LabLog - How did you get into UX - 0 views

  • At that point I had never heard of user research, but I started wondering why we didn’t talk to our map readers when we were designing new map specs. We spent hours debating the details that we all passionately cared about – for example, icon design or the extent of a map’s coverage – but if you asked, we wouldn’t have been sure if it mattered to anyone else but us.

Getting From User Stories to UX | JamieClouting.co.uk - 0 views

  •  
    "Recently I wrote about User Stories and how card based software development can help identify 'clear, brief descriptions of functionality as described from the perspective of a user'. Today I want to look at how User Stories or 'Stories' can impact the user interface (UI) design and user experience (UX) of a software product."

Guess What?!? Task Design is Critically Important! - A hard-learned lesson » ... - 0 views

  •  
    "Hey Spool, Mike and Steve, Nice post! Krug's Rocket Surgery book where I learned about developing good tasks. Basically, he says to test the participants interaction with the site not their ability to read. "buy a bookcase" tests the participants ability to read and, in this case search. That's not bad! It gets at the usability / mechanical functionality of a site. But, you don't need to go through the trouble to recruit users to collect this type of data. Anyone hanging around the hallway will do. However, if you want to dig down to the other parts of the experience (findable, desirable, Morville's honeycomb types), then a more authentic, believable, contextual task is important. By changing the directive command - "Find a bookcase" - to a more contextual based question - "How would you do that?" - you were able to get a different and possibly more insightful / actionable result. As a matter of fact, from now on, I'm using this format for all my user tests. Done and Done, Mr. Spool. @Mike - (A/B) test your (user) test? I smell recursion and an out of memory error. :) cheers! newman"

How Much Should You Spend on User Testing? | A Better User Experience - 0 views

  • But seriously, what’s it going to cost me?
    • Newman Lanier
       
      It does seem that when business owners aren't knowledgable about a tool or service, they just want to know what it will cost them. That's fine. Money is our 'lowest common denominator'. It's the medium of exchange. Our currentcy. Business owners want to know about price. We, UX'ers, want to talk about value. Value is price over utility. If the price is zero, then whatever the ulitilty, the thing will be worth it.

6 Ways You Make Bad Meetings Worse (And What To Do About It) | A Better User Experience - 0 views

  • participants never understand things quite the way you do.
    • Newman Lanier
       
      I think the big point here is that no one (No way, not never) will understand somethign the same way you. How much mutual understanding is necessary to gain consensus and to complete the project? While maintaining high standards...
  • Instead, work to clarify your language. Be precise. And be patient.
    • Newman Lanier
       
      I see the Plug-in ideas as an issue of language. You must let everyone know what language you are sending your signal. It's important to know what language others are hearing and / or listening for... I guess a BIG PROBLEM is to switch languages all the time, cause then no one knnows how to translate 'the words coming out of your mouth'. Advice, pick a language and stick with it.
  • We have to actively lower the stress and anxiety. And the only way to do that is to empathize with the others in the meeting.
    • Newman Lanier
       
      The first step - GI Joe says "Now you know and Knowing is half the battle". Self awareness and awareness of the emotions of other is key to managing the atmosphere of a room or meeting.
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • The best meetings are those where the egos fade away and the content of the meeting takes center stage
    • Newman Lanier
       
      here is my bit about ego and battles. I think it's the only thing that people know. It's the greatest story ever told - but it's seems like the ONLY story ever told. Why the conflict? Why the struggle? Perhaps it's hard-wired into the brain. Perhaps we're doomed repeat the hero worship / evil tyrannt cycle of a two party system.
  • Your designer acts like he’s got PTSD.
    • Newman Lanier
       
      http://www.webmd.com/anxiety-panic/guide/post-traumatic-stress-disorder - Web MD on PTSD. Can emotional abuse cause PTSD? Have designers ever been physically abused? I think there is definite emotional abuse is some organizations. Of course, I think my dehumanizing systems of work and school are abusive, IMHO.
  • In a meeting full of werewolves, this lack of confidence can be interpreted as weakness.
    • Newman Lanier
       
      This might makes right mentality and mis-trust of difference / diversity is right to the core of design meeting suckiness.
  • Werewolf Design Meeting into the Strategically Driven Design Meeting.
    • Newman Lanier
       
      An idea - let's make sure that everyone in the meeting gets the plug-in. This would set the language and goal of the meeting. Are we doing an "everyone shutup and get to the end" style of meeting? Are we doing the "Boss tirade"? "Battle Royale"? Let me know beforehand so I can get ready...
