This document discusses improving the design process for converting ideas into apps. It notes that traditionally, requirements specification focused more on graphic design than user interaction and usability, and was based on random stereotypes rather than user goals. However, a better solution is outlined: 1) Create personas to represent typical users 2) Choose a key persona and test prototypes with real users 3) Iterate the design based on user testing to improve usability and meet user needs and goals

UX in development driven culture
This document discusses challenges that can arise when development teams drive product design rather than user experience (UX) teams. It presents two models for organizing UX teams - an internal UX agency model and a cross-functional model. The internal agency model keeps UX teams separate from development to focus on future features and consistency, while the cross-functional model embeds UX within development teams for fast feedback but risks losing focus on the big picture.
Usability engineering Usability testing
Usability testing involves having users interact with a product to evaluate how easy or difficult it is to use. Formal testing uses a dedicated lab with equipment, while informal testing observes users in ordinary settings with minimal equipment. The basic process involves planning tasks, selecting participants, conducting sessions, analyzing results, and making recommendations. Tests should have a plan, task list, and observe participants to identify problems and improve the user experience.
Requirement gathering-and-lean-canvas
This document discusses requirements gathering for software development projects. It defines what requirements are, including business, functional, and technical requirements.

Foundations For A Great User Experience
User Experience professionals are commonly called upon to fix a problematic design or help drive product enhancements. There is a wealth of research methods to help assess the success of an existing interface. But what about the early phases of a new product or concept? Do these same methods still apply? How can you best tailor your approach to gather useful input when your product and/or company are still in the formative stages?
For this presentation, Dorothy M. Danforth will discuss various low overhead, high-impact research methods available to Web Designers and UX professionals when creating new products, scenarios for when and how to use these methods, as well as general insights on how to get the most out of early stage R&D processes. Some illustrative examples and ideas from past product-concept research efforts will be provided.
Talking points to include:
• considerations when developing a UX focused research plan for a new product or concept
• how brand and corporate culture can impact and possibly drive interface decisions
• how the research process can identify organizational knowledge gaps (and vice versa)
• integrating UX research within the creative (visual design) and engineering processes

Surviving Back to Back Design Sprints and Securing UX Presence in Product Design
A modified Google Ventures design sprint methodology was applied to seven back to back design sprints on three product lines. The UX team had previously been a reactive agile design team that had minimal support from product owners and stakeholders. With management championship, the design sprints were implemented with the UX team, product owners and stakeholders. Additions were made to the Google Venture methods to minimize our internal challenges and increase the success of the sprint. Outputs from each design sprint were presented to upper management and became part of the product road maps. The sprints not only increased collaboration between roles, but transformed the UX team into a spearheading product vision and solutions team.

UNIT 1-IDENTIFY THE NEED FOR SOFTWARE ENGINEERING DEVELOPMENT.pptx
The document discusses planning for a software engineering project. It begins by outlining the key steps in planning: defining the problem, developing a solution strategy, planning the development process, and planning the organizational structure. For the development process, it recommends using a phased lifecycle model with milestones, documents, and reviews. It also discusses estimating costs and scheduling. The organizational structure could follow a project, functional, or matrix format. Programming teams may use different structures like democratic, chief programmer, or hierarchical models. Overall, the document provides guidance on the essential activities needed to properly plan a software engineering project.
How to Integrate UX and Agile
The document discusses integrating user experience (UX) design into agile development processes. It describes four common approaches: big upfront design, just-in-time design, design spikes, and sprint pairs. The sprint pairs approach has designers work one sprint ahead of developers. The document also discusses tailoring agile projects for UX work, creating UX release plans and roadmaps, conducting user research, and establishing a usability backlog to track and prioritize issues. Seven keys to success with integrating UX and agile are outlined.
Integrating User Experience Design into the Product Lifecycle
There is overwhelming evidence that investing in the user experience (UX) produces a superior product. When the needs of the customer are met, it becomes much easier to meet business goals. Many companies still do not put their focus on UX, instead relying on what organically comes out of the software development process. Often, it is not a lack of interest in UX, but rather a gap in skills and knowledge that prevents good UX design practices from being applied to product development.
Learn how to put “UX First” in the product lifecycle, allowing developers to focus on engineering tasks and build the correct product to meet and exceed customer needs. We will explore the relationship of UX to Agile development methods, help explain some of the UX jargon and present strong business reasons to focus on UX no matter where you are currently in the product lifecycle.

Usability Workshop, 11-8-2012
Information architecture is the structural design of shared information environments. It involves organizing systems of information to help users find what they need. Key aspects of information architecture include site navigation systems, labeling schemes, search, and the relationships between different types of content. Information architecture provides an underlying framework that guides how users interact with and move through an information space.

UXLX2012 User Research Hacks
This document summarizes three user research hacks presented by Gene Smith at UX Lisbon in 2012. The hacks provide kludgy but effective ways to conduct user research when clients have small budgets, limited time, or lack executive support. The first hack uses a content prioritization card sort to understand users' information needs. The second hack uses A/B testing in SurveyMonkey to evaluate website mockups. The third hack boosts interview responses by having participants select emotion cards to describe their experiences. The goal is to provide low-cost, high-impact ideas for user research projects.
