User experience (UX) design should be incorporated into all projects, regardless of size. For small projects, UX design can be informal through visualization and user feedback. Mid-sized projects benefit from clickable wireframes, weekly workshops, and just-in-time UX design. Large projects require design authority, regular UX meetings, proximity within teams, and high-fidelity simulations. Across all projects, the key is to quickly visualize and validate ideas through iteration and user involvement. UX design is not a separate role but a shared responsibility of the entire team.
13. The road to a successful UX Project
• Business value is key!
• It is not free
• Quickly visualize and validate
• Agile / Iterations
• There is no I in team
15. Envision your product
Do just what is needed to communicate and
validate your idea’s before development
16. Mid size project lessons learned
• Clickable wireframes
• UI Workshops every week to validate ideas
• Developer feedback during UX design
• Just in time UX design for the details
• Whole team must share knowledge
• Open up the design process
17. Then what about small projects?
• Visualize! (Especially now)
• Maintain the user feedback loop
• Get expert review
• Keep it small and informal
18. Big projects
• Some form of design authority is needed
• Regular UX meetings are needed
• Team should work close to each other
• Work with interaction pattern library
• High fidelity simulations
19. Recap
• Visualise and validate your idea’s asap
• Iterate (build, measure, learn)
• Involve end user as much as possible
• Teams create a great UX
• Accept “UX debt” in your project
• Create an environment where you can share
UX knowledge
20. In the future
• A whole team is fully aware of UX
• There will be no more UX design role…
• More specific type of front-end developers in
your team.
One more question...
