3. User Experience and Experience Design A completely new focus Experience instead of technology, usability and user interface design. User centered design: ask people about the products they’re related and how they feel using your products. A culmination of all these parts into one field Interaction Design. Information Architecture. Human Computer Interaction. Human Factors Engineering. Usability. User Interface Design. A specialized field that deals with the various aspects of a user’s experience.

4. What is User Experience (UX) ? User experience is a much younger profession than its practitioners. The overall experience a user has with some product. Is the sum experience of a user interacting with a product. More than just optmize the information’s position. Reduces the risk through research not assumptions. Focus on Make products useful. Make products findable. Make products usable. Make products valuable. Make products accessible. Make products credible.

5. What is User Experience (UX) ? Usefulness Are you really developing a product that does what people wanna do? Or are you trying to figure out what people wanna do? Discoverability Make the obvious. Can people figure out the right way to get things done? It’s one of that things that really helps people to adopt your product. Usability How easy is your product? Don’t make things hard to use. Simplicity Anything that doesn’t have to be in your product shouldn’t be in your product. Learnability Make the things clear. Don’t make people discover all over again. Predictability The product must to do what users expect and not make them think about.

6. What is Experience Design (XD) ? Experience Experience in mind An approach to creating successful experiences for people in any medium. Changing the target Focused on the quality of the user experience. You have to think a little bit more about why people need your product and how they will interact with it. Transcending the material What really matter is the experience created by the products. The digital camares are so popular because people like to register and pass their experiences. Design a product is a dialog: Why? Product What? How?

7. The User Experience Team The User Experience team should be a mix of people with different skills and educations, once there’s no formal academic preparation. Information Architect (IA) Its goal is to create a system that will provide useful information to suit the user’s need. Sysytem structure, inputs and outputs of information and semantic analysis are in its domain. Interaction Design (IxD) Its goal goes beyond making interfaces relevant and usable. Works to breathe life to user interface, defining the way it’s manipulated by the user. A successful information architecture depends on the quality of the user experience provided by the interaction design. Graphic Designer Its gols is to translate the concepts visually to convince stakeholders. The graphic designer should be able to converse in terms of company technology (e.g. CSS, HTML, JS, FXG).

8. How are the User Experience and the Development Team related ? A unified team working together, available to help, advise, and figure out goals. Both talk to interested parts in order to understand their needs and goals. Both make the product prototype. Both work in the development phase. Both analyse the test results. Where do we apply these concepts? Research Focus on interested parts, user experience, requirement capture, tasks, and goals. Modeling Focus on experience design, architecture, application design. Development Focus on product development and experience design. Testing Focus on usability testing and acceptance testing.

9. How to Manage the User Experience Team ? During the research phase A information architect working in the user experience. During the modeling phase A interface design working in the experience design A graphic designer working in the accurate mock screens. During the development phase A ghaphic designer and developers working in the product. During the testing phase A information architect and interaction designer analysing the usability tests.

11. Main user experiences issues

12. User interface inconsistencies.

13. Linear shopping experience lacks flexibility.

14. Multiples methods of purchase.

15. Problematic assumptions that buyer is fully informed.

16. Many products and too many diversions in the home page.

17. Proposed solution

18. Simplicity: Simplify to four the stages of user interaction.

19. Learnability: Navigation, tools and style in common shell reduces the learning curve.

20. Usefulness: Allow user to access information when and where they need it.

22. The first prototype was done without any concerns about the user experience and was rejected by stakeholders.

23. Next a user experience team was added to the project and the result was quite different.Before After This product version implements all the required features but doesn’t provide a good user experience. Where is the discoverability, usability, simplicity, learnability? The product now suits the users’ needs. But this lack of planning resulted in a expensive product.

25. Knowing what you’re going to do before you do it can prevent wasted effort and unnecessary detours.

26. It’s not only about the user, but also about how companies benefit through design.

27. You must pay attention to some important considerations:

28. First point: Be Realistic

29. Adjusts the budget, resources and time to the reality; do not try to implement everything users, or clients, want or need.

30. Second point: Be Profitable

31. Calculate and communicate the profitability of your design. Consider sacrificing a quality product in order to promote a profitable one.

32. Third point: Be Professional

34. Increased user productvity, efficiency, and accuracy.

35. Increased product usage and adoption.

36. Decreased support costs.

37. Reduced development time and costs.

38. Create only the features users needs.
