User Experience Design Fundamentals - Part 2: Talking with UsersLaura B
#2 in a 3-part series on UX Fundamentals: Talking with Users
Understand why you should talk to users to uncover, validate and/or understand their goals.
Learn how and when to talk with your users:
User research methods
Planning
Best practices for interviews
Julie Grundy gives an overview of user experience Design, why it's important, guiding principles, UX research overview, and tactics used by UX professionals. November 2015.
This presentation was provided by Serena Rosenhan of ProQuest, during Session Four of the NISO event "Agile Product and Project Management for Information Products and Services," held on June 4, 2020.
Does the field of user-centered design mystify you? Does user research seem like the last thing you have time to think about?
Any team can look at analytics to understand what users are doing and how often they’re doing it. What analytics won’t tell you is *why* users are doing certain things — sometimes you need more context. That’s where user research comes in. This session will map out a framework for incorporating user research into your development cycle.
Providing a compelling user experience is pivotal to developing a successful product. As a product manager, you are often tasked with difficult decisions that require a deep understanding of customer needs and how to deliver the best experience possible. User research is an effective way to both generate insights and validate direction.
In this workshop you will learn:
* The skills to effectively integrate user research into the product development process with a strong return on investment.
* How foundational user research can help product teams understand user goals, generate insights, and narrow focus.
* How to use research to evaluate and iterate on product concepts.
* How to validate design and product decisions to ready your product for launch.
This is a quick overview of my design process which I can hardly call my own, because most of it is based on the work done by various experts in the field. I have compiled this to make it easier for anyone to get a quick overview of an end to end research to development lifecycle.
This proposal of work contains details and samples of the user centric design process I follow. I have been trying to find a good graph that represents the process, but at the end I have decided to make my own! ;)

How to Effectively Lead Focus Groups: Presented at Product School NYC Tremis Skeete
As seen on: https://www.meetup.com/productmanagementNY/events/247800115/
Talking to users can be challenging or intimidating, and running a focus group is one of those tasks which most Product Managers would say is essential in getting real user insights. Traditionally, UX designers and Product Managers have relied on a combination of quantitative data and qualitative insights from focus groups and interviews.
Whether you want to test your user group's response to a new product or changes to modules or features within an existing product, as a product person you need to have a creative set of analytical skills and strategies for how to steer the group toward productive discussions. Let's get together to discuss how focus groups can truly work well for you, and how you can organize, coordinate, and effectively lead focus group sessions.
Main takeaways:
- The do's and don'ts when leading focus groups
- What it takes to guide a productive conversation and avoid groupthink
- How to connect with participants in order to generate informative responses
- Ways to articulate your focus group strategies
- Methods for asking questions and capturing insights

Requirements Engineering for the HumanitiesShawn Day
This workshop explores how requirements engineering can be employed by digital and non-digital humanities scholars (and others) to conceptualise and communicate a research project.
requirementsEngineeringAs the field of digital humanities has evolved, one of the biggest challenges has been getting the marrying technical expertise with humanities scholarly practice to successfully deliver sustainable and sound digital projects. At its core this is a communications exercise. However, to communicate effectively demands an ability to effectively translate, define and find clarity in your own mind.

Book Formatting: Quality Control Checks for DesignersConfidence Ago
This presentation was made to help designers who work in publishing houses or format books for printing ensure quality.
Quality control is vital to every industry. This is why every department in a company need create a method they use in ensuring quality. This, perhaps, will not only improve the quality of products and bring errors to the barest minimum, but take it to a near perfect finish.
It is beyond a moot point that a good book will somewhat be judged by its cover, but the content of the book remains king. No matter how beautiful the cover, if the quality of writing or presentation is off, that will be a reason for readers not to come back to the book or recommend it.
So, this presentation points designers to some important things that may be missed by an editor that they could eventually discover and call the attention of the editor.
Hello everyone! I am thrilled to present my latest portfolio on LinkedIn, marking the culmination of my architectural journey thus far. Over the span of five years, I've been fortunate to acquire a wealth of knowledge under the guidance of esteemed professors and industry mentors. From rigorous academic pursuits to practical engagements, each experience has contributed to my growth and refinement as an architecture student. This portfolio not only showcases my projects but also underscores my attention to detail and to innovative architecture as a profession.
You could be a professional graphic designer and still make mistakes. There is always the possibility of human error. On the other hand if you’re not a designer, the chances of making some common graphic design mistakes are even higher. Because you don’t know what you don’t know. That’s where this blog comes in. To make your job easier and help you create better designs, we have put together a list of common graphic design mistakes that you need to avoid.
