UX sessions in the beginning
RANDOM
SLOW DEV
FACE TO FACE
LONG SESSIONS
Irregular user feedback
Lacking more information about our users
Not enough sources for doing more User Centric design
User feedback is not integrated in the product development
The problem …

Solution – Customer Council
Taylor Wescoatt
@twescoatt
Why is the Customer Council a good idea?
1.It reduces the stress of recruiting new users
every time you want to test something.
2.Can build a passionate user base, that
results in:
• A source of valuable information.
• A network that can eventually drive
revenue.
What is a Customer Council?
Group of people who
are actual or potential
consumers
Willing to give advice
in early stages
Valuable, qualitative,
if somewhat biased
feedback

wasn’t familiar with the dataset. He isn’t
exactly sure what we are after.”
Notes from UX session
”This dataset isn't that big so wouldn’t take
more than a couple of days to analyse. She
would analyse it straight away to see if it's
something she could use.”

Hinweis der Redaktion

  1. Data is fragmented in unconnected silos – makes it very difficult to discover data
  2. Many different sources and repositories around the world. Hard to know where to look.
  3. People don’t share their data or communicate what they have. It is siloed in different labs and institutions.
  4. Even if you find the data, hard to get access to it due to ethics around human data and confidentiality.
  5. Our users are generally people who work with genomic data: genomic researchers, bioinformaticians, clinicians.
  6. This is our user base, their main traits.
  7. When I started at Repositive We had a big idea but no product. We knew we want users to be involved in the product development form the beginning. SLOW DEV - The development was slow due the lack of resources and we weren’t sure how we going to build the ‘shit’, what to focus on. RANDOM – Having niche target audience makes difficult to find users for usability testing. FACE TO FACE – the person (potential user) would come to our office and we would show him wireframes on papers. Asking many questions what they thought about designs and and layout. LONG SESSIONS – this sessions took around 1 - 1 ½ hours Random , infrequent users (once every 2 weeks), sporadic Slow development More face to face testing At least 1 hour session PROBLEM Having niche target audience makes difficult to find users for usability testing. In fast development we need to test more often to validate our ideas. Trying to get into our users working environment and understand their current workflow
  8. Having niche target audience makes difficult to find users for usability testing. We still needed better understanding of our users workflow. Needed more direction from users to make sure????? We needed more feedback from users to validate our ideas
  9. Risk of building something people wouldn’t like use.
  10. a group of people who are actual or potential consumers of your product who are willing to give you advice in your early stages. Typically, it’s because they are early adopters and love what you do, and will do it out of the goodness of their heart (think open-source). This is qualitative feedback, even if somewhat biased, but will be valuable to you.

  12. Add moth to the graphs In firs round of our UC we conducted contextual interviews before. After we had ux sessions layed out in following weeks. CI took lot of our time, and there was gap in dev process.
  13. In second round we mixed and conducted CI and UX sessions around the same time, so we were getting more insights and testing current features too.
  14. line up customer pipeline of both data consumer and data provider organisations and
  15. Context for feedback Means we can tailor ux sessions so don’t get lost in the details Better targetted scenarios in the ux sessions, makes the situation more realistic. Issue with our users is they get caught up in exact content (show a cancer researcher an alzheimer study and they cant complete the task because they cant get over not understanding the data) Give example of sarah alzheimer ux then to william.
  16. Understanding how needs change over time Affects how we measure activity and what it means to be a retained user Get broader understanding of user as our questions and company direction evolves (asking same people different things over time) Image - puzzle
  17. Mahantesh Sebi & zsombor Roy IDEAS BUG REPORTS PLATFORM DOWN
  18. Before Random , infrequent users (once every 2 weeks) Slow development More face to face testing At least 1 hour session NOW: -consistent, frequent (twice a week) Fast development Online - remote 30 minutes sessions

  20. This is something we were warned about when we started with UC, but in my opinion when you communicate properly the importance of being honest people get it. Maybe just remind it now and then.
  21. By testing for 6 months with 10 users there is lack of breadth so we might be missing out on some detail. It’s always good to get some quantitative methods included in your metrics.
  22. By having templates, and already defined process the seting up UC will get quicker. However managing it still takes significant time and effort.
  23. Thank youuuuu!
