Making Personas Work (Without Breaking the Bank) - UX London 2011Kim Goodwin
Maybe you’ve thought about using personas, but been concerned about adopting an expensive tool. Perhaps you or some of your colleagues have tried using personas and been disappointed in the results. Personas seem like a simple concept, yet it’s all too easy to turn them into black holes that slurp up time and resources without giving you much that’s useful in return. Kim shares a number of brief case studies to illustrate how to get the most form these powerful tools.
Designing how we design - UXCamp Ottawa 2014 closing keynoteKim Goodwin
From UXCampOttawa.org:
No doubt you’re full of great new ideas to take back to your team. The question is: how will they get the most from what you’ve learned? What works in one team doesn’t always go over well in a different environment. Kim will share tools for assessing your organization’s culture and values, adapting your UX practice accordingly…and encouraging lasting change when those values just aren’t compatible with delivering great user experiences.
Remote work requires strong facilitator who knows what makes it easier for teams to collaborate across distances and time zones. We believe you can be that facilitator. In webinar, we’ll look at techniques for improving your facilitation skills with MURAL.
Here’s what we’ll cover in this 45-minutes session:
- Preparing to collaborate
- Managing roles and participants
- Tools for collaboration
- Processes and techniques for facilitation
Journey mapping as insight tool - a healthcare case study UXLX 2012Kim Goodwin
Journey or experience mapping is a common UX tool, though it's not always applied as effectively as it could be. This presentation shows a simple template for making these maps useful, describes a few uses for them, and explores the health journey (courtesy of PatientsLikeMe.com) as an example of translating data to insight. However, the slides may not stand on their own very well without the narration.
Designing A Unified Experience - Bringing Interaction, Visual, and Industrial...Kim Goodwin
Delivered at BayCHI (March 2009) and the Usability Marathon webinar (October 2009). Although I don't read my presentations, I've included some notes that approximate what I said in delivering the presentation.
MURAL is not like other documents. It’s a large wall you can solve problems on visually.
Turn those differences into an advantage. Work better creatively together, no matter where your team is.
Here are five best practices to help you get the most out of MURAL:
Know your scale. MURAL is big. MURAL is spatial. Know the scale you are working at. Keep the default sticky note, and work to that size.
Keep it together. MURAL is big. You can map out all kinds of content and complete multiple steps of an activity in one place.
Work visually. MURAL is big. MURAL is visual. Work visually to help you find new patterns and solve problems better. Add color, images, links, arrows, lines, and icons to enhance the content.
Maintain momentum. MURAL is collaborative. Invite your team to collaborate in real time or independently.
Go digital first. MURAL is digital. Get content online fast to save time, effort and money. Rethink your process for digital. Capture offline work in MURAL.
People are using MURAL for all kinds of processes and activities. Get inspired by all the ways you never knew you could use MURAL. In this presentation, we show a variety of examples, including some real-life case studies.
It’s not easy to get a remote team to collaborate. Give them some guidance with a team activity template.
What’s a team activity template? Team activity templates serve as a type of guided script to take your team through a series of exercises. Your team can participate in a collaborative activity together, even when they’re not in the same place. Team activity templates are also reusable, so they can help you scale your practices.
Shareholders Are Dissatisfied with CEO Compensation and Disclosure--Proxies Are Too Long, Difficult to Read.
Only 38 percent of institutional investors believe that corporate disclosure about executive compensation is clear and easy to understand. “Shareholders want to know that the size, structure, and performance targets used in executive compensation contracts are appropriate,” says Professor David F. Larcker of the Stanford Graduate School of Business. “Our research shows that, across the board, they are dissatisfied with the quality and clarity of the information they receive about compensation in the corporate proxy. Even the largest, most sophisticated investors are unhappy.”
“With new pressure from activist investors and annual ‘Say on Pay’ (SOP) votes, it is more important than ever that companies explain to their shareholder base why the compensation packages they offer are appropriate in size and structure,” says Aaron Boyd, director of Governance Research at Equilar. “Investors are noticing the wide range in quality and clarity among various companies’ proxies. They want companies to communicate and explain, rather than simply disclose,” adds Ron Schneider, director of Corporate Governance Services at RR Donnelley Financial Services. “This represents a significant opportunity for many companies to improve the clarity of their proxies.”
In the fall of 2014, RR Donnelley, Equilar, and the Rock Center for Corporate Governance at Stanford University surveyed 64 asset managers and owners with a combined $17 trillion in assets to understand how institutional investors use the information in corporate proxies.

24 Hours of UX, 2023: Preventing the FutureJoshua Randall
On our current trajectory, the future of UX design will look much like the present, only worse. The gold rush mentality towards UX design as a “career” combined with Gresham’s Law (“bad money drives out good”) applied to design combined with automation from software platforms means we are increasing the pace at which bad designs proliferate. In this talk Joshua Randall will cite data from larger research companies like Baymard and Nielsen Norman Group as well as draw on examples from his career to paint a picture of the coming dystopia.

Multiscreen UX Design - Developing for a multitude of devices (summary) Wolfram Nagel
We live in a Multiscreen-World. Everything needs to work across devices. This requires a holistic strategy. +++ People today use technology on different devices in different locations. Users expect to access information on all relevant screens and across multiple channels through smartphones, tablets, laptops/desktops, smart (internet-connected) TVs, and other devices, such as smartwatches for example. Multiscreen is no longer a nice add-on, it’s a requirement. In this environment, user experience needs to cater to multiple devices. +++ These slides are a compact summary of the book.

Ethical Analysis Applied to User ExperienceJoe Jancsics
The purpose of this essay is to evaluate ethical issues within the user experience (UX) profession. The ethical code of conduct provided by the User Experience Professionals Association (UXPA) will be referenced to set the basis for case analysis, along with an overview of what UX represents as a discipline. Five unique ethical issues (cases) related to the UX field will be summarized and analyzed, within the context of the following five ethical foundations: Consequences, principles, rights, justice, and virtues. Each of the five unique case discussions will be restricted to one of the aforementioned ethical foundations; thereby none of the unique cases will be evaluated on more than a single ethical foundation.

A tale of scale & speed: How the US Navy is enabling software delivery from l...sonjaschweigert1
Rapid and secure feature delivery is a goal across every application team and every branch of the DoD. The Navy’s DevSecOps platform, Party Barge, has achieved:
- Reduction in onboarding time from 5 weeks to 1 day
- Improved developer experience and productivity through actionable findings and reduction of false positives
- Maintenance of superior security standards and inherent policy enforcement with Authorization to Operate (ATO)
Development teams can ship efficiently and ensure applications are cyber ready for Navy Authorizing Officials (AOs). In this webinar, Sigma Defense and Anchore will give attendees a look behind the scenes and demo secure pipeline automation and security artifacts that speed up application ATO and time to production.
We will cover:
- How to remove silos in DevSecOps
- How to build efficient development pipeline roles and component templates
- How to deliver security artifacts that matter for ATO’s (SBOMs, vulnerability reports, and policy evidence)
- How to streamline operations with automated policy checks on container images
Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!
GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms.
