We will present a case study that details our approach for replacing user personas with user roles for a multi-national SAAS company. We will take the audience on a journey that starts with an executive request for personas, travels through the tribulations of realizing personas suck, and concludes with convincing others to accept a new and innovative way to understand the people who use the product. Our key message is that personas lack real value for organizations that already understand the importance of empathizing with users. Building user-centered products requires easily accessible and well organized user insights. We will discuss defining users through a process of stakeholder consultation and content review, and structuring data around Jobs to Be Done and product interactions. We will also discuss the dissemination of user roles in our organization using relational databases, interactive dashboards and online wikis. Spoiler alert, our stakeholders loved user roles!

Agile Methodology refers to software design and development methodologies centered around the idea of iterative design and development, where requirements and concepts evolve through collaboration between self-organizing cross-functional teams. Thus, Agile enables teams to deliver value faster, with greater quality and predictability, and greater aptitude to respond to change. With evolving product features every design sprint, designers & researchers find it difficult to follow the design process. This sometimes leads to designs delivered in haste or sub-par design artifacts which result in UX debt. UX debt is accumulated when design teams take actions or shortcuts to expedite the delivery of a piece of functionality or a project which later needs to be refactored. It is the result of prioritizing speedy delivery of design to the development team over a perfect experience journey. Experience Maps is a great tool to practice UX in Agile as well as manage UX Debt.

How to build a UX Department from scratch, in an environment they think UX people do social media posters and posts! An agile implementation just started, and people are moving from a waterfall and ad-hoc mindset to agility. In this session, I will talk about my Journey to establish a UX Department for a company that is part of a global brand, but this local branch just started the digital transformation movement. Challenges like: spreading awareness and educating people about UX, hiring the right team, defining the right team structure, establishing workflow and day-to-day operations, and applying localization (non-western culture).

I started my current job in March of 2020. Many of us remember something clearly about the month that COVID started to shut things down. I remember being surprised to hear that my new on-site-only job would be starting in my living room over zoom. How do you lead a design team when none of the team members live near each other and creativity is highly collaborative? Taking from over a decade of working in HR software, I knew whatever I did needed to put people first. That what employees love about a job is often deeper than the work, it’s the culture, the relationships and people they work with. It’s the feeling that their work has value, and their contribution matters. In this talk I will walk though some of the rituals and best practices I have learned over the last two years building a remote-first creative team.

As humans, we are biased by design. Our intricate and fascinating brains have developed shortcuts through centuries of human evolution. They reduce an unimaginable load of paralyzing decisions, keep us alive, and help us navigate this complex world. Now, these life saving biases affect how we behave with modern technology. Understanding some of the theories and reasons why these biases exist is the key to unlocking their power. In this workshop we will cover some theories around how the brain works. We will review some of our mental shortcuts, take a look at some common biases, and learn how they affect our users, our research, and our designs. Lastly we will review some advantages of biases, and ways to identify and reduce bias. This workshop is targeted for designers who do their own research, and researchers looking to learn more about removing bias from their studies.

Are you new to UX management, or thinking of getting into management? Then this talk is for you. After reading countless books, attending countless trainings, mentoring and being menteed, nothing quite prepared me for management like my first year. I’ll share with you what I wish they’d told me. I’ll also share my process for generating team research roadmaps, establishing team values, keeping employees motivated, and not burning out.

Join us for an interaction design case study from the automotive industry. We created a Human-Machine Interface (HMI) for a vehicle feature that provides household-levels of power in electrical outlets for our customers to use at work and play. This case study will reveal: · Our debate of re-using version 1.0’s HMI vs designing a new user interface for the electric vehicle—when to break with consistency and why? · User research we conducted to guide our early design concept. · Paper prototypes we created to support our usability testing of the concept with vehicle owners. · How we solved internal debate over the interaction design in moving from internal combustion vehicles to electric vehicles. * Advice to help you evangelize user-centered design that is also brand-centered for a new product.

Ensuring the end product is inclusive can be a challenge, but so can also be the process that was used to design it. How do we make sure that design is just and that people and communities are not inadvertently harmed, on the basis of aspects such as age, background, gender, and race, in the design process by the choices we make as designers? How do we do this especially for new innovative technologies, which we might not know much about? In this session, the speaker will review the common pitfalls of typical design research and development. Then, the speaker will walk through a framework for better design work that is more inclusive and minimizes potential social harm.

There is a single universal journey common to all experiences we have. Understanding the journey, its two universal outcomes and two universal variables, streamlines (without oversimplifying) the entire UX process. It aligns with how we experience everything. In this session I will: Introduce The 4 Stages of Accomplishing Goals – the model that details the universal journey. Cover the two unavoidable universal outcome. Cover the two universal variables that have the most impact on how people feel when the experience is over. Share The 4 Stages of Accomplishing Goals Canvas to use throughout your design process, and how it works within and along your exist practices. Share how it works with tools and methodologies like Jobs To Be Done (JTBD), Kano Model, Change Management, Root Cause Analysis, behavioral models and more. This session connects design psychology, strategy, and practical tools for immediate use.

Our research program was going great – happy clients, engaged team – and we were feeling good. Then, overnight, our passionate new leadership challenged us to enact user testing for ALL external facing products, services, and even policy proposals. Unlike many execs, this one has a strong background in UX and described, in detail, the results they wanted to see: Test everything! Reinvent approvals! Have clients do their own testing! No new resources were given, and the deadline was always two weeks ago. While this change affected the entire organization, a lot of the details fell to our small team. This is the story of how we dealt with a seismic change over a few intense months, and the lessons we learned along the way. We had to quickly iterate on how we thought about work, evaluated it, staffed it and who our partners were.

It is well acknowledged that design systems are crucial in ensuring rapid brand scalability, consistency, and cohesiveness. Thinking in systems and strategically is now a required skill. In this presentation, we want to present our journey in implementing our design system, including the difficulties we encountered, but mostly by reviewing it from a strategic and business perspective. We will not delve into the basics of a design system, but rather explain how to get buy-in from the leadership by turning our design system into a business need. Our decisions have all been mostly based on the results and findings obtained from our qualitative and quantitative data. We believe that nowadays design should be data-driven, and first and foremost our design system.

Panelists from multiple industries and experiences will share perspectives on how ethics and business politics can impact UX research and design. It’s a big topic, but we hope to touch the surface of a broad range of situations and context. Ideally, corporate ethics should require permission and transparency around data mining practices and product design, and opt in and permissions should be clear and avoid the use of dark patterns, however, we have all encountered situations where this is not the case. Additionally, business politics can worm their way into UX decisions, influencing not only what research is done, but also how it is disseminated and used. Further, protection of participants’ rights and privacy is a key concern, as well as practices around representation and inclusion. We will share stories about our experiences across all these dimensions, our thoughts on best practices, and facilitate an audience discussion via Sli.do.

You put a lot of effort into your design, tested it, and users seemed to like it – but after release your product flops, and no one is using it. It’s happened to most of us at least once, and it can be devastating. Understanding why seemingly good designs fail can help us recover from these types of misses or, even better, prevent them in the first place. This presentation will examine some common causes for design failures, using examples and stories from more than 15 years of experience in UX design.

The need for increased security across application development has exploded in recent years, due to the increase in data breaches and associated costs. The challenge of combining UX design and Agile methodologies to develop more secure applications while balancing great user experiences has led to a backlog of vulnerabilities that often overwhelms development and security teams’ ability to fix them in a timely manner. Attendees will learn about design and security challenges, lessons learned, and best practices in designing more secure applications in an agile development environment. They will also learn how to best integrate security into agile and user experience early on using prototypes from past projects and a security marketplace, that was created for downloading security stories into your project management backlog. They will also learn about the user feedback we collected on the security marketplace and how it helped improve security and user experience.

An improved hiring process would benefit most UX teams, but hiring managers have much to consider when deciding how to interview UXR candidates. How many stages of interviews? What are the best activities at each stage? Should we do portfolio reviews, take-home projects, neither, or both? How long should the process take? The interview process is critical to all involved; hiring managers need an approach that accurately assesses a candidate’s skills, and candidates need an opportunity to demonstrate their experience that respects their time. In this presentation, we will review data collected from UXR job-seekers and hiring managers, inspect trends and attitudes of both groups, present an illustrative overview of the “average” UXR interview process, and discuss the implications our findings have for your team.
