But it’s basically this
12. “MOBILE WILL ULTIMATELY BE THE WAY
YOU PROVISION MOST OF YOUR SERVICES.
THE WAY I LIKE TO PUT IT IS, THE ANSWER
SHOULD ALWAYS BE MOBILE FIRST. YOU
SHOULD ALWAYS PUT YOUR BEST TEAM ON
YOUR MOBILE APP.”
- ERIC SCHMIDT (2010), EXECUTIVE CHAIRMAN OF ALPHABET INC
(READ)
I don’t agree with this blanket approach…
BUT is is often the approach (CLICK)
13. THE STORY
USER FIRST, MOBILE SECOND
▸ ‘Mobile first’ often default approach
▸ How does the user consume your content?
▸ What is the most appropriate platform?
▸ When is ‘Mobile first’ acceptable?
▸ Even when the evidence proves otherwise?
▸ Tips and stuff to think about 1
2
MOBILE FIRST - because “Everyone is on their mobile”
BUT have to think about above
Will cover SOME of this now
Most RECENT mobile project was…
14. FREQ
CLIENT - Global (HEART, CAPITAL, RADIO X, CLASSIC etc)
PROJECT ‘FREQ'
PRONOUNCED ‘Freak’
YOU’RE probably ASKING - Where did the name come from?
(CLICK)
16. FREQ
THE PROBLEM
Presenters read ON AIR promos (eg; Coca-cola)
This is broadcast live to your RADIO (CLICK)
PROVE to advertisers
Listen AGAIN
NOTE down mentions
RECORD mentions
EMAIL it to advertisers
MAKE MONEY (CLICK)
18. FREQ
THE BRIEF
▸ Replace manual process
▸ Simple to use
▸ Use new technology
▸ Build it ‘Mobile First’
▸ Replace humans with robots
MANUAL process - LOOOOOOOOOOONG (3+ hours)
Make it SIMPLE
What can we ACHIEVE with NEW TECH
MOBILE FIRST
20. Because…
Show INNOVATION
Show FUTURE THINKING
Not a TECH reason
Not a USER reason
but a BUSINESS reason
…. and that’s OKAY TOO (sometimes)!
WHAT did we BUILD? (CLICK)
22. In FACT we built it RESPONSIVE
So you could ARGUE not TECHNICALLY ‘MOBILE FIRST’ at all
DESKTOP UNDER THE RADAR… (CLICK)
23. SERIOUSLY, I’M NOT A NINJA
Like a NINJA!
(CLICK)
Some UNEXPECTED results…
24. THE LONG TAIL
The STORY of FREQ doesn’t end there…
ACTUALLY Extended past initial brief (CLICK)
25. PRODUCERS use FREQ to check PAST show content
PRESENTERS use it to follow up on past shows (what did I say!?)
FUTURE - Inserting ADS based on LIVE on-air discussions!
26. PLATFORM FIRST
MOBILE is a PLATFORM
Aside from BUSINESS REASONS
Would you EVER pick that FIRST?
Imagine I work for an EVENTS company…
27. PLATFORM FIRST
FICTICIOUS BRIEF!
▸ Organise a party
▸ Somewhere amazing
▸ Once in a lifetime experience
▸ Fantastic food
▸ Exceptional scenery
▸ ‘Instagrammable’ (obvs)
I GET this BRIEF (read)
And imagine I think PLATFORM FIRST
I have the PERFECT location!!
30. “You shouldn’t start with the Spotify model. Spotify didn’t
start with the Spotify model.
You shouldn’t start with Scrum. Scrum didn’t start with Scrum.
You should start by identifying what you want to improve,
and introduce constraints that force the improvement.”
- Dan North (@tastapod)
This quote from DAN NORTH talks to this a BIT
(READ)
PLATFORM is a CONSTRAINT
APPLY that after you know the REQUIREMENTS
32. MANY things, but for MOBILE…
User LOCATION
App CORE FUNCTION
USER NEEDS
What be be ACHIEVED that is not better served on DESKTOP?
Why will LIFE be BETTER with the MOBILE app?
34. “JUST ONE
MORE THING”
Ask QUESTIONS
Find out USER NEEDS
DIVE DEEP
Make sure you ask WHY
REASONS behind a REQUIREMENT
ALWAYS ask “Just one more thing” (CLICK)
That can be the MOST IMPORTANT
What ELSE can you do….? (CLICK)
35. STAKEHOLDER INTERVIEWS
WORKSHOPS
QUANTITIVE RESEARCH
QUALITATIVE RESEARCH
GUERILLA TESTING
USER TESTING
FIELD STUDIES
PERSONA BUILDING
JOURNEY MAPPING
PROTOYPING TASK ANALYSIS
CARD SORTING
BENCHMARK TESTING
WRITE USER STORIES
USER RESEARCH
Clearly LOADS we could talk about
Let’s FOCUS ON…
38. USER RESEARCH
COFFEE SHOP TESTING
▸ Buy someone a coffee
▸ People (normally) like to help
▸ Ask their opinion
▸ Define goals
▸ Keep quiet (let them talk)
▸ Thank them
▸ Keep your coffee intake in check!
My FAVOURITE
TALK ‘one-on-one’ with REAL people
RELAXED
Helps PROVE some ASSUMPTIONS (and disprove others)
You are often TOO CLOSE to the SOLUTION
Are SURVEYS not better? (CLICK)
39. USER RESEARCH
SURVEYS: A STUDY WITH JAM
THEY ALSO CONDUCTED A SURVEY.
WOULD YOU PREFER TO CHOOSE
FROM 6 OR 30 TYPES OF JAM?
UNANIMOUSLY PEOPLE SAID 30!
ON ALTERNATE SATURDAYS
6 OR 30 JAMS WERE SOLD.
ON WHICH DAY DID THEY SELL MORE?
WHEN THERE WERE 6 TO CHOOSE FROM
SURVEYS ARE NOT ALWAYS
AN INDICATOR OF BEHAVIOUR
COURTESY OF JOE LEECH (@MRJOE)
Surveys CAN be good
BUT not conclusive… (CLICK)
(READ)
WHAT does this PROVE?
BE CAREFUL about how you research
You might THINK you’d get the SAME answer
40. WHAT WAS HE ON
ABOUT?
“I DUNNO, I WAS TOO DISTRACTED BY HIS TRAINERS!
So, a little SUMMARY
