“User experience is not a role,
it’s an outcome.”
Lane Halley

“Shaping the product and shaping the company
are not two separate things.”
Arne Roock

“Choose the pieces of the methodology that work
for your context. Be pragmatic, not dogmatic.”
Jeff Gothelf

“Lean” has become loaded.
How can we redeﬁne it?

Which voices are missing from the
balanced team?

From continuous delivery to continuous learning.

Bill Scott, PayPal How do you take a gigantic organization and begin to transform the products? One key is to change the way teams work together to build experiences by following a Lean UX methodology. However, essential to this is to have engineering fully onboard as an integrated partner in the process. In this talk, Bill Scott will share 6 principles gleaned from the last two years to transforming engineering and the technology stack to support this working model.

Martina Schell, Method I will share successes and challenges from bringing Lean Startup working practices into a design consultancy context. Johanna Kollmann and I spoke about this topic at Interaction 13 at the beginning of the year and I'd love to build on our lessons learned nine months on. This is a work in progress, rather than a silver bullet solution - I'm keen to hear experiences from the group and facilitate a discussion.

Brittany Hunter, Atomic Object High-fidelity, carefully-annotated wireframes and design mockups are brittle and time-consuming to manage, often requiring expensive software and specialized skill to create and maintain. In this talk, Brittany will share case studies of how poly-skilled product teams of designers and developers at Atomic Object share tasks and collaborate on UX, focus on the user, and iterate on design quickly by using low-fidelity sketches, storyboards, and mockups. She will share techniques for creating flexible, easily-managed design artifacts, as well as discuss the benefits and caveats of these techniques. This talk was originally presented at Agile & Beyond 2013 and has been updated to include more case studies from recent projects.

Mike Long, Thoughtworks I will share what I have learned through my research with cross-functional teams (startups, enterprise, and in-between) on effective patterns for design collaboration. The group will learn about what people are doing to get cross-functional engagement in the design process when the design is continuous, sustained, and co-located, or remote. I would also like to do a quick fishbowl afterwards to hear what other people have experienced.

Chris Nodder, Chris Nodder Consulting I will describe a specific set of tools I've been using in a particular order that really helps all the members of a project (makers, monetizers and managers) understand user needs and build for those needs. None of the methods I use are new, but by focusing on the idea of empathizers and systemizers I ensure that there is sufficient continuity between the activities we perform that non-empathizers can still understand that they are not the user, and agree on a sensible user-centric way forward. This stops arguments and focuses everyone on the team towards customer based solutions. There is always a paper trail back to observed user data. There is always enough information pinned to the wall that people can point and say "see, this is why we're doing what we are doing". There is always enough verification built in to the process that we know whether we're on track before we invest in code. I'll describe the concept of systemizers and empathizers, share the set of tools I use and show the flow of information between each tool.

Jay Trimble - NASA Ames Research Center I will present my teams experience in going from traditional development to agile user centered development using participatory design methods with my group at NASA Ames Research Center. We reduced our delivery cycle from six months to three-weeks, we increased product quality, decreased cost and increased the engagement and enjoyment of our own team and the customer. I'll present the key principles and lessons learned, the role of the customer, the users and our own team of developers and designers.

Wearing many hats is typical in early startups, so you would think there would be no problem being a balanced team. But even at an early stage there are many opportunities for imbalance, and these can have long-term effects on company culture. Moses will present what some of these opportunities are, principles for counterbalancing them, and solicit our discussion.

Zach will discuss the 9 LeanUX principles and how his team used them as they built and exited a company. Few of the principles were intentionally picked but most became apparent once codified. He'll specifically talk about a few key practices (Information Radiators and Vicious Prioritization) that helped make the SideReel team a phenomenal success.

Sara Mae O’Brien Scott and Tatiana Baquero Cakici, Senior Consultants at Enterprise Knowledge (EK), presented “AI Fast Track to Search-Focused AI Solutions” at the Information Architecture Conference (IAC24) that took place on April 11, 2024 in Seattle, WA. In their presentation, O’Brien-Scott and Cakici focused on what Enterprise AI is, why it is important, and what it takes to empower organizations to get started on a search-based AI journey and stay on track. The presentation explored the complexities of enterprise search challenges and how IA principles can be leveraged to provide AI solutions through the use of a semantic layer. O’Brien-Scott and Cakici showcased a case study where a taxonomy, an ontology, and a knowledge graph were used to structure content at a healthcare workforce solutions organization, providing personalized content recommendations and increasing content findability. In this session, participants gained insights about the following: Most common types of AI categories and use cases; Recommended steps to design and implement taxonomies and ontologies, ensuring they evolve effectively and support the organization’s search objectives; Taxonomy and ontology design considerations and best practices; Real-world AI applications that illustrated the value of taxonomies, ontologies, and knowledge graphs; and Tools, roles, and skills to design and implement AI-powered search solutions.

With more memory available, system performance of three Dell devices increased, which can translate to a better user experience Conclusion When your system has plenty of RAM to meet your needs, you can efficiently access the applications and data you need to finish projects and to-do lists without sacrificing time and focus. Our test results show that with more memory available, three Dell PCs delivered better performance and took less time to complete the Procyon Office Productivity benchmark. These advantages translate to users being able to complete workflows more quickly and multitask more easily. Whether you need the mobility of the Latitude 5440, the creative capabilities of the Precision 3470, or the high performance of the OptiPlex Tower Plus 7010, configuring your system with more RAM can help keep processes running smoothly, enabling you to do more without compromising performance.
