Title: UX Prototyping - How to make it and define the success metrics
by Anton Chandra and Bahni Mahariasha
The presentation looks at different dimensions of prototyping in the service design field. Proto-typing is often used as a tool to communicate ideas and refine the design.
The presentation suggests that prototyping is valuable beyond that. It discusses how prototyping can be explicitly used to
• Create a common understanding amongst co-designers
• Communicate an idea to clients and co-designers
• Test ideas with users
• Co-design with clients, users and fellow designers
The presentation gives an overview of proto-typing methods for the service design field and analyses the strengths and weaknesses of
various methods throughout the design process.
It concludes with a guide for practicing service designers, which suggests when to use which prototyping methods. This includes concepts models, role plays, scena-rios, low-fi-prototypes, experience prototypes, physical models and spatial interaction.
The speakers draw from their experience in service design projects at Fjord, Nokia, inventedhere and the HPI School of Design Thinking.

Title: UX Prototyping - How to make it and define the success metrics
by Anton Chandra and Bahni Mahariasha
Designing for the web is complicated. Endless screen sizes, high user expectations, and usability challenges offer up some interesting if not impossible challenges for web designers, especially when wrestling with complex functionality delivered by Drupal. Join this detailed discussion on web design and designing Drupal 8 websites.
Where to start? So often the creative process begins with a blank page. Does the approach to design change when working with Drupal? Drupal is not a blank slate. As designers and themers, we have to consider structures inherent in all Drupal sites like regions, blocks, displays and views. We’ll look at specific structures found in every Drupal 8 site and discuss approaches to design that leverage the output that Drupal provides.
With a rich medium like Drupal to work with processes have to change. We’ll explore how the design process fits into the development process. How we can make the design process more agile and how can we incorporate design into a project. We’ll discuss the difference between theming and design and their role in building out a new Drupal 8 site.
Then we’ll talk about managing all this and how the design process fits into a large development project. What are the responsibilities of the designer? What are their deliverables? We’ll propose a standard list of design deliverables and touch upon style guides, wireframes and mood boards.
Since creativity is all about invention and inspiration we’ll explore the cutting edge of web design and how future releases of Drupal 8 might shift the way we design websites and how we interact with them.
This presentation is part of a Citrix Labs workshop introducing the concepts of rapid prototyping for developers. It focuses on the creation of early samples, models, or releases of a product built to test a concept or process or to act as a thing to be replicated or learned from.
Data strategy - How & When to Invest (SXSW V2V Core Conversation)Courtney Hemphill
Data strategy is a necessary component of every company but the approach and skills can vary widely as a product and its users grow. Data ensures that each product feature released can be measured as to its impact and effectiveness. Data also surfaces latent market needs that can be leveraged into further product value.
Carbon Five has been using data to solve tricky product problems with companies like Square, Altschool, StitchFix, Prosper, and Fandango for over 15 years. Come join the conversation if you are interested in what skills are necessary to drive data science at your company, how to hire data science talent, and what data strategy looks like for different companies.

MCEConf Jitter workshop - Mapping Your Minimal Viable ExperienceCourtney Hemphill
It is now the norm that products, and the services they provide, will be expected to be available everywhere. Your customer's experience with your product will occur in many contexts on a wide array of devices. Understanding these touch points, and the particular devices involved, will help your team outline their strategy for feature delivery and find innovative ways to deliver a more holistic user experience.
Using a blend of Design Thinking, Lean & Agile practices we will take an idea through ideation, the user journey, identify key touch points and their contexts, and gain insights into designing and implementing an experience. Attendees will learn a framework for mapping services across situations. They will also leave with techniques to take the resulting map and translate it into an actionable and testable release plan. These exercises and resulting conversations create shared understanding between the entire product team on features needed within each component of the overall product architecture. The resulting map and iteration plan keeps everyone in alignment on how to deliver a consistent user experience across all devices.
Design + Development + Devices: The 3 Ds of 3-D ProductsCourtney Hemphill
Creating products today requires considering more than just screens and a basic web stack. Hear how the best companies are pushing the boundaries by leveraging a variety of technologies and collecting data across a variety of channels and devices. Understand how designers and developers can work together to efficiently craft relevant and engaging user experiences that take advantage of all the opportunities that are available in our increasingly complex technical landscape. This talk will outline techniques that establish a weekly cadence of experiment driven development. These are specific exercises and tools that can be used to iteratively design, build, deploy and test physical products in real world scenarios. This process allows teams to move fast to release products in weeks versus months and use those releases to better inform future design and development sprints.

Mixing Lean UX and Agile Development - How to minimize risk, maximize flexibility, and create the right product. Presented at Lean UX NYC (http://leanuxnyc.co/nyc/) April 11, 2013.
Learn how user interface designers and user experience designers play an important part in creating products and services that keeps customers or users coming back for more.
My Agile 2013 session 'Rapid Product Design in the Wild'. In August 2012 Red Gate attended Kscope, a conference for Oracle developers. Instead of doing the usual product demonstrations, we turned our stand into a live lab and took Agile development processes out of the office and in front of our customers. Our stand included an area for customer research, a Kanban board and information radiators in the form of a whiteboard, blank wall and a large digital screen. Over 3 days we ran 9 sprints and conducted 25 customer interviews, using a paper prototype to get feedback. We collected invaluable information about our customers' development environments, how they work with their teams, their processes, tasks and pain points. By the end of the conference my colleague had developed an interactive HTML/CSS prototype which potential customers could evaluate. The team went through several rapid build-measure-learn cycles to improve our product concept and validate the market need.
This presentation explains the process we used and introduces the Live Design Lab Planner, a tool which helps teams to plan this type of rapid product design activity.
How To Integrate Prototyping Into The Design Process Using 3D PrintingDesign World
How do you define “prototyping”? How does your group include prototyping into your design methodology during the conceptualization, development and implementation phases of product and structural package design? Do you include brand and graphic communications? How should your group specifically leverage 3D printing along your process?
Join Kaleidoscope Global Managing Design Director Jim Warner for a 45–minute discussion on how to get the most out of using various 3D printing technologies throughout your process. We highlight our Iterative Design Thinking® approach to design under the auspices of a Co-Creation culture. This approach allows project stakeholders to gather and build on feedback to bring best practices to market and generate results.
Turn Concepts to Reality Using Prototyping and Feedback LoopsNick Floro
Too often we jump into our tools and start developing learning before we fully understand our audience, testing our ideas and working with just what we are told by a stakeholder. This can lead to dozens of changes or a poor reception to a new launch. Whether you are creating a new project, developing an app, or launching a new website, this session will help you find the latest strategies in brainstorming and prototyping. The speaker will highlight specific tools, techniques, and work flows to help you kick off any project the right way. Learn how to communicate a concept, beginning with low-fidelity prototypes; gather user feedback; and translate it into high-fidelity prototypes before you start development. You will learn which tools and techniques to apply to your prototype, including techniques for paper, web, and app prototyping, and how to utilize new web-based apps to accelerate your process. Bring your pens, crayons, markers, and paper to get your ideas out of your head and make them a reality!
Application on the Job:
- Discover how prototyping can improve results.
- Explore the latest mobile and desktop apps, including free and paid solutions.
- Sketch and build a prototype during the session.
- Utilize dozens of tools, trends, and tips on your next project.

Real World Lessons Using Lean UX (Workshop)Bill Scott
Half Day Workshop given 5/22/2013 at WebVisions Portland.
In this workshop Bill will explore the mindset of LeanUX and how it relates to bring products to life in the midst of big organizations that don't normally think "Lean". He will look at how teams can create a strong partnership between product, design & engineering in a way that tears down the walls and instead focuses on three key principles:
Shared understanding
Deep collaboration
Continuous customer feedback
The workshop will take a look at how Bill has been able to apply Lean UX at PayPal — a place that in recent years has been the total antithesis of the lean startup idea. With very specific examples, he will share lessons learned applying lean to the full product life cycle as well as how it relates to agile development.
Finally, the workshop looks at the technology stack. In the last few years there has been an explosion of open source technology stacks that can support rapidly creating products, launching them to scale and rapidly iterating on them when live. While startups embrace these stacks from the get-go, large organizations struggle with how to embrace this change. This workshop will also look at the shift that has happened, what is driving this change, and how organizations can embrace this stack and how to marry Lean Tech with Lean UX.
Filip Healy (Threesixty Reality): Making Immersive Tech More UsableAugmentedWorldExpo
A talk from the Design Track at AWE EU 2018 - the World's #1 XR Conference & Expo in Munich, Germany 18 -19, October, 2018.
Filip Healy (Threesixty Reality): Making immersive tech more usable: Involving target users in your design process
Understanding user needs, design research and usability testing are common practice today for most digital products. It's rare for a mobile app or website from any serious company to go live without some degree of testing with users.
The benefits of involving users in the design process are well known to UX professionals and digital product managers: improved usability, reduced dropouts, optimised conversion rates, higher engagement and better user advocacy.
In this talk I'll discuss how this applies to immersive tech and why it's more important than ever to understand actual user behaviour and develop new interaction paradigms that deliver on the potential of VR and AR platforms. I'll talk through the process of running studies with users, when to test the design, how to set things up and what data to focus on in order to get the most benefit from testing with users. What can we learn from this type of research and why is it important for ensuring the success of our product?
http://AugmentedWorldExpo.com
From mentoring team members to aligning engineering efforts with business priorities, today’s companies are in dire need of great technical leaders. There is no management school for this and most organizations lack access to guidance or a mentorship framework that can transition their most talented core contributors into contemporary engineering managers. This talk will share tactics for using an engineer’s natural pattern-matching skills within a framework for dealing with the situationally complex problems that arise within growing modern technical teams.
It is now the norm that products, and the
services they provide, will be expected to
be available everywhere. Your customer’s
experience with your product will occur in
many contexts on a wide array of devices.
Understanding these touch points, and the
particular devices involved, will help your
team outline their strategy for feature delivery
and find innovative ways to deliver a more
holistic user experience.
Using a blend of Lean UX practices and Agile
iteration planning we will take a product
through the user journey, identify key touch
points and their contexts, and gain insights
into the integration points for each device.
Attendees will learn a framework for mapping
services across situations. They will also leave
with techniques to take the resulting map and
translate it into an actionable and testable
release plan for multiple devices. These
exercises and resulting conversations create
shared understanding between the entire
product team on features needed within each
component of the overall product architecture.
The resulting map and iteration plan keeps
everyone in alignment on how to deliver a
consistent user experience across all devices.
Carbon Five Tech Lead, Courtney Hemphill, joined a host of women speaking on their inspirations and journeys in science, technology, engineering, and math to celebrate Ada Lovelace day at Thoughtworks in SF. This talk focused on how Ada's uniquely creative and analytical upbringing allowed her to see future potential in technology and how early exposure to computers and puzzles inspired a balanced transition from design to development in Courtney's career.
Balanced Teams : How conflicting perspectives hatch creative solutionsCourtney Hemphill
With the ever increasing complexity involved in today’s technology, designers and developers are having to become more and more specialized. The greatest potential for innovation lies at the intersection between disciplines. Traditional brainstorming, used for decades and based on rapid idea generation free from critique, no longer is well suited to tackle the big sticky questions when everyone in the room is approaching the problem from the same knowledge base. Balanced teams of representatives from multiple disciplines focused on collaboration and continuous delivery have a greater chance of solving problems than siloed specialists.
This talk will dive into strategies both new and old drawn from a variety of domains that can be used to facilitate creative group thinking and drive innovation. These techniques are drawn from and inspired by companies large and small, the arts, design firms and case studies from my work at Carbon Five. They will show how conflicting views

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
