This is a short description of my work methods and my way of doing UX. I try to follow a certain process, which have been proven to be successful during the projects.
I utilize wireframing tools to plan screens & flows. Working systematically with my process, I've also gained experience in maintaining and improving an existing UI.
2. User Experience (UX)
is a term for a user's
overall satisfaction level
when using your product
or system. If it's a good
experience, the users
are happy. If it's a bad
experience, your
customers won’t come
back.
3. “The rule of thumb in many
usability-aware organizations
is that the cost benefit ratio
for usability is $1 : $10–$100”
(Gilb, 1988)
The cost of fixing an error
after development is 100
times that of fixing it before
the development of the
project is completed
(Pressman, 1992)
4. “It has been found that 80%
of software life cycle costs
occur during the maintenance
phase, and were associated
with ‘unmet or unforeseen’
user requirements and other
usability problems”
(Nielsen, 1993)
5. Defining Business Goals
Formulating a concise list of
project objectives
Persona Profiling
Creating target audience
documents. Analysis of
demographic and
psychological characteristics
of the users
6. Writing Use Cases
Describing user journeys, and
sometimes drawing a story
board, depending on the
project ecosystem
Creating a Feature List
Prioritizing the features after
careful consideration in both
client’s needs and users’
needs
7. Structuring a Site Map
A schematic description of
hierarchies and connections
between pages
Sketching
Drawing a low fidelity model
of the screen layout and
exploring design alternatives
8. Prototyping
Creating a digital mock up of
the main modules within the
site/application
Concept Meeting
Presenting the user
experience values and core
solution to the client
9. Detailed Design
Creating a digital mock up of
all the screens within the
site/application
Usability Testing
Performing a test session,
and conducting analysis of
results. This is done
independently of the other
stages, and only when it fits
project needs

Miranda – 42 Year Old Branch Manager from Madison, WI
“Cut to the chase, will you? I haven't got
all day…”
Personal Background
Miranda is a cut to the chase person. She is married (Russ) and has two daughters ages 12 (Sydney) and 5 (Ashly).
Like in the office, she likes being in control and wants to know what they are doing. She won't forget to phone home
and ask the nanny what they ate for launch.
Since downtime is truly a luxury for Miranda, she likes to spoil herself in fancy restaurants when she goes out with
her friends. She used to be a wild type in her youth, and even in college, but those days are all over, and now she
has settled down. She considers herself as a serious career woman, and likes to brag about it with her friends. She
has a very stressful daily routine, full of office assignments and scheduled meeting. Sometimes she gets home at
evening, realizing she haven’t eaten launch at all. Things hasn't been too well with Russ lately. They both have a
busy schedule, and they hardly ever spend some quality time together. She thinks they both need a long vacation
together, but is occupied with an upcoming quarterly review on her branch.
Miranda is very informed in computers and high-tech. She believes in the digital age and would happily accept new
software to make her life at the office easier. She will adopt any kind of advanced technology to have more control
over her life (and her husband's too).

Ronny is

arguing which

best check list
for packing.
On the flight, he
checks weather
forecast, trip
maps, and finds
out where is the
pub in the sky
resort.
The guys are
uploading tons
of pictures. He
asks if
someone has a

famous back

Still in contact
with all the guys
at the group.
