Code with Empathy: UX for Engineers and UX DevelopersAnita Cheng
User experience is a hot field, but still very new for many tech companies. Let’s face it, the companies who can devote the resources for a robust UX process are few and far between! Software developers often find themselves making design decisions by necessity, which ends up complicating the product lifecycle down the road. So what can developers learn right now to improve the usability and delight of their products?

Lean UX + UX Strat, from UX Strat conference, September 2013Joshua Seiden
Slides from my talk at UX Strat, 2013. (www.uxstrat.com)
How to use Lean UX methods to execute on business, product, and design strategy.
I presented a slightly altered version a few days later at Fluxible 2013. (http://www.fluxible.ca)
This document summarizes a presentation about the importance of user experience (UX) design. It argues that UX design is crucial for developing successful products and should be a core competency of product teams. It outlines best practices for UX design including conducting user research, creating prototypes, testing ideas with users, and iterating based on feedback. The presentation also discusses how to make the case for prioritizing UX design to CEOs, product managers, and UX teams themselves.
MVP: Minimum Viable Product vs. Maximum Value Product with Adam SmithFITC
This document discusses the differences between a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) and a Maximum Value Product (MVP). It argues that while an MVP aims to validate solutions and ideas quickly through market testing, this can result in incomplete or flawed products. A Maximum Value Product instead focuses on deeply understanding user problems and building exceptional solutions to a few core problems, even if it means delaying launch or removing features. By aiming for quality over speed, a Maximum Value Product can deliver more lasting value and success.
Are you ready to build an MVP? Where do you start? How do you know what features to build? How do you know how many people you need to build it? How do you know that they are building a right thing in a right way? This presentation and conversation will explore strategies for assembling effective teams for building and deploying an MVP while incurring minimal Product and Technical Debt. We will also discuss implementing an effective process to make sure that your MVP will be built on time and on target.
The document discusses building a minimum viable product (MVP) for a project idea. It provides examples of MVPs for Facebook, Dropbox, and Zappos and explains how they tested hypotheses with very simple initial products. The meeting's agenda is then to understand lean startup methodology and MVPs, see examples, and use story mapping to define an MVP for a semester project. Story mapping is introduced as a technique to replace feature lists with a two-dimensional map focusing on user activities and vision. Attendees will work in groups to define an MVP for a project helping users find and share healthy recipes.
The minimum viable product (MVP) is the minimum set of features needed to learn from early adopters and avoid building products that nobody wants. It maximizes learning per dollar spent and is probably much more minimum than you think. An MVP allows achieving a big vision in small increments through iteration without going in circles chasing what customers think they want. The unit of progress is validated learning about customers through techniques like smoke testing landing pages, in-product split testing, and customer discovery to minimize the total time in the build-measure-learn loop.
I'll gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today: Managing UX DebtJack Moffett
The document discusses managing UX (user experience) debt, which refers to design decisions that negatively impact users. It identifies common sources of UX debt such as acquisitions, outsourcing, neglect, and intentional vs unintentional mistakes. The document provides strategies for identifying UX debt through active awareness, inventorying, and exposing teams to users. It also discusses classifying and prioritizing debt, and addressing it through bankruptcy, do-overs, or phased approaches. Avoiding debt requires research, attention to detail, modularity, and documentation.
The document discusses building minimum viable products (MVPs). It defines an MVP and explains the Kano model for classifying product features. It then provides guidance on designing an MVP experiment by identifying what is being tested, what data to collect, and what determines success. The document outlines a process for building an MVP, including prioritizing basic, performance and exciting features. It also discusses building granular MVPs at the feature, epic, story and task levels before pruning a product tree to the core MVP.

Startupfest 2016: JONATHAN BIXBY (Stanley Park Ventures) - How toStartupfest
How to create and measure passion in your company -
Every startup has the potential for world-changing impact. Your role as a leader is to foster passion that impacts anyone who touches your business and to keep that passion alive by reinforcing it every day.
Today the challenge for leaders is that there is no formal management theory for how to build, leverage, and measure the level of passion in your employees. It essentially falls into that ambiguous category of “you’ll know it when you see it.”
This session will take a deep analytical look at creating and measuring your corporate passion. Passion is contagious and this session will discuss effective ways to bottle it, infect your employees/customers/investors and ultimately how to use passion as a sustainable corporate differentiator.
BugRaptors perform Cookie testing to ensure the security of the website and application to be tested. Cookies are small information stored in text file on user’s hard drive by web server. BugRaptors perform cookie manipulation using various techniques.

Examples highlighted include Microsoft's extensive usability testing for Halo 3 that helped identify and address user frustrations.
The document discusses usability testing and its benefits. It defines usability testing as involving end users trying to complete specific tasks to provide feedback during software development. This identifies issues and ensures designs match how users think about tasks. Usability testing is most effective early in development when changes are cheaper. It improves user efficiency, satisfaction and conversion rates.
ProductTank: What do UX people want from PMs and how can they best work toget...Mind the Product
Jesmond Allen introduces himself as the UX Director at cxpartners and discusses how product managers (PMs) and UX designers can best work together. While their roles overlap in understanding users and requirements, UX focuses on design while PMs focus on the product vision and roadmap. For effective collaboration, UX designers should ask questions to fully understand the project brief and deadlines, while PMs should provide clear goals, share existing research, and communicate regularly with stakeholders. The key is open communication between PMs and UX designers.
Steve Krug: Lazy Person's Guide to a Better World - UX Lisbon 2010Steve Krug
The document summarizes the key principles of the "Lazy Person's Guide to a Better World" approach to usability testing and problem-solving. The approach recommends focusing ruthlessly on fixing the most serious usability problems observed, rather than getting distracted by less important issues or complete redesigns. It also advocates doing the least amount of work needed to solve problems. Specific techniques include instructing observers to note the top three problems, prioritizing problems during debriefing sessions, and tweaking interfaces rather than redesigning them from scratch. The overall goal is to improve usability while expending minimal resources.

Usability: whats the use? Presented by We are Sigma and PRWDNexer Digital
For websites, good usability is a matter of survival. If a website is difficult to use, people leave. If the homepage fails to clearly state what a company offers and what users can do on the site, people leave. If users get lost on a website, they leave. For intranets and applications the question is one of productivity. In many organisations employees waste inordinate amounts of time searching for and assimilating the information they need to do their jobs. This lost time has a real, tangible value so ROI for designing internal systems with User Experience in mind, and spending some time testing and improving the usability of the system, is pretty compelling.
As people with a strong User Experience focus we don’t need to be convinced of the value of good usability, but for many companies who are thinking of revamping their site, intranet or portal it isn’t quite so clear cut.

Early Signal Testing: Designing Atlassian’s New LookAtlassian
You probably have noticed the new look of Atlassian's Cloud products. Our new Design Guidelines took many months to create, and our team had many tough decisions to make. Luckily, we incorporated customer research along the way to guide us.
One of our most valuable research tools is called “early signal testing”, and we think it can help you too. Early signal testing can help you gain confidence in a direction, rather than being paralyzed by a choice. It can help assess your design's usability, clarity, comprehension, and more. This talk explains how your team can gather measurable user feedback in as little as a week, for even the very biggest of problems.
Most organizations test their products and services as part of their UX design process, but many of them dismiss the most impactful results. Project teams often lack the flexibility to deal with test results, and decision-makers don't believe that those results need to be dealt with. This introduces unnecessary risk to the user experience and success of any product or service.

The best way to improve products is to have people use them, but researchers struggle to share what they’ve learned in a way that has immediate and long-lasting impact. How do we keep the design process moving while grounding it thoroughly in research? This talk will present evidence for and against reports, and explore characteristics of reports that make them more and less successful at effecting change. We will describe where approaches like debriefs, co-design, and video have succeeded and fallen short. Based on survey data from UX practitioners and experiences in the field, we’ll address these questions: Is it worth it to write a report? Are there quicker, more engaging alternatives? What makes a compelling report? How do we make usability research usable? We’ll offer a framework for choosing the best reporting approach, and share best practices for determining what to communicate, and how.

The document discusses techniques for developing minimum viable products (MVPs) and continuously testing and improving apps, services, and ideas. It recommends brainstorming critical features, prototyping an MVP focused on viability, and using A/B testing both during and after development to improve conversions and user experience over time. An example is given of an augmented reality app called Chatterbucks that was successfully launched in 4 weeks using these techniques instead of 6-12 months for a more fully-featured initial version.

Speakers: Jim Thomson; Product Manager, Pivotal. Alex Basson; iOS Developer, Pivotal. Josh Franklin; Product Designer, Pivotal
Have you been the engineer blocked on shipping a feature because you were waiting on Design to "figure it out"? Or wondered why you’re building a particular feature, or have your own ideas for the product vision? Have you been the designer who spent days designing an interaction only to find out it couldn't be built, or the PM trying to bridge the divide? It's time to take down those silo walls! Josh Franklin, Alex Basson, and Jim Thomson – a designer, an engineer, and a PM, respectively, will give a "Balanced Talk" on their successes and failures building the Small Token iOS app, and share the tactics they used to stay aligned as an Agile team and continuously learn from each other. Extended Description On traditional product teams, engineering, business, and design often sit in their own, walled-off silos.The “business” (usually a product owner) generally defines large swaths of requirements, chucks them over a wall to designers, who chuck designs back to the business, who package it up and chuck it over to the developers and ask how long it’ll take to deliver. They request features and designs with no regard to implementation, and engineers don’t have any input or view into the “what” or “why” of product and design decisions. There’s a better way! At Pivotal, we form “Balanced Teams,” made up of developers, a product manager, and a designer. For many reasons, a Balanced Team leads to better products and happier team members. In this talk, a balanced team of Engineer, Designer, and PM use real-world examples from our work on Small Token, a charitable giving iOS app, to illustrate specific advantages of working as a balanced team. We show how our practice here at Pivotal contrasts to a “traditional” product development cycle - and why it works. We expect the audience to learn techniques they can take home to their own product teams. They will be better empowered to evangelize for, and fully take advantage of, Agile principles. Specifically, engineers in the audience will learn that they can have an important voice in the direction of a product.
Denver Startup Week: Product Management from the TrenchesSean Porter
This document summarizes a presentation on product management and engineering relationships. It discusses establishing trust between the teams through clear expectations around commitments, responsibilities, and priorities. Specifically, it outlines that product management is responsible for what is built, the desired user experience and priorities, while engineering determines how it is built and the technologies used. Maintaining open communication and establishing accountability helps avoid dysfunctions that can hurt productivity and results.

What's with Apple's latest iPhone ads? UserTesting
- Apple's latest iPhone ads seem to be targeted at Gen Z, who are buying their first phones, by showing modes of use and functions that would appeal to younger people.
- The study found that current phone platform preference was more important than age in how people responded to the ads. People are very brand loyal and the ads did not persuade Android users to switch.
- iPhone users did not feel more inclined to upgrade, while older participants felt the ads were not directed at them.
- Apple's ad strategy appears to be to capture customers young by showing features that resonate with a hip, creative, fun approach to appeal to younger demographics.

How human insights focused organizations become CX leaders UserTesting
This document discusses how human insights focused organizations become customer experience (CX) leaders. It argues that embracing qualitative research methods ("thick data") and promoting a research mindset throughout the organization allows companies to better understand customers. This helps drive more customer-centric strategic decisions and product design. While qualitative research can provide valuable insights, tools like UserTesting make it easier for more roles beyond just researchers to gather feedback and insights directly from customers. This "democratization" of research allows researchers to focus on higher-level strategic questions while still maintaining data quality. Overall, taking a more human insights led approach helps companies make better informed decisions that improve the customer experience.
The Banking Mobile CX Index: Insights to improve the mobile banking experienceUserTesting
This document summarizes the findings of a study comparing the mobile banking experiences of Bank of America, Chase, and Wells Fargo. Key findings include:
1. Transferring money between accounts was the easiest task for all banks. Bank of America had the highest overall ratings.
2. Setting fraud alerts was the most difficult task, with options hard to find on some apps. This represents a big opportunity for improvement.
3. While all apps were rated highly for aesthetics, delighting users by exceeding expectations remains a challenge.
4. Individual bank strengths included Bank of America's speed and Chase's branding. Not providing statements in the Wells Fargo app significantly lowered ratings.
