WHAT IS UX ? 8

4/30/14

UX = UI 9

UX MYTH #1

11

UI is just one aspect that contributes to the experience

The various UX roles that a person can fulfill are plentiful. Some are whole jobs, some whole careers, others are tactical roles we all move in and out of.

UX IS FOR DIGITAL

UX MYTH #2

4/30/14

UX ENDS ONCE USERS LEAVE THE WEB

UX MYTH #3

EXPERIENCE IN THE WEBSITE

2014 SOMIA CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION 21 4/30/14


What happen before they land on the website?


What happen after they leave the website?

4/30/14

YOU ARE LIKE YOUR USERS

24

UX MYTH #4


“YOU ARE NOT THE USER NEITHER IS YOUR BOSS”

When designing, it’s easy to assume that everybody is like you.

You know a lot about your services and your website.

But sometimes, knowing too much can backfire.

It is difficult to unlearn what you know.

Stop seeing inside-out, start involving your users and get fresh outside-in perspectives.

TASK: You saw your friend’s Lenovo phone and now you are considering to buy one for yourself. Please try to buy it.

USERS ALWAYS KNOW WHAT THEY WANT

27

UX MYTH #5

4/30/14

Asking people what they want won’t always reveal the products they do want.

People can make confident but false predictions about their future behavior, especially when presented with a new and unfamiliar design.

UX IS ALL ABOUT USERS

UX MYTH #6

WE CREATE BALANCE

2014 SOMIA CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION 31

PEOPLE (desirability)

BUSINESS (viability)

TECHNOLOGY (feasibility)

EXPERIENCE INNOVATION


http://mashable.com/2013/10/30/ux-myths/

Most people only see vanilla UX, the tactical, visible / client facing part. Hardcore UX begins with tactical, organizational activities. Big gains start coming when an organization leverages design-thinking and a user experience mindset in their culture.

4/30/14

UX IS ONE MAN’S RESPONSIBILITY

33

UX MYTH #7

4/30/14

UX IS EVERYONE’S RESPONSIBILITY

34

A customer’s experience is affected by the whole story: brand, campaigns, websites, store design, packaging, product design, interaction design, customer support, user community, disposal / replacement. It’s absurd to think that one person can design all of this. Good UX design requires everyone in the team to understand the users, and do their part of the job to deliver experiences to the users in an orchestrated manner.


4/30/14

UX IS A STEP IN THE PROCESS

UX MYTH #8

HOW DOES UX FIT IN THE DEVELOPMENT PROCESS?

36

Research Define Design Develop

Many think that user experience design is confined to sketching the interfaces.

However, UX design is a much broader process that - ideally - starts at the strategy level and affects the whole lifecycle of a project or a business.
