Many UX practitioners learn by doing and researching on the fly. This approach can also help those who want to develop their careers, who feel stuck in a narrow role when job postings seem to be looking for unicorns. Kate draws on her own experience and that of her peers.

You’ve worked hard on the information architecture models you’ve created but haven’t been able to sell them to the client, or your co-workers. Maybe the conversation around the IA has broken down into an unhealthy debate over semantics. In another scenario, you are tasked with creating a controlled vocabulary for a large organization that has a silo mentality and a lot of legacy content. Where to begin?
These scenarios will sound familiar to most user experience professionals. In this deck, I share my techniques for getting an organization that may have different ideas about how to organize and name content to agree upon a controlled vocabulary.
I also share specific tools in the form of diagrams, beyond the ubiquitous sitemap and wireframe, which communicate complex ideas. And techniques for practicing information architecture with clients collaboratively.
Great Voice Experiences Start with Listening: Best Practices in Research and ...UXPA International
Gartner predicts 75% of households will have a smart speaker like Amazon Echo, Google Home, or Apple HomePod by 2020. UX professionals will find increasing opportunities to design and test interactions for this new paradigm.
Attend this talk to hear findings from a two- part UX research study combining a quantitative survey of ~1000 smart speaker users and 10 in-home interviews to further understand device usage in context. I’ll share insights about smart speaker use cases, development opportunities for features and functionality, and design best practices for Voice User Interface (VUI) research and design. Further, I’ll cover the unique needs and considerations for conducting VUI research.
I’ll answer questions like:
* How will ‘Voice First” design affect the UX of other interfaces?
* What is Domino’s doing right? And what are they getting wrong?
* What’s the biggest difference between usability testing for voice and for graphic UIs?
* Attendees will learn what smart speaker users want and don’t want from their tiny assistants and best practices for conducting their own research with VUIs.

SXSW - Diving Deep: Best Practices For Interviewing UsersSteve Portigal
While we know, from a very young age, how to ask questions, the skill of getting the right information from users is surprisingly complex and nuanced. This session will focus on getting past the obvious shallow information into the deeper, more subtle, yet crucial, insights. If you are going to the effort to meet with users in order to improve your designs, it's essential that you know how to get the best information and not leave insights behind. Being great in "field work" involves understanding and accepting your interviewee's world view, and being open to what they need to tell you (in addition to what you already know you want to learn). We'll focus on the importance of rapport-building and listening and look at techniques for both. We will review different types of questions, and why you need to have a range of question types. This session will explore other contextual research methods that can be built on top of interviewing in a seamless way. We'll also suggest practice exercises for improving your own interviewing skills and how to engage others in your organization successfully in the interviewing experience.
Getting Personal: Do Personas Help or Hinder Content Design? Kelly Wondracek
Personas are tricky things. While their intent is to understand a user and effectively speak to their needs, they can often lead us astray if we’re not careful. Under the hood, there are often misunderstandings, missed opportunities, and wonky assumptions.
This presentation reflects about lessons learned through audience targeting, particularly in the realm of UX content strategy. How do we avoid personal biases and pave the way for sincere empathy? Is it better to be broad or specific? Is it even possible to assess the unique needs of everyone who will be experiencing your product or design?

"A scenario is a description of a person’s interaction with a system.
Scenarios help focus design efforts on the user’s requirements, which are distinct from technical or business requirements.
Scenarios may be related to ‘use cases’, which describe interactions at a technical level. Unlike use cases, however, scenarios can be understood by people who do not have any technical background. They are therefore suitable for use during participatory design activities." http://infodesign.com.au/usabilityresources/scenarios/

AASHE 2014 Student Summit- Preparing for the Real World: Kickstarting Your Su...Mieko Ozeki
While students will still have to determine the exact career they would like to pursue, and maybe pick out what they will wear on interview day, at the end of the workshop they should hopefully have the rest covered. Attendees will assess their hard and soft skills, discover what work they enjoy, determine the assets they need to build, learn how to build a professional portfolio and learn how to create their own brand to set them apart. We hope to have students walk out of the presentation confident that they can handle the next steps to land their first job out of college. No matter their major, job experience, and extracurriculars, students will leave with a better appreciation of their strengths and understand there are multiple paths to be followed on the way to their dream green job. Attendees will learn about themselves through interactive activities, including mind mapping and writing their own compelling and engaging story. Attendees are encouraged to assess and reflect on their own personal experiences and passions to uncover what makes them unique and valuable. They will then be able to build their own personal portfolios and establish an undeniable online and physical presence. We even offer a brief introduction to the general sustainability field, as well as suggest on-campus tools and search engines to find green jobs.

Requirements Engineering for the HumanitiesShawn Day
This workshop explores how requirements engineering can be employed by digital and non-digital humanities scholars (and others) to conceptualise and communicate a research project.
requirementsEngineeringAs the field of digital humanities has evolved, one of the biggest challenges has been getting the marrying technical expertise with humanities scholarly practice to successfully deliver sustainable and sound digital projects. At its core this is a communications exercise. However, to communicate effectively demands an ability to effectively translate, define and find clarity in your own mind.
When you get started with digital learning, technology is only one of the many challenges. What is even more difficult is creating a learning experience that engages your learners and transforms the performance of your organisation. One of the keys to a successful digital learning course is designing learning experiences that allow your employees to practice their new found skills.
This webinar will introduce you to processes, ideas and tactics that will allow you to build engaging and effective digital learning programs.
Topics to that where covered:
- What does an instructional designer do?
- Introduction to basic frameworks and theories
- The instructional design process
- Hints and tips about visual design and media
- Trends in digital learning authoring tools
The elements of product success for designers and developersNick Myers
All software, whether it's for consumers or workers, needs to meet the ever growing demands people have in today’s world. Greater user expectations and influence are forcing companies to create and deliver better products, but not every organization has a rich heritage in software creation like tech giants Apple and Google. Most companies need to be more customer-focused, become design specialists, and transform their cultures as they shift to become both software makers and innovators.
Myers, head of design services at Cooper, will share the elements of product success that companies need to possess and be market leaders: user insight, design, and organization. Myers will share principles and techniques that successful innovative companies use to truly understand their customers. He’ll also discuss the methods effective designers use to support their customers and create breakthrough ideas and delightful experiences. And he’ll finish by sharing the magic formula organizations need to deliver ground-breaking experiences to market.
This talk was given at UX Day.
This presentation gives a brief overview of user experience design and important principles of user-friendly design. Meant for those just starting in the UX space or looking to improve their knowledge!
Topics covered include:
What is user experience?
Different research techniques: when to do what type of research, how to formulate strong questions
Creating a persona
Problem statements
And more!

I'm Graduating Soon. Help! How Do I Get into the Tech Field?Tessa Mero
The tech field is booming and more and more companies are moving to be fully remote, giving more options to work at different tech companies. There are so many software engineering jobs open, but it seems so difficult to achieve! A big dream so close, but yet so far away. Whether you are still in college or freshly graduated, the earlier you start the process, the better your chances of getting hired are.
I've been in the tech field for 9 years now, and part of it was teaching programming at a college, working with students, and also being a student myself, I clearly see a pattern of how you can become "zero to successful" if you follow a very simple plan. I've mentored countless students as well as junior developers throughout my career. So, what's the plan?
Mentorship.
Personal Projects/Learning
Contributions.
Building a Personal Brand.
Networking.
Mock Interviews.
I'm going to go over these key points into more detail and how you can get started with it. I'll also have plenty of resources to provide for you that will help you with your next steps.
You will gain a lot of knowledge from this session and will feel not only more confident, but you'll feel the fire in your soul to want to make your dreams come true.
Are you ready to get hired?
Interviewing Users: Spinning Data Into GoldSteve Portigal
Interviewing is undeniably one of the most valuable and commonly used user research tools. Yet it's often not used well, because
* It’s based on skills we think we have (talking or even listening)
* It's not taught or reflected on, and
* People tend to "wing it" rather than develop their skills.
Results may be inaccurate or reveal nothing new, suggesting the wrong design or business responses, or they may miss the crucial nuance that points to innovative breakthrough opportunities.
In this day-long session, we'll focus on the importance of rapport-building and listening and look at techniques for both. We will review different types of questions, and why you need to have a range of question types. This session will explore other contextual research methods that can be built on top of interviewing in a seamless way. We'll also suggest practice exercises for improving your own interviewing skills and how to engage others in your organization successfully in the interviewing experience.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

19. UX designers
Ben Melbourne:
UX Designers focus on the structure and layout of
content and how users interact with them. They don’t
normally (but can) try to be perfect from a visual
perspective.
Trip O’Dell:
We solve problems for people with technology or
services.
20. Another way to look at it
Trip O’Dell framed it nicely:
Storyteller
Artisan
21. Storyteller
Radical generalist who is really curious and likes
to engage with stakeholders, users, and develop
a vision:
Empathetic
User-focused
Strategic
Research
22. Artisan
…sweats the details whether it’s the easing in
an animated transition, the polished comp, or
the pixel-perfect CSS and assets that go from
prototype to final shipping product:
Intensely focused
Passionate about craft
23. UX deliverables
Again from Mr. Melbourne:
The types of deliverables they produce include site-maps,
user flows, prototypes and wireframes.
These depend on the problems you’re solving
Activity: If any of these are new to you, write
them in your book
24. Discussion:
Where do you fit?
I fit in research and design
I influence visual design
What interests you?
25. Activity: Get it on paper
Take a minute to write it down:
Where you fit
What interests
you
26. Example: Here’s what I did
Research
Myers-Briggs
Skills Inventory
Overkill?
Maybe
But it reinforced my decision
28. What do recruiters want?
Someone is likely filtering on keywords
Looking for
Experience
Deliverables
Accomplishments
Not surprising…
29. What do recruiters,
managers, & peers want?
Objectivity, openness, and self-awareness
Ability to present ideas clearly and
confidently (good client manner)
Willingness to collaborate and listen to ideas
Ability to speak to the process
