Avoiding Ready-Fire-Aim UX Design
Listen to the Show!
Adaptive Path’s Senior Interaction Designer Kim Lenox and Design Technologist Dan Harrelson share their experiences in how to think through the UX design process. Adaptive Path uses many tools to help guide their thinking like research-based design and injecting users directly in the design process.
Topics discussed in the show are:
- Often we design features and functions. We should design for unmet needs and pain points
- Extreme Programming discipline of having a user as a part of the team is very useful
- Getting rid of the "you had to be there" problem
- Common areas where people stop short in UX design
- Willingness to have a bad UX, because it's too difficult
- Areas to pay special attention
- User interface
- Performance
- Error handling
- Not breaking out of the "framework" box
