Putting experience first from the MVP on up. My slides from a 60 minute talk I gave at FITC UX.
Alas, I had to pull several videos from the talk to post here, but suffice to say, there are some additional great examples of putting experience first with those web and mobile videos.

As designers, we know we should be doing research, testing and iteration as part of our design process, but those things are often what gets bypassed in favour of ‘getting it done’.
This talk will discuss the different types of research we can perform on digital projects, how to conduct effective research, and how to test our designs with real users to uncover important insights into our projects.
I’ll also discuss how to sell the added time and cost to bosses and clients, and how to do it on a shoestring budget.
I’ve performed UX research and testing for a number of our clients at Headspace and I’ve also applied it to our own software startup, so I have good case studies to show a practical application of the knowledge.
This is the talk I delivered at the 2015 Podcamp Halifax. It was all the fails building multiple web products within my agency and the lessons learned from it.
Every venture capitalist, board member and startup advisor counsels the entrepreneur to focus on building their minimum viable product (MVP). But how exactly does a company build out its MVP? Learn how the right framework guides your development from MVP to a mature product.
Over the past several years, the lean startup movement has made the Minimal Viable Product (MVP) a key approach to incrementally discovering effective products and services. In this talk, Levent Gurses will discuss a 5 step MVP process for building great minimum viable products that's been used in real client engagements. His process has been developed working with more than 20 enterprise full-stack and mobile clients over the course of several years. Topics will include the challenges of creating the MVP vision, scoping the activity, what should an MVP cost in time and money, and what should you have when you are “done”. Not only sharing his tales of MVP development, he will provide insights in how he's developed methods to effectively drive vision and development execution.
What is an MVP?
A product that has the absolute minimal set of core features necessary to prove a hypothesis, generally linked to commercial success or market validation. The MVP seeks the highest return on investment versus risk.
The Rise of the Lean Startup Movement
The lean startup movement came about as a result of analysis of many startup successes and failures. Development timeframes have become shorter and customer engagement has increased, which is helping companies better product-market fit and a path to success.
Presentation Outline:
• The MVP Vision (What will I have at the end of the effort?)
• Brief history of the lean startup movement
• Scoping
• Budgeting for MVP
• Features: The MVP Way
• Essential vs. peripheral features
• Must have to prove a hypothesis vs. nice to have
• Assembling a team
• Hiring contractors or vendor firms to build the MVP
• Choosing a technology
• Fake it until you make it: How to create mock features for an MVP

It’s the Experience That Makes the Product, Not the Features
with Lee Dale
presented on March 07 2015
at FITC's Spotlight UX/UI
More info at www.fitc.ca
OVERVIEW
All too often, products are brought to market with a feature-first approach. A list of functions that are needed to meet business goals such as sign-ups or downloads, views or shares. There’s little thought that’s gone into who the user of the product will be, what their goals are, and what it will take to provide meaningful value to them.
We’ll look at what it means to bring a focused, valuable Minimum Viable Product (MVP) to market. An MVP that can help you learn how to better serve your users, and the business that’s footing the bill.
OBJECTIVE
To understand that no great product began with a list of features. It’s the experience that engages users and drives adoption, so it’s the experience that you need to focus on when bringing a product to market.
TARGET AUDIENCE
Product Owners, Developers, Founders, UX/UI Designers.
ASSUMED AUDIENCE KNOWLEDGE
This should be a great introduction for folks who are thinking of bringing a product to market or are working on a product which isn’t quite connecting with its intended audience.
FIVE THINGS AUDIENCE MEMBERS WILL LEARN
Great digital products do just one thing really well.
They serve a target that can’t live without that one thing.
Features are a byproduct of the product experience—they don’t drive the experience.
You need to deliver a focused MVP to market.
Then learn from that MVP and continue to refine the experience for your users, and your business.

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.
