Welcome to my Sprint Zero!

We are going to walk through basic UX steps in Sprint Zero. Usually, We can get it done in 2 weeks.

Of Course, It depends on project type, budget and etc. But we have basic Idea of What we have to do at beginning of Agile project.

We have 6 Steps:

Gather And Analyse User Data

  • Understanding Users:
    • Who are your users?
    • What are their pain points?
    • What areas of your product need attention?
  • Gathering User Data:
    • Observation
    • Social Media
    • Customer Service
    • Interview
    • User Survey
  • Experience maps:
    • Direct Quotes
    • User Goals
    • User Action
    • Pain Points
    • Questions
    • Tasks
    • Activities
    • Design Ideas
User Experience Board
  • Outcomes:
    • Pain points
    • Set goals
    • Develop metrics
      • Efficiency (Time to complete)
      • Effectiveness (Reduction in errors)
      • Satisfaction (Happiness with system)

Personas

  • What?
    • Provide a basis for design discussions.
    • Describe who a team is building for.
    • Focus on specific attributes of actual users.
    • Need the whole team's input and buy-in.
  • Assumption Personas:?
    • Use the data you already have.
    • Make assumptions where needed.
    • Must be verified as more data is collected.
  • Attributes:
    • What do they do in real life?
    • How comfortable are they with technology?
    • How experienced are they in your field?
    • What design implications are there for each attribute?

  • Concerns:
    • Are they concerned about speed?
    • Are they concerned about efficiency?
    • Are they concerned about accuracy?
    • Are they concerned about looking good?
  • Goals
  • Quotes

Ideation

  • Get the current version out of your head.
  • Find other ways to solve the problem.
  • Broden set of potential ideas.
  • Refine ideas to create solutions.

The first solution often is not the best!

Creating Scenarios and Storyboards

Needs + Goals = Solution

Creating Scenarios
  • Reasons to use?
    • Describe behavior in detail
    • Deeper understanding of design viability
    • Consider end-to-end interaction
    • Great communication tool
  • Who creates?
    • User Experience
    • Business
    • Marketing
    • Development
    • Project Management
    • WHOLE TEAM!
  • Benefits:
    • Ensure design is workable.
    • Describe required interactions.
    • Uncover error conditions.
    • Predict user's behavior.
Creating Storyboards
  • Ask your self:
    • Who (Users), Who you're building for?
      Personas
    • What (Issues), What those people's issues are?
      Pain Points
    • How (Solutions), What potential solutions you could employ?
      Ideation
  • StoryBoards
    • Depict emotion and action.
    • Draw attention to specific elements.
    • Show user's progression through the interface.
    • Great for demonstrating to executives.

Prototyping

Paper Prototyping

  • Why Paper?
    • Fast to build.
    • Fast to change
    • More iterations possible.
    • Guiding Principles.
    • Early usability testing.
    • Fast change before coding starts.
Creating Storyboards

User Centered planning

  • Use for:
    • Prioritization.
    • Dependencies.
    • Goal setting.
    • Metric creation.
    • Estimation.
  • Benefit:
    • Easy to understand.
    • Easy to communicate.
    • Easy to track.
  • Capability Prioritization:
    • Minimum requirement.
    • Majority requirement.
    • Nice to have.
  • Lean Software Development:
    • Build the minimum number of features possible.
    • Get feedback.
    • Change plan if necessary.
