, as someone unfamiliar with the technology. She took three steps: 1) Not panicking and gaining a basic understanding by testing interfaces and comparing to competitors. 2) Finding "lighthouse" experts to learn from through references, filtered medium, and redrawing concepts. 3) Ensuring long-term efficiency by establishing common language, design reviews, and never assuming knowledge to avoid mistakes. Her goal was to bring a positive experience to clients despite initial lack of expertise in the subject area.
Build Your Own Contributors, One Part At A Timedreamwidth
Dreamwidth Studios, a code fork of the LiveJournal open source blogging software, averages 50 commits a week from over 65 unique contributors. Over half of those contributors have either never programmed in Perl or never contributed to an Open Source project before, and roughly 75% of those contributors are women.
Mark Smith and Denise Paolucci, owners of Dreamwidth Studios, discuss the tactics they've used to make their project successful, and how other projects can implement the same.
The document discusses common pitfalls that projects often experience and provides tips to avoid them. It identifies four main pitfalls: [1] not creating a common vision upfront; [2] lack of organization and planning; [3] not involving the right stakeholders; and [4] reluctance to ask for help. For each pitfall, it offers recommendations such as developing a detailed project plan, engaging decision-makers, and leveraging lessons from prior similar projects. The overall message is that strong project management practices including clear communication and stakeholder management are key to avoiding chaos and delivering projects successfully.
The document discusses various design models and patterns that can be used to create effective elearning experiences. It begins by comparing design models to software design patterns, which provide reusable solutions to common problems. The document then outlines three main categories of learning objectives - to inform, build knowledge/skills, and solve complex problems/change behaviors. It proposes different models suitable for each category, such as information models for informing, knowledge and skill builders for building abilities, and change campaigns for altering behaviors. Throughout, it provides examples and descriptions of specific patterns that can be implemented within each model.

Mobile shopping app UX guidelines - Shopping User Experience in AustraliaObjective Experience
Build a Competitive Mobile shopping app user experience!
Advances in technology are changing the way customers shop for and purchase products in-store. According to Nielsen’s Digital Global Shopping Report, 61% of Asia-Pacific respondents (including Australians) conducted household grocery shopping research online in the last year alone. Smartphones, in particular, have become an important pre-shopping tool for customers to conduct activities traditionally completed in-store.
Activities such as comparing prices and products, checking product availability, looking for coupons or specials, and reviewing product descriptions and nutritional information can be done before customers have even left their house. It is therefore imperative that retailers shift their strategic focus and harness new opportunities to serve their customers in ways that go beyond the traditional exchange of goods.
Most grocery retailers have at least one mobile app, however, the question arises: Are they actually meeting the needs of their customer? In this whitepaper Objective Digital conducts an in-depth comparison between the mobile apps of Australia’s top four grocery retail chains; Aldi, Coles, IGA and Woolworths.
We undertook:
- Competitive usability review
- Mobile app eye tracking usability in Sydney
and prepared
- Mobile shopping app heuristics
- Mobile shopping app guidelines.
I really want to help people discover that:
- Data from poor market research methods add no value to business decisions and are ignored by senior execs
- Understanding human unconscious is critical in marketing and no, you don’t know much about what really drives your customers. Certainly nothing about how or why they do what they do.
- Marketing budgets are simply wasted if no-one looks at your stuff and this is avoidable.
- A s**t ad is a shit ad, no matter where you stick it.
The document discusses user experience (UX) design. It provides an overview of UX, explaining that UX matters because customers pay for satisfying experiences, not just products. It then discusses elements of UX like usability, user research techniques like personas and scenarios. Case studies demonstrate how UX design was applied. The benefits of good UX like increased sales and productivity are highlighted. Trends in UX like responsive design are also covered.
Objective Digital conducted a user-centered redesign of Mortgage Choice's extranet through a multi-phase process. They conducted stakeholder consultations and content analysis to understand information needs. They also consulted directly with franchisees to understand user behaviors and develop requirements. This informed the design of an information architecture and wireframes for a new extranet portal. The outcome was an information architecture and design specifications to brief developers, providing franchisees with improved access to both structured and unstructured company information.
The document outlines 8 stages of corporate maturity towards user experience (UX). Stage 1 involves hostility towards UX while stage 8 is a user-driven corporation where user data determines projects and company direction. It describes each stage, including typical timescales, characteristics, and how to progress to the next stage. For example, stage 2 involves developer-centered UX for 2-3 years while stage 5 establishes an official UX group led by a manager for 6-7 years. The conclusion emphasizes addressing each stage in order and finding the right leverage points to advance an organization's UX maturity over time.
This document outlines a 3-year user-centered program to build a culture that understands its impact on customers by overcoming distances between them through demonstrating basic human values and providing reliable supported services. It focuses on communication, design, capabilities, boundaries, ownership, and narrative to develop understanding between an organization and its customers and help them grow and transform together.
This document contains summaries of several case studies conducted by Objective Digital, an experience design company located in Sydney, Australia. The case studies describe user experience and usability testing projects conducted for various clients, including a financial institution, Asthma Foundation NSW, local governments, and News Digital Media. The projects involved redesigning websites, developing information architectures and prototypes, and analyzing user behavior and feedback using methods like interviews, card sorting, surveys, and eye tracking. The outcomes included improved website designs informed by user research. Testimonials from satisfied clients praise Objective Digital's collaborative approach and expertise in user experience design.
The document discusses strategies for managing social networks. It recommends researching your audience to understand who they are, where they are online, and how they use the web. It also suggests researching competitors and your own content to develop an effective social media strategy. Key aspects of the strategy include connecting social media platforms to your website, identifying risks, assigning responsibilities, training staff, integrating social media into job roles, and setting key performance indicators and guidelines. The document stresses the importance of listening to customers through social networks and using feedback to improve.
The document discusses the benefits of using Twitter for proactive customer service, including problem resolution, positive brand image, staff involvement, and cost reduction. It provides examples of how companies are using Twitter for customer service, engaging customers, and building relationships. Metrics for measuring the impact of social media customer service efforts on sales, relationships, and identifying customer needs are also mentioned.
The document discusses engaging an organization in the development of a new intranet. It recommends getting involvement from management, staff, and IT to provide strategic direction, resources, content ownership, and technical support. It also discusses gathering requirements through current usage data, focus groups, surveys and analyzing themes. The requirements are then communicated through reports, information architecture diagrams, and wireframes. The design is validated through prototyping and usability testing.
The document discusses several topics related to social network research including user-centered design, copywriting as an interface, banner blindness, and validating social networks. It provides links to resources on holding the mayo when asking questions and ongoing validation. The document advocates understanding users and considering their experience during the design process. It also notes common attitudes against usability and user research.
Using social media to further your marketing and research objectivesObjective Experience
The document discusses using social media to further marketing and research objectives. It provides quotes about considering accessibility for all users when designing, avoiding excuses for not implementing accessibility, and using social networks to ask the right questions and gather insights from online audiences. The document also references participating online to establish identity and avoiding repetitive strategies without change.
This document discusses user-centered design principles for web2.0 and beyond, emphasizing that copywriting is an important part of interface design and that designers should understand and consider the end user's experience. It also notes that traditional, rigid management attitudes can prevent more creative and collaborative approaches that are needed to effectively design for users.
The document discusses usability testing techniques for digital experiences. It provides an overview of usability concepts and why usability testing is important. Several usability testing techniques are described, including forum-based group discussions, surveys, on-site 1-on-1 testing, and expert reviews. Remote testing techniques like forum-based and automated surveys are also covered. The benefits of usability testing for project management, risk management, and business are highlighted.
