Presented 6 & 8 January, 2013 at Kauffman Labs, Kansas City, Missouri Many big, successful companies hire User Experience experts to help analyze and design the system from the user's point of view, and assure their users can use their digital products. But assuming you can't hire one of those yet, Steven Hoober will teach you a little about how to embed the principles of UX into everything you do, every day, and how to improve tasks you are already doing to better guarantee the right outcomes. There will be a focus on mobile and multi-channel experiences, but the principles willapply to any digital platform. Whether you are trying to just improve the website for your product, or create an all-new, all-digital experience, come — and bring your whole team — to put these principles into practice. Jan 6th, 6pm-8pm What is UX, why it's not just colors and fonts, and why designing for experience matters. Understanding your audience, their goals, and yours. Ecosystem design. A website is not a digital strategy: finding what your experience strategy is. Jan 8th, 6pm-8pm Formalizing baseline analysis with heuristic evaluations. Tactics for discount usability testing in a multi-device world. What you should bring: Paper Ticket for the class Something to work on. I will provide you with a fake project for the exercises, but if you are willing to let others see your idea, or some subset or faked version of it, then go ahead. Your whole team. We will mix and match and you can meet new people, but bring everyone in your company or department if they have the time. If you want, your actual team can be a workshop team so you get used to the tactics being taught.

First, find out:
• What is your audience?• What are their goals?• What are they using now to
solve this need?• What goals does your
organization have?
9
Nothing.
10
Don’t design for yourself.
11
Defining your audience:
• It is never “everyone.”• Be specific.• Avoid demographics. • Tasks, goals, behaviors.
12
Defining your audience…
13
User centered design.

KJ (Post-It®) Process:
• Determine focus questions• Get in a room• Answer questions• Put up answers• Group answers, label groups• Vote on most important groups
15
Focus Questions:
• What is the product?• What is it’s one main purpose? • What one problem does it solve?• Who will use the product?
16
Learn what you know.
17
KJ (Post-It®) Exercise:
• “What one problem does it solve?”
• Put up answers• Group answers (draw a circle)• Label groups (write the label)• Pick the top three groups

An app is not a mobile strategy.

Post It® notes.
22
Don’t build a website (or app):
• Where are the users?• How are they distracted?• How else can they get the task
done?• Will users automatically come
back, or do you have to re-engage them?
23
What channel are you missing?
24
Solve these problems.
25
Which channel?
• Where are the users?• How are they distracted?• How else can they get the task
done?• Will users automatically come
back, or do you have to re-engage them?
