This session aims to provide insights on the importance of a design due diligence and how one may be conducted. Key topics cover a broad spectrum, starting from the evaluation of the design team capabilities, the assessment of the user experience through traditional methods and ending with the development of a novel framework, which supports UX designers and practitioners in the classification of identified usability issues. Results inform the decision-making process of replacing, maintaining or modernizing the evaluated product in question.

Aginext 2021: Built-in Quality - How agile coaches can contributeDerk-Jan de Grood
Built-in Quality is key when you want to achieve Business Agility. Yesterday I spoke at the AgiNext Conference in London. In my presentation I explained the importance of Built-in Quality, what is actually is and introduced an approach to implement it. The presentation explains how we can take a validated learning approach to eliminate waste and learn how to improve our development life cycle. I share the suggestions that SAFe makes and give a prioritised overview of quality measures. Throughout the presentation I share my thought on how Agile Coaches can contribute to built quality in.

The challenge of product managers at most times is to have an objective and mathematical way to decide which product ideas to bet upon and reject "good ideas" against the "better" ones. Such things can be driven by ego or emotions, more so if you have cross-functional teams and owners. You ought to be at the top of your game and follow a rigorous process to ensure that you decide based on data.

By embracing a collaborative assessment model to evaluate technology platforms, life sciences organizations can better address cross-functional stakeholder needs.
• 5.3 years of experience in Software Testing (Functional Testing).
• 1.8 years of client onsite experience in Waltham, MA USA.
• Worked with Banking domain clients like JP Morgan Banking group (4 years’ experience)
• Excellent QA experience in all phases of Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) and Software Testing Life Cycle (STLC).
• Good Experience and Knowledge in different project management models like waterfall and Agile Scrum.
• Expertise in Functional, Integration, Regression, SIT, Black Box and User Acceptance Testing (UAT).
• Extensive experience in creating Testing milestones like Test Plans, Test Scenarios, Test Strategies, Test Cases, Test Reports and RTMs.
• Played different roles – as Scrum Master, QA Lead, Senior Tester, SME, BA etc.
• Worked on – Requirement analysis, Test Condition preparation, Test script Creation in Manual & BPT format, Test Execution, Defect life cycle workflow, Performance testing etc.
• Business Analyst experience in working closely with product partners, defining requirements, creating design documents and interface diagrams.
• Dedicated, conscientious individual with strong sense of responsibility, work flexibility and adaptation to changing environments professionally and personally.
Software organizations that want to maximize the yield of Software Testing find that choosing the right testing strategy is hard, and most testing managers are ill-prepared for this. The organization has to learn how to plan testing efforts based on the characteristics of each project and the many ways the software product is to be used. This tutorial is intended for Software professionals who are likely to be responsible for defining the strategy and planning of the testing effort and managing it through its life cycle. These roles are usually Testing Managers or Project Managers.
Why is focus on customer excellence so important? Because in a global, connected world in which venues, products and services are increasingly interchangeable and prices ever more transparent, the (memorable) customer experience often becomes the key differentiator. Customer Excellence pays off in general: customer retention is far less expensive than customer acquisition and great customer experience results in the reduction of (process) costs within the framework of complaint handling. Plus - it’s a profitable marketing strategy: Word-of-mouth advertising is the best kind of advertising that money can’t buy.
In this session we will show you examples and approaches on how to set-up up a customer experience measurement program that will provide you with precise data on your customers and actionable insights for the definition of customer excellence measures which will be helping you to ensure sustainable business success with meeting organizers in companies and associations.

Connect is both the lifeblood of capitalism, and its most volatile competitive field. In this Arena, the mightiest of brands compete – in a state of near permanent transformation – to be the primary point of connection between people, between things, and between people and things. Over the next 100 years, humans will experience the equivalent of 20,000 years of technological advancement. In the Decade of Possibility, changes that once took decades will happen in years – or even months, driving a revolution in the ways people and things Connect. What does this mean for brands? Everything…
Experience may be the best teacher, but how does a team experience accessibility? We generally learn best by doing or feeling for ourselves. An accessibility workshop has the power to bring that immediate sense of understanding to teams – and personal understanding results in better solutions. In this session, Jess Vice outlines why accessibility is a strategic investment. With her expertise in UX and design responsibility, she will walk the audience through a framework for a tactical accessibility workshop to make equitable design a priority for every team.

The Metaverse and blockchain-based tokens sound like nerdy buzzwords but they represent the bleeding edge of new opportunities for brands to cultivate relationships with their audience, from creating new product experiences to building real communities.
Luis will share his entirely subjective view on what's possible here based on nearly two years of immersion in the space (which feels like seven years in web3 world).
You'll hear about:
+ Tapping into an emerging wellspring of creativity
+ Harnessing technology to empower the audience
+ Nurturing environments of authenticity and fascination
+ Leveraging new kinds of data for programmability and insights
The cobbler’s children and their lack of shoes is an overused reference but so handy as a quaint way to say, ‘we’re too busy doing work for other people to focus on ourselves.’ When Tether was founded more than fourteen years ago, a temporary logo and website was hastily created in order to have something to make Tether look legitimate. And, you guessed it, that temporary logo and website became permanent for way too long.
In this presentation, Steve will reveal the process and results of being a good client to ourselves as we created a new face for Tether, including a sneak peek of the new website that will go live in November.
There is a massive shift happening in the social and media space as GenZ and Younger Millennials are shifting their time and attention away from traditional social platforms and leaning into healthier, community-based options. The trust in news and influencers is on the decline, and this is changing the landscape quickly.
From a brand perspective, all of the iOS and Android changes are forcing marketers to rethink targeting, audiences and shift toward interests, passions and other signals.
These two forces (consumer and marketer shifts), along with the economy, are creating the most important inflection point for businesses and people in over a decade.
So some scientists mapped thousands of brain cells....why should you care? Rachel and Jenny tell the crazy cool stories behind the complicated science of the Allen Institute. In this session, you’ll learn marketing, communications, and SEO tips to promote complex topics to your audience. From building relationships with subject matter experts to finding surprising angles that make technical topics approachable, you’ll walk away with new ideas to make any tricky topic shine and to grow your audience beyond just the experts.
As we are in a global market, there’s more to win over international audiences than just translate text into another language or simply updating UI components. Localizing your user experience design is to adapt international products for a specific region to create relevant and appropriate experiences for users. With extensive experience in UX/UI design and visual design for the global audience, Shantelle Liu will share the the matters, the definition, and best practices of localizing user experience design.
History is not simply a chronology of events that happened in a particular order. History is a meticulously curated phenomenon of power. How history is created -and who gets to tell that story- has one of the most significant impacts on our society. But we never talk about it.
In this talk, we’re going to! We will explore how history is constructed and how we can use that knowledge to create the legacy for which we want to be remembered. We will learn about the roles of presence and absence in history-making and how those who leverage those roles often control power. We will also discuss practical ways in which we can all reclaim our personal agency and drive the narrative that will become our lives, our families, and our society.
Learning Objectives:
+ Discover the secrets to history-making that have remained unchanged for centuries.
+ Learn how to actively write your own story in the way you’d wish to be remembered.
+ Take-away four techniques to help harness the power of your own story."
As much as we take photos throughout our lives and now grab screen captures of our connected virtual moments, the tools will converge as we move through the metaverse. The way we capture what we see will change, but our want to remember, interpret (editing), re-imagine (editing!) and share will continue.
Getting people to your website is just the first step. Once they're there, your content needs to keep them engaged long enough to get them to the call to action. The best way to engage readers is through stories, so in this presentation, Alison Ver Halen will provide actionable tips you can use to include stories in your content that demonstrate the value your business provides so your target audience is primed to take your call to action.
The constant pressure on marketers to prove return on ad spend (ROAS) is receiving particular emphasis heading into 2023. Economic headwinds are signaling uncertainty, retail is transforming rapidly as shoppers return to stores after over two years of quarantine and a mainstay of digital advertising — third-party cookies — are continuing to collapse.
The good news is that marketers don’t have to navigate these challenges (and opportunities) alone. Learn how this fast-evolving digital landscape can remake programmatic advertising to benefit marketers and consumers alike. Heading into next year, what trends can marketers expect in digital advertising, and how can they leverage the power of people-based advertising to succeed in the evolving landscape?
Your superpower is developing strategic copy that's grounded in rationale. But when it comes to writing creative headlines, it might not come easy. From left brain to right brain, Brianne will share her journey to enhanced creativity and share four frameworks you can use to get out of your head and write headlines that stick. You won't explore your typical 'how-to' and listicle headlines in this session. Go beyond the surface and walk away with immediately actionable strategies and the confidence to generate a sea of creative headlines for your next copywriting project.
When you started your business you probably didn’t think about all the day-to-day marketing and promotion you’d be doing. You’re not a marketer but you know you need marketing. Outsourcing your social media marketing is great way to establish consistency in your online presence, while allowing you to focus on what you do best — your business. However, a company’s marketing strategy should be integrated into every part of your business to be more effective. Learn how you can bring marketing in-house and build a social media team that can thrive over time.
Website marketing has an altruism problem. While forward-thinking professionals are beginning to understand that successful websites are built for humans, too many of us are still trying to ""game the system"" to stay in Google's good graces. Decision-makers have been burnt by cookie-cutter agencies and frustrated by strategies that don't seem to spark movement. The key to accelerating and future-proofing your online presence is in rethinking your SEO program to involve more teams, inform more decisions, and bring the focus back to your users.
In this session, you'll learn:
+ How to think beyond page titles and meta descriptions to design a modern, sophisticated website strategy
+ How to tell whether your SEO agency is worth the price tag
+ How to maximize your investment in SEO by removing silos and adopting a 360-degree perspective"

Are you still manually managing granular campaigns, but your ROAS are dropping? With the progress of Artificial Intelligence over the past few years, machines can now predict trends and make automated decisions in real-time. With this, it is crucial for advertisers to explore this new modern approach. By making the shift from overly segmented targeting and using too many keywords, to a simplified and more efficient account structure, you’re allowing machine learning to work to its best ability. In this session, Ashley Royalty, Director of Add3SHOP, will discuss modern practices and full-funnel activations that helped transform brands like IT Cosmetics, Nuun, and Elemis into million-dollar assets.
As the market has become saturated with advertisements for consumers, leaning into pop culture has proved to be the key to standing apart, especially since 38% of people consider brand involvement in pop culture either important or very important. Still, many brands opt to stay on the conservative side and avoid taking big (albeit culturally relevant) risks. When The Narrative Group took a seemingly “boring” product like yogurt and made it bold by championing the sometimes controversial “cannabis holiday” with Harmless Harvest’s “Harmless Hits Different” Pack a Bowl campaign for 4/20, they were met with 168M earned media impressions, 11M influencer impressions, and record-breaking sales. The success continued with their “thirstiest summer” campaign promoting their coconut water, tapping into “thirst traps” and recognizing “the thirst is real” with their consumers, and logging over 3M impressions in the first 3 months alone. Rebecca can share why bold, culturally relevant, and sometimes “risky” ideas can lead to the most successful campaigns.
At the end of this session, the audience will be able to:
+ Understand what “brand swagger” is and how you can use that confidence and boldness to boost your brand and campaigns
+ Navigate and find the right threshold for trying new ideas that still align with the brand
+ Develop a strategy to connect to an audience who “gets it” - building trust with your current audience but also expanding to new ones
The Metaverse will require more content than we can realistically build manually, and it will need to be dynamically generated, personalised and completely interactive. This talk focuses on two groundbreaking projects: Creating an entirely AI-generated and interactive TV show and our inevitable future of 3D streamed media, specifically interactive streamed volumetric sports broadcasts. Adam will show how both projects work under the hood with live demos of the technology and breakdowns of the key points. Components include procedural cinematography, shot evaluation, ML pose estimation, dialogue and narrative synthesis, touch interactivity, intuitive UX and the challenges of streaming huge amounts of content to mobile devices. You’ll see what will hopefully be the very first, fully AI-generated TV show running 24 hours a day and never before presented versions of the latest Metacast technology, transforming how media is broadcast.
Have you ever wondered how to learn a new craft? In this session, Tiantian will share her knowledge on mastering a new craft using the 100-day-project format. You will learn about how to set up a daily routine, apply deliberate practice, and eventually become a better designer in 100 days.
As the amount of personal data we produce continues to grow, so does the sophistication of the technology used to collect it. However, this ever-expending ecosystem of customer data is becoming so complex that few people actually understand how it all works, creating a widening divide between the data haves and haven-nots. To level the playing field, we’ll explain how customer data is used for personalization and targeted marketing in words that even a 5-year-old can understand—literally. In this session, we’ll tell the story of Parker, a data manifestation who travels through the strange world of the digital information on a journey to find his way home. Along the way, we’ll explain concepts like Customer Data Platforms (CDPs), predictive modeling, data on-boarding and more. It’s a story the whole family can enjoy, including technologists, marketers and privacy advocates.

With increased digital media consumption, comes increased expectations. Brands are challenged on a daily basis to share engaging visual media across all social channels. In this imagery-driven environment, we have seen video come out on top as the most valued type of content. While video is expected to continue to grow, another major consideration is the increased importance of personalization. Personalization requires brands to look at content differently. How do you scale the required content while meeting the personalization needs that brands are looking for? This talk will discuss strategies that brands are using to localize and personalize content as it becomes an increasingly crucial element of consumer engagement and loyalty.

along the full customer
lifecycle, including different
stages when a customer uses
the application (e.g., buying a
product)
Introduction
First phase of user lifecycle is establishing a
link to the user (e.g., registration)
Dimension: Acquisition, activation
Growth
End users are on-boarded, learn and explore the offered services
of the application Dimension: Retention
Maturity
Users are familiar with all offered features and can fully leverage
them Dimension: Referral, advocacy, revenue
Saturation
End-user activities are declining as engagement incentives and
sensation of new impulses slowly wear off

• Reinforcement necessary to renew the growth
• Contraction
• End-of-life (e.g., account deletion)
13. Usability Dimensions
Enabling efficient and
successful operational usage
by focusing mainly on
behavioral metrics like the
measurement of efficiency,
effectiveness, etc.
Error rates
Measuring number of errors the customer made by completing a
task (or errors caused by the system)
Number of completed tasks
Tracking number of successfully completed tasks within a given
timeframe to make efficiency levels comparable
Number of clicks
Counting the number of clicks on a specific site or module
of the product to identify hot spots or complexity drivers
Ease of use
Understanding end users perception on how easy it is to use the
product to identify preferred improvement areas
14. UI perception
This cluster mainly covers
attitudinal metrics, for
example “what the end-users
say about the front-end of
the application”
Satisfaction towards the interface
Measuring end-user satisfaction while using the interface (e.g.,
booking a flight) to identify
levers which matter
Usefulness
Rating the usefulness of the interface (e.g., support of booking
form) while completing a process
Quality of feedback messages
Evaluating provided feedback messages regarding their

Depending on the chosen assessment approach, each
methodology provides a certain breadth and depth
21. Carry out the assessment
• Depending on the selected assessment typology, consider
each step of the assessment carefully
• Follow best practices when carrying out any evaluations
(e.g., for experts interviews)
Calibration of maturity levels regarding baseline (industry,
product, target group, solution purpose)
Link it to a maturity level
• Break down the analysis into individual issues or assessed
tasks
• Link the results a pre-defined scale and provide a maturity
level for the overall system
Phase 3: DD evaluation
22. Identified issues Maturity assessment
Main menu reveals inconsistent colors and is linked
with the wrong page. It therefore conflicts with the
rule “Consistency of Standards”
Filter function is hidden and at the wrong place and
therefore conflicts with the rule “Consistency of
Standards”
Severity 1 Severity 2
Severity 3 Severity 4
Usability catastrophe imperative to fix this before
product can be released
Major usability problem important to fix, so
should be given high priority

• Aim for a proper categorization of the identified results
(e.g., severity level, importance)
Based on the identified issues the design due diligence should
provide
• Detailed recommendations on how to improve the
identified issues, including the effort to fix
• Risk analysis which help the evaluators in their decision-
making process of replacing, maintaining or modernizing
the system in question

Choose heuristics
Literature provides several lists of
heuristics, which represent common
user experience guidelines
Analyze and present
Severity rating is added to each of the identified issue. The
list of issues is organized by the issues containing the highest
deviance against the selected heuristics
Evaluate and identify
Experts evaluate against the selected set of heuristics. The
final results will be aggregated and discussed. Findings
should describe the issues specific and clearly

Understand requirements and users
The experts who evaluate the product should understand the
business needs of the product as well as the target group (e.g.,
accessibility for an older audience)
29. Heuristic evaluation uses 10 heuristics for user
interface design
Visibility of system
status
The system informs the user
about the current system
status (e.g., signup process,
file upload, booking a
flight).
Match between
system and the real
world
The system design should
follow the characteristics of
the real world.
User control
and freedom
Users should move freely
between the different
stages of a process and
often require a
“emergency” exit.
Consistency and
standards
The overall design should
follow interface standards.
Error prevention
Good design prevents
problems from occurring
before the next step.
Recognition rather
than recall
The memory load of the
user should be minimized.
Flexibility and
efficiency of use
The system should be
designed for experienced
and inexperienced users. Aesthetic and
minimalistic design
Designs should not contain
irrelevant information.
Every irrelevant information
competes with relevant
pieces of information.
Help and
documentation
Help information should be
structured and easy to find.
Help users recognize,
diagnose and recover
from errors
Error messages should
express the problem
precisely.
30. Visibility of system status
The system informs the user about the
current system status (e.g., signup
process, file upload, booking a flight).
31. Match between system
and the real world
The system design should follow the
characteristics of the real world.
32. User control and
freedom
Users should move freely between the
different stages of a process and often
require a “emergency” exit.
37. Aesthetic and minimalist
design
Designs should not contain irrelevant
information. Every irrelevant information
competes with relevant pieces of
information.
40. Two usability experts conducted a heuristic evaluation of two
applications within the finance domain by following the guidelines of
Nielsen Norman Group (NNG).

46. “Component based architectures foster reusable components and therefore aim to handle changes more quickly.”
“UI libraries of modern web-based architectures can be updated much more flexible than older systems with less
capabilities.”
“Modern user interfaces solve problems in different ways and therefore a comparison of identified issues between two system
could be unrealistic.”
“Generally, current tech stacks have a higher focus on maintainability.”
“Especially for legacy systems, the effort to fix evolves around the replacement, maintenance or the modernization of
functionalities or the entire system. Consequently, this requires extensive expertise, preparation and planning as well.
Therefore, the decision-making process is also more time consuming.”

1
The step can be accomplished by the target user, due to low cognitive load or
because it‘s a known pattern, such as the acceptance of a terms-of-service
agreement
3
The step is difficult for the target user, due to significant cognitive load or
confusion, some target users would likely fail or abandon the task at this point
