Data informed design - UX Australia august 2015
Alastair Simpson discusses using data-informed design to improve products' time to value (TTV). He explains how Atlassian analyzed usage data showing new users spent little time with their products. Combining this data with qualitative customer insights, they identified engagement and conversion as key metrics. Experiments informed by both data and empathy increased conversion by 22%, helping new users realize value faster. Data and testing help optimize, but clear decision-making remains important for product success.
Getting started with Job to be Done research
This document provides an overview of how understanding "Jobs to be Done" can help companies create real customer value and develop innovative products and services. It defines a Job to be Done as the progress a customer is trying to make in a given circumstance. Understanding the goals, actions, pains, and gains associated with different Jobs can help identify opportunities. The document outlines techniques for discovering Jobs through customer interviews, analyzing qualitative data to group common Jobs, and implementing Jobs-based insights through experimentation, identifying opportunities, shaping the customer experience, and adapting marketing. The key thinkers credited with developing the Jobs to be Done framework include Christensen, Blank, Ulwick, Klement, and others from jobstobedone.org.
Evaluation
The document provides a self-evaluation of a student's advertisement production assignment. The student struggled with time management and coming up with initial ideas, rushing the moodboard as a result. Test shoots revealed issues with setting up the camera and time spent painting nails, so Photoshop was used to add nail polish digitally instead. While comfortable with Premiere Pro, outside help was needed for composition. Early edits in Movie Maker were refined in Photoshop with a posturized filter before the final edit. Though feedback was positive on use of colors and stop motion, the student is uncertain if conventions of a nail polish ad were fully followed given the choice of atypical soundtrack music.

Jobs To Be Done Workshop
This document summarizes a workshop on Jobs To Be Done (JTBD) thinking. It discusses asking customers what job they are hiring a product to do rather than just asking for improvements. The document provides examples of mapping customer journeys and identifying the functional, personal, social and emotional jobs customers hire products to do. It also discusses finding customers' switching moments when their current solution no longer works and a new solution is pulling them versus habits and anxieties holding them back. The workshop teaches designing marketing strategies based on understanding the job(s) a product solves and where in the customer journey to provide reassurances and promote pushes and pulls.
Questions product managers should ask customers
This document provides 12 questions that product managers should ask customers to gain valuable insights. Open-ended questions that uncover customer values, pains, and motivations are most effective. Questions should challenge assumptions and lead to further insights. Customer answers will guide the features included on a product roadmap. The document advises getting customer interviews by explaining their benefit and being gracious. It also recommends documenting interviews quickly and discussing them to eliminate false positives and summarize insights.

It notes that it can be difficult to justify this value due to time constraints, existing biases, and the challenges of recognizing patterns.

Improved customer success can also help identify opportunities that lead to better campaign performance and upsell. The document ends by linking customer needs to a hierarchy based on Maslow's hierarchy of needs, from troubleshooting to insights.

Deck from the Science Fair where people were asked to pitch the problem they are solving and the customer rather than the solution, business model and other elements in usual pitch competitions. Then, rather than show a prototype or a demo, they were asked to present one thing they demolished. One fear that they were no longer afraid of. One feature they know is unnecessary. One customer they know don't have a problem. One stigma that they...

The power series selling from home during lockdown

It covers setting up a dedicated home office space, establishing routines, using video conferencing technology like Zoom to conduct meetings and presentations, and adapting sales processes to engage prospects and customers online.

Culture @ food x
Culture @ FoodX ( previously Faasos ) - Internal document and hence no beautification. Anyone interested in working at our company should go through this. It outlines primarily our culture and how we conduct ourselves. This is not specific to any job. This is a ready reckoner for you to know what to expect if you happen to work here.
Love your design problems. Not your solutions.
This was a presentation I put together for the rapid fire idea breakouts at the Mage X conference in Austin, TX. This conference was put together for Adobe Magento eCommerce experts to attend and learn from their peers.
5 Ways to Get to Know Your Customer
The document discusses ways for B2B salespeople to get to know their customers better. It recommends identifying a prototype customer user and learning about their job responsibilities. Salespeople should seek to connect face-to-face with 6-8 of these users to understand their problems rather than just talking about the solution. Building relationships with early adopters can help gain a foothold in a company and lead to champions for the product. The key is remembering that people, not companies, are the real customers.
Prototyping is an attitude
The document discusses prototyping and provides examples of different types of prototypes including paper prototypes, digital prototypes, storyboards, role plays, and space prototypes. It explains that prototyping is used to make ideas tangible and test reactions from users in order to gain insights. Prototypes should be iterated on and fail early to push ideas further and save time and money. Both low and high fidelity prototypes are mentioned as ways to test ideas at different stages of the design process.

This document discusses how jobs-to-be-done (JTBD) research can be combined with user experience (UX) research. It provides an overview of JTBD theory and frameworks, then discusses how JTBD interviews and analysis can be used alongside typical UX methods to better understand user needs. As an example, it analyzes research done with Format trial users who did not become paying customers. Their JTBD revealed two main jobs: making site building/maintenance less of a hassle, and helping promote their work. By mapping trial users' timelines and the forces influencing them, Format can focus on increasing progress and reducing habits/anxieties preventing continued use.

The 9 people who will sink your website project

These include the double agent who prioritizes their own agenda, the time keeper who focuses on deadlines over quality, people from unrelated departments who try to get involved, a stickler who obsesses over minor details to avoid decisions, a new manager who disrupts progress by changing priorities, a boss too busy to provide needed input, an agency that disappears without providing proper support, an agency that hoards website access instead of transferring control, and a freelancer who promises more than they can reasonably deliver for an unrealistic low price.

- 1. Brian is the man. Whenever I’ve got a question about printing something really cool I go to him to suss it out. He’s tops. - Lachlan Palmer Hubbard, Art Director Brian is brilliant to work with because he appreciates a challenge. I don’t think I’ve ever heard him say ‘No’, at least not without offering a good alternative. - Kate Slavin, Designer Brian rocks! Whatever you need Brian will do his utmost to make it happen, he uses his extensive experience to come up with solutions to our hardest requests. He’s pretty much available 24/7 to make sure the projects come to a perfect end and within the deadline. - Tias Somers, Mac Artist I love to work with brian for a heap of reasons, but the biggest one is his experience and the solutions he can provide. He always has a practical solution that can be achieved on time and on budget. - Paul Courtney, Operations Director Someone says we need some awesome, complicated print work, back in the office tomorrow. Who do you call? Brian. - Rob Linkhorn, Producer You couldn’t get a greater partner to work with than Brian. By the time he get’s involved we’ve already eaten into half of his time, and we’re often handing over something that’s as revered as a new born baby – it’s precious and we want it just right and… an hour ago. Brian and his team go to whatever measure necessary to deliver perfection every time for us and you could swear they have as much creative and emotional investment in it as we do. - Marcelle Baker, Account Director Brian Flyer.indd 1 22/05/12 8:36 AM
