Are User Personas haunting you? Does your team have trouble using personas because as they seem too intangible? In practice unbelievably unrealistic: insubstantial, unhelpful and eventually ignored? Your project maybe haunted by ghost personas! Lost, walled up behind a stack of documentation, technically now just a whisper in your conscience, a glimpse of users in a corner of your eye…irrelevant…crying for usability where no one can hear them?
User Personas really help ground product teams in genuine data, freeing them to have productive user-centric conversations with stakeholders that shift away from debating personal opinions into decision-making, based on proven user research – but personas can be quite hard to assemble realistically: almost seeming like a Dark Art. In todays Lean and pressured environments they often get created too quickly on a shallow basis from vague data or stakeholder opinion, leading your product in entirely the wrong direction.
Continuing an ongoing theme, Mike Rawling, a ux veteran of many apocalyptic projects, will share the latest user research techniques being used today, combined with tried and tested experience of how you can work with personas in a pragmatic way that fits into the world of digital development – without compromising either UX or your XP, Agile or Lean principles.
Attendees will come away from this session with an understanding of qualitative user research and be able to revive their User Personas in your Agile/Lean/XP process so they continue to serve as a useful reference for you, your team and stakeholders throughout the life of your product. The session will end with awards including most life-like persona of the day!
Cleanse your product of ghost personas!
eXtreme User eXperience (XUX) - How one team melded UX with XPMichael Rawling
How one team melded UX with XP.
Our XP team have been developing a product in the spirit of start-up and are exploring how to get the best from UX expertise. The team developed personas and learnt how to use them to shape stories - even tagging cards with persona stickers and usability testing activities.
Our team is very technical and potentially there could be clashes when it comes to creative thinking so we’ve tried “design chavettes” with team collectively, deputising them into the UX team. We regularly go beyond pairing with multi-disciplinary tripling!
The whole team test and iterate on the product design as well as development. We embed our hand-drawn sketches directly into the product as placeholders for features, then implement basic versions adding polish as we go, reducing the distance barriers between users, stakeholders and developers.
Lean StartUp embraces a more scientific perspective to learn what works but often teams leap too fast to solutions without user perspectives in mind: the idea of XUX helps put brakes on without squelching ideas and innovation!

Reinvent Yourself - For Nova Business SchoolTiago Forjaz
This presentation was crafted to help Nova Business School's (Purpose Academy) students to boost self discovery and design their careers for the future.
This is an unofficial crowd-sourced document reflecting the impact and ideas shared at TEDxDUMBO (2010). The content was sourced from the audience live at the event. This document is offered in the context of a presentation reflecting on the practice of crowd-sourcing, participatory art, and rapid prototyping; and how this practice can influence the way we think about sharing our work.
Robert Sutton wrote this book because most of us, unfortunately,
have to deal with assholes in our workplaces at one time
or another. The No Asshole Rule shows how these destructive
characters damage their fellow human beings and under
mine organizational performance.
Personas are used across a wide variety of design specialties, from UX to Information Design to Industrial Design. They’re often a key deliverable of the discovery phase of most projects, and are used to inspire empathy in the minds of the people who will be designing for them.
But after the discovery phase, the personas often die. And they die without ceremony. No tears are shed, there’s no funeral; it’s rare that there’s even an acknowledgement of their passing.
For a tool that’s meant to create empathy, does this seem particularly non-empathic?
This talk explores the utility of personas as a part of the design process, and how we could perhaps use them differently. (This description is as morbid as it gets.)

Be Human! Breathing Life Into Your Social MediaBrandon Echter
Does this sound familiar? You’ve set up your organization’s Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram accounts and now they’re full of press releases. You only post sporadically – when you have a big announcement or during a fundraising campaign – and you get very little traction. Your Executive Director has an account, but it’s just a mirror of your organization. It all feels like you’re just monkeying around…
No, it doesn’t have to be this way. On February 24 at 2 PM ET, Brandon Echter, engagement manager at The Science Friday Initiative, offers practical tips and tricks to help you breathe life into your social media. Learn how to create a persona that will humanize your organization’s social media presence, and how to use that persona to help your staff advocate for your mission. Most importantly, learn how to use your social media to emphasize that you and your advocates are a community of people, creating stronger bonds and building a better groundwork for your mission.

Character, Personality, Identiy, and Archetypes - Some Thoughts & Activities ...Gudrun Dreher
Think about your identity and learn more about who you really are! The slides include several activities. One of them consists of playing with archetypes.
Is your Alexa giving you sass? Does your banking mobile app give you more confidence than your car’s software morals? Does your insurance app cause headaches?
This is the stuff we create! Giving life to experiences that rock people’s world, release by release and creating the future product by product feels like the coolest thing in the world...but ever felt there some things we could and should be doing with it? How do we create a bright future with software products? Innovative technology products and the people who use it are the waters that we naturally navigate through which means we can create an ethical future...
Let’s clip that pesky AI apocalypse in the bud...
Mike Rawling, a ux veteran of products and projects of all sizes and shapes, takes attendees on a multi-dimensional, time travelling experience, teasing apart science fiction from fact in the product design and development process where we will together create a healthy, ethical approach on the future of what we do and how we create it, in this rapidly changing landscape of INhuman politics, DISrupted devices, niche platforms and EXploding markets to complement our our XP, Agile, Lean, design and development principles.
All intelligences, Human and Artificial, are cordially invited!

Kevin roberts, CEO Saatchi & Saatchi
User Research is one of the cornerstones of UX but the sheer volume of techniques that are around, combined with jargon and ‘silo’d teams often means the shared, fundamental goals of many approaches - such as UCD, Design Thinking and Agile/XP to name but a few - of bringing together the understanding of the people who use a system with those who actually create it constantly fall short.
Mike Rawling, a ux veteran of projects of sizes and shapes, combines tried and tested experience with the latest practical techniques, hot from the ux trenches: including how to do user interviews right, observation and testing your ideas with users in a memorable and pragmatic way that fits right into the world of digital design and development - without compromising either UX or your XP, Agile or Lean principles.
Attendees will come away from this session with an introduction to using the right types of user research in your Agile/Lean/XP process so they continue to serve as a useful reference for your team and stakeholders throughout the life of your product.

SPEAKING TO THE RIGHT USERS AND GETTING MORE THAN FEATURE REQUESTS
"If you want understand how a Lions hunts, don’t go to the Zoo, go to the Savannah."
User Research is one of the cornerstones of UX but the sheer volume of techniques around, combined with jargon and ‘silo’d teams often means the fundamental goal of many approaches like UX and XP always seems beyond reach:
- To bring together (understanding of) the people who use a system with those who actually create it.
Mike Rawling, a ux veteran of products and projects of all sizes and shapes, takes attendees on a safari through the world of user research techniques, combining tried and tested formal UX experiences with the latest practical techniques, hot from the ux trenches you can use as a team. These include methods for user interviews, agile ethnography, user observation and practically testing your ideas with users in a measured way that fits right into the world of digital design and development: without compromising either UX or your XP, Agile, Lean or other development principles.
Those new to UX, new to user research or struggling with getting good feedback will come away from this session with an introduction to using the right types of user research in your Agile/Lean/XP process so they serve as an invaluable source of intelligence for you, your team and stakeholders, whilst most UX practitioners will come away with techniques that can help them solve the conundrum of ensuring rigorous user research in a rapidly changing landscape of disrupted devices, platforms and markets.
Michael Rawling will investigate Continuous Creative Integration from a UX & Product Design perspective.
As the whole industry runs after the latest buzz words and 'methodologies' in a quest to improve delivery and collaboration, UX & Design is often struggling to find its place in an Agile/Lean world. Clashing theories, dual tracking & mini waterfalls, lack of true cross-functional integration are some of the challenges Agile agencies are facing, with the added complexity of having much of the Product function sitting with the client.
Michael will facilitate a hands on workshop, working in a number of small groups, where you will be encouraged to bring, share and discuss your own ideas and challenges.
Presented in this version at the meetup: http://www.meetup.com/agile4agencies/

Memorandum Of Association Constitution of Company.pptseri bangash
www.seribangash.com
A Memorandum of Association (MOA) is a legal document that outlines the fundamental principles and objectives upon which a company operates. It serves as the company's charter or constitution and defines the scope of its activities. Here's a detailed note on the MOA:
Contents of Memorandum of Association:
Name Clause: This clause states the name of the company, which should end with words like "Limited" or "Ltd." for a public limited company and "Private Limited" or "Pvt. Ltd." for a private limited company.
https://seribangash.com/article-of-association-is-legal-doc-of-company/
Registered Office Clause: It specifies the location where the company's registered office is situated. This office is where all official communications and notices are sent.
Objective Clause: This clause delineates the main objectives for which the company is formed. It's important to define these objectives clearly, as the company cannot undertake activities beyond those mentioned in this clause.
www.seribangash.com
Liability Clause: It outlines the extent of liability of the company's members. In the case of companies limited by shares, the liability of members is limited to the amount unpaid on their shares. For companies limited by guarantee, members' liability is limited to the amount they undertake to contribute if the company is wound up.
https://seribangash.com/promotors-is-person-conceived-formation-company/
Capital Clause: This clause specifies the authorized capital of the company, i.e., the maximum amount of share capital the company is authorized to issue. It also mentions the division of this capital into shares and their respective nominal value.
Association Clause: It simply states that the subscribers wish to form a company and agree to become members of it, in accordance with the terms of the MOA.
Importance of Memorandum of Association:
Legal Requirement: The MOA is a legal requirement for the formation of a company. It must be filed with the Registrar of Companies during the incorporation process.
Constitutional Document: It serves as the company's constitutional document, defining its scope, powers, and limitations.
Protection of Members: It protects the interests of the company's members by clearly defining the objectives and limiting their liability.
External Communication: It provides clarity to external parties, such as investors, creditors, and regulatory authorities, regarding the company's objectives and powers.
https://seribangash.com/difference-public-and-private-company-law/
Binding Authority: The company and its members are bound by the provisions of the MOA. Any action taken beyond its scope may be considered ultra vires (beyond the powers) of the company and therefore void.
Amendment of MOA:
While the MOA lays down the company's fundamental principles, it is not entirely immutable. It can be amended, but only under specific circumstances and in compliance with legal procedures. Amendments typically require shareholder

The belief in manifestations of the spirits of the dead is
widespread, dating back to animism or ancestor worship in pre-
literate cultures.
Certain religious practices—funeral rites, exorcisms, and some
practices of spiritualism and ritual magic—are specifically
designed to rest the spirits of the dead.
Ghosts are generally described as solitary, human-like essences
that haunt particular locations, objects, or people they were
associated with in life, though stories of ghostly armies and the
ghosts of animals have also been recounted.

10 MIN CHALLENGE 2: DISTILL OUR
PERSONAS…
Actions
• Look at your persona attributes collected and, as a whole team, find and group those that
go together - like a believable person.
• Work your way across from one side to the other looking for affinity between your post-its
attributes and create new groups that go together in a natural, realist way
• Keep the number of groups you create from about 2 to 5 (7 at the outside) merge similar
groups if you get too many
Don’t
Don’t try too hard to find grouping where there are none or ‘project’ your own groupings on
unconnected attributes – only use the facts you have collected from your observations.
Result
Have created about 5 natural groups of persona attributes that go together: for even better
results organise them….and NAME THEM!

You might not know if you do – just have this overwhelming feeling of uncertainty, lack of trust in your design(widest sense) decisions and more specifically who’s using your software – i.e. in your personas
Raise your hands if you have no explicit personas!
Raise your hands if you spoke to your personas in the last month? Consult or use them?
Raise you hands if you’ve fed your personas in the last three months?
Raise you hands if you’ve checked the validity of your personas in the last three months?
Getting the message from users to the team
One key challenge to the process is how best and most efficiently to
communicate a users requests and underlying needs into the stories and to
developers who are making dozens of decisions a day to get closer to what is needed in the interface?
It seems clear that building empathy and instilling the spirit of users’ needs and most tricky – their perspective on things.
….So let’s have a look where to spot them…
no substance, no data or research backing - don't just sketch them up from someone's imagination…

will drink your team life blood, taking energy from the team and are afraid of the light of collaborative day…
Only using customer service feedback comments will give you a certain skew on who your customers are and what they want.
Watch out for fragmented personas made up of unaligned, unrefined parts.
In a persona creation process, multiple sources of information are distilled workshop
So we all love BoosterConf and we want to ensure there are no problems with their website now and in future – so we’re going to use some good anti-zombie persona practices on these guys

We have found some UX concepts a struggle for some developers to take on board – particularly qualitative research and analysis of results to draw actionable conclusions, despite being extremely willing to offer their opinions after a piece of research has gone on.
What is it?
One team member takes the role of ‘Google Analyst’ for ½ an iteration.
We pair on an activity to analyse the results in Google Analytics but with the programmer ‘driving’ with as little intervention from me as possible.
So far this has been really successful - the developer really got into it
