UX is omnipresent nowadays and will grow more and more the tool of innovation. Companies are becoming aware of the vitality of adopting this technology from the start. The Importance of UX is a presentation of how we as a UX Design Team implement UX in projects.
A word “design” has a very broad meaning and is used in nearly every business or industry. We always have an intuitive awareness of what this is about though. But when we talk about UX and UI design terms, everything is getting a lot more complicated.
What is UI UX design? Is it a generic term? Or UX and UI are two separate concepts? If they are autonomous notions, so why are they always used together? In this article I want to answer all your questions concerning this topic.

Usability testing (or user testing) involves measuring the ease with which users can complete common tasks on your website. The results of the analysis are a huge eye-opener and their implementation often leads to:
Increased sales and task completion and a high rate of return site visitors
A greatly improved understanding of your customers’ needs
A significant reduction in call centre enquiries

Today, constant innovation defines our marketplace. Businesses must respond to customer expectations for better digital experiences. How do leading organisations launch successful new products and respond rapidly to external change? How do they move beyond the simple need to innovate to actively practising innovation every day?
Innovation is such a big word that people over complicate it. They put too much emphasis on producing something innovative and become attached to their ideas and outputs. Instead the opposite is required. To be innovative you need to responsive and adaptable. You need to be willing to try an idea, assess, adjust and continue moving forward.
These concepts of learning by doing, failing fast, adapting to change are all core principles behind Agile practices. They are the reason why iterative development exists – and the reason it can be so effective. Agile software development has moved from niche to mainstream, but still provides challenges for design and innovation.
We will show you how proven Agile principles and techniques can enable product innovation. Using lean thinking, fast-feedback cycles, and by taking lots of small bets we will show how to consistently speed new ideas into the market.
Join us for some stories from the trenches of Agile product delivery. Hear about the failures and successes of brave organisations that have dared to do things differently. You’ll see practical principles and techniques you could be using today.

Finding time for design within agile software deliveryBen Melbourne
In the Agile software development world, time is of the essence – or rather design time becomes a precious commodity. Taking the time to conduct in-depth user research, then create and explore innovative design solutions becomes an expensive luxury that isn’t always affordable. But what happens if there is a way to not just streamline the UX research and design process, but to actually produce better results for it?
As UX Designers in Agile dev teams we commonly grapple with challenges such as:
- Being allowed the time to go through the creative exploration process, when a Dev team is waiting for to you to finish so that they can start.
- Finding a balance between being Lean in practices, while exploring alternative innovative ideas and solutions.
- Explaining to Devs that lo-fi prototypes are more a communication tool and than a finalised deliverable
What’s the solution?
At ThoughtWorks we spend a lot of time trying to evaluate our approach and improve our techniques. I’ll share some of the Lean UX methods and approaches that we’ve been embracing to get out of the deliverable business and to start becoming an integrated part of Agile software delivery teams to collaboratively develop great experiences in short time frames. I’ll cover topics and techniques including:
- Engaging stakeholders and the Dev team early using collaborative design
- Rapid production
- Conducting lightweight research
- Rapid iterations
- Managing expectations
- Asking for more time
- Communicating progress through regular showcases
Creating a single, consistent experience across the Queensland Government website
Presented by David Beal & Andrew Ramsden, Queensland Government
The Queensland Government is a diverse and complicated organisation, spanning over 13 different departments, covering everything in the state from running the treasury to issuing fishing licenses. As more and more services have been provided online the Government's web presence has also grown to reflect this diversity and complexity, which can make it hard for the public to realise the full benefits of the available services. Through their hard work researching, designing and implementing a common, single website experience, the Queensland Government Online team is in the process of changing this to make Queensland a world leader in the online space. In this case study, David and Andrew will share the highs, lows and challenges they have faced along their journey.
Join us for a conversation about interface and interaction design trends for the coming year (and beyond). Our first ixda event of 2011 will survey a selection of emerging technologies and evolving patterns in designing products and services. We'll discuss as a group and single out a few common-interest topics to get in-depth with over the next series of events.
A list of topics will be presented at the meeting, but suggestions are welcome and encouraged. Bring your knowledge and enthusiasm and let's get started on making 2011 a cool and interesting year for Brisbane IXDA.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

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.

User-Centred Design is about putting end-users at the centre of the design process and involving them in decision-making throughout.
There are many different layers and levels that make up a user experience, some more obvious than others. Testing and validating each of these levels with actual users is the best way to create a great product. By conducting research and testing prototypes early in the project lifecycle we are able to validate the less obvious levels of UX that aren’t easy to change once the product has been designed and built.
The traditional approach to UX design is to do all the design work up-front before delivery begins. This can cause problems with the hand-over from Design team to the Delivery team. When design is done up-front in isolation it often is unable to account for capture all the user requirements or unforseen technical challenges. Leading to wasteful rework and project team friction. The Agile UX approach removes the need for a disjointed handover by involving the Delivery team during the initial envisioning phases and then collaborating with them throughout the project on just-in-time basis.
UX Activities happen throughout the entire product lifecycle: Envision : Create, explore and evaluate value propositions and concepts. Deliver : Design, develop and deploy the product. Evolve : Measure, test, learn and improve the product.
