UX - User Experience Design
biarrinetworks.com | Biarri Proprietary Copyright (C) 2018
● Relates to “Lean Product”, “Product Market Fit”
● Design for a Market not a single customer/ user
● Personas
○ Think of a feature from the perspective of specific models of user
● User Research
○ Sit and interview users and potential users to understand their job and objectives
○ Develop skills to really listen and learn rather than have them validate preconceptions
○ Not “What do you want” but “What do you need to achieve? Why?”
● Design Studio
○ Use multiple internal stakeholders to create, discuss and iterate new ideas
● User Testing
○ Test those ideas with users using sketches or light weight mockups
○ Be a scientist: conduct experiments
● Iterate interface design
● Get help from a professional UX team.
