Creating value instead of deliverables
The great UX process
!
- A cautionary tale
The story of how a UX’er went to LA
It stared out as a true fairy tale
How I felt
My back yard
My office
My car
The full UX process
Competitor analysis
Heuristic analysis
SEO strategy
Observations
Stakeholder interviews
Ideation workshops
User interviews
Contextual inquiry
Personas
User Journeys
Concept models
Surveys
Prototyping
Think aloud tests
How I felt
Informed ideation
The process
5 weeks of ethnography and research
The process
3 weeks of ideation
The process
5 weeks of production
The process
2 weeks of user testing
The process
1 week of documentation
How I felt
A product that blasted them into the
future
How I feel now
The product that never was
So what happened
The UX process
Listen Ideate Build Measure Implement
The UX process
Reasons things went sour
A very visionary CEO
The tech team and the organisation could
not support the envisioned concept
Too huge a leap for the customers
A great roadmap - but not a realistic one
How we could have realised the vision
Earlier tests of hypothesis
Continuous QA and sparring instead of handing over
deliverables
Phasing new elements. Evolution instead of revolution
Included change management in the process
From UX process to product
process
The process
The good, the bad and the non-existing
Not working
Working
Didn’t get built
What NOT to do?
Create extensive 1-1 prototypes
Over document
Create everything at once
Expect to be right
Trust your research as truths
Work in a UX process
