“…Not functioning with a case has always been the number one negative to Olloclip's products, so it's nice to have an option. Access to a functional case may persuade some people who have held off buying an Olloclip lens to try one out, and I do recommend bundling any lens purchase with a case if you're someone who doesn't like the risk of a naked iPhone….“

UX AND DATAMarrying UX and Analytics

Page 23: UX Fundamentals for Startups

DATA, A (VERY) IMPORTANT PART OF UX

➤ UX is also about data-driven decision making

➤ Especially when we already have a product. E.g. a website

➤ We can make use of web analytics data to know where is the opportunities to improve, issues to fix

Page 24: UX Fundamentals for Startups

THE OLD WAY

➤ HIPPO (Highest Paid Person’s Opinion)

Page 25: UX Fundamentals for Startups

DATA HAS NO VALUE

➤ Data and tools have no value

➤ It’s the people who use them, that can make the data valuable

➤ People with analytical skill

“… is Krungthai-AXA 12PL a type of savings or an insurance product?” Question posted on 24 Oct 2013

The link to our website that results in “Page not found” because the original page no longer exists

Page 29: UX Fundamentals for Startups

HAVE QUESTIONS THAT DATA CAN (HELP) ANSWER

➤ You can’t expect Google Analytics to tell you what to do with your website

➤ Invest 10% in tools, 90% in people

UX + DATA

Page 31: UX Fundamentals for Startups

LEAN UX FOR STARTUPS

UX for Startups

Page 32: UX Fundamentals for Startups

LEAN UX

➤ Lean UX is researching and validating your user experience as quickly and cheaply as possible

➤ If you’re already doing UX: it’s all about getting outcomes (good UX) rather than getting outputs (UX documents)

➤ If you haven’t done UX: it’s all about picking the best learning tools from UX toolkit to match your situation

Page 33: UX Fundamentals for Startups

LEAN UX VS AGILE UX

Page 34: UX Fundamentals for Startups

WHY DO LEAN UX?

➤ UX doesn’t have to be expensive and time consuming

➤ Many UX tools can be done very cheap

➤ There are many free/affordable tools out there

TRADITIONAL UX TOOLS

➤ User Research

➤ Personas

➤ User Journeys

➤ Card Sorting

➤ Wireframes

➤ Mockups & Prototypes

➤ A/B Testing or MVT

Page 39: UX Fundamentals for Startups

USER RESEARCHUnderstand Your Users & Their Needs

Page 40: UX Fundamentals for Startups

WHY DO USER RESEARCH?

➤ It’s cheaper and faster to test assumptions and iterate with interviews, mockups and prototypes than to do those things after you launch a product

Page 41: UX Fundamentals for Startups

USER RESEARCH

➤ Aim to understand “What are the user needs and pain points?”

➤ Question types determine research methodology

What do people say? What do people do?

Why? How many/often?

Self-report Observation

Few participants Many participants

Page 42: UX Fundamentals for Startups

SO MANY TYPES OF RESEARCH

SOURCE: H. MUELLER, GOOGLE AUS

Page 43: UX Fundamentals for Startups

USING SOCIAL MEDIA

➤ In many cases, we can understand user needs from competitors’ social media

Page 44: UX Fundamentals for Startups

USING SEARCH VOLUMES

➤ In other cases, we can make use of how people search for things on search engines

➤ Google AdWords provide free tool to get this data

➤ Google Trends also help

Page 45: UX Fundamentals for Startups

INTERVIEWS

➤ Sometimes, the best way is to talk to users

➤ Keep questions open-ended

➤ Listen, listen, and listen; avoid interrupting users

➤ Plan who to interview (great if we have personas!)

Page 46: UX Fundamentals for Startups
Page 47: UX Fundamentals for Startups
Page 48: UX Fundamentals for Startups

USER NEEDS

➤ …Then paraphrase quotes from your research into format “I want to X”

“I want to online pre-check in”

“I want to be able to choose my flight time if my flight is cancelled”

“I want to know what’s happening to my flight in

unexpected extreme weather”

Page 49: UX Fundamentals for Startups

USER NEEDS

➤ and create affinity diagram by grouping the related needs into groups

➤ This affinity diagram will also help us creating personas easier

Page 50: UX Fundamentals for Startups

PERSONASCreate Characters from Your Users

Page 51: UX Fundamentals for Startups

PERSONAS

➤ A persona is like a character that can represent a group of your users with a combination of similar demographics, behaviours, needs, goals, etc.

➤ Good personas are realistic, give actionable insights

➤ Good reference for future decisions

PERSONAS

➤ Check your personas

➤ Could enough people like this exist? If not, adjust

➤ Is this a specific person you know? If yes, adjust

Page 63: UX Fundamentals for Startups

USER FLOWSUnderstand Your User Journeys

Page 64: UX Fundamentals for Startups

USER FLOWS

Page 65: UX Fundamentals for Startups

SITE MAPS

➤ With user flows, we can create sitemap

➤ …which can also be used to test early on if it’s going to work well for users

Page 66: UX Fundamentals for Startups

TREE TESTING

➤ Tree testing is a great way to test whether our designed content structure is really easy for users to access desired content

Page 67: UX Fundamentals for Startups

CARD SORTINGDesigning Information Architect with Users

Page 68: UX Fundamentals for Startups

CARD SORTING

➤ Card sorting is a good tool for getting to know how users would group content or features of your website or applications

➤ Increase “findability” of the web/app

➤ Can be done physically or with software

Page 69: UX Fundamentals for Startups

CARD SORTING MADE EASY

➤ Prepare at least 30 cards

➤ Write down actions users can do on your website/mobile app, in plain language

➤ Do not write a card that force category

➤ Make them know that it’s not a test, no right or wrong

➤ Observe how participants group cards

➤ When they finish, ask them to name the category in their own words

➤ Ask them questions, try to understand their logic of grouping

Page 70: UX Fundamentals for Startups

ANALYSE CARD SORTING RESULT

➤ Standardise group names

➤ Create standardised grid to see frequency

➤ Result of card sorting is just input for us to create information architect or sitemap that should be tested again later

➤ Card sorting won’t be useful without knowing the “why”

Page 71: UX Fundamentals for Startups

CARD SORTING DIGITALLY

➤ Service like OptimalSort enables you to conduct card sorting online

➤ Tools like this automatically collect all the data and (almost) ready for you to analyse

➤ Downside is we don’t get to talk or observe them like doing it in person

Page 72: UX Fundamentals for Startups

WIREFRAMESMaking Sure Everyone’s on the Same Page

Page 73: UX Fundamentals for Startups

WIREFRAMES

➤ Wireframes are great for communicating with all stakeholders

➤ Make sure everyone’s see the same thing, on the same page

➤ Adjust until finalised before UI designer work on mockups & prototypes

Page 74: UX Fundamentals for Startups
Page 75: UX Fundamentals for Startups
Page 76: UX Fundamentals for Startups
Page 77: UX Fundamentals for Startups
Page 78: UX Fundamentals for Startups

MOCKUPS & PROTOTYPES

Get Closer to the Real Thing

Page 79: UX Fundamentals for Startups

WHEN TO DO MOCKUPS

➤ Sometimes we can do wireframes and mockups in parallel

➤ Mockups also let us see the look & feel of the final design

➤ Good for communicating with stakeholders to finalise all the small details that wireframes couldn’t

Page 80: UX Fundamentals for Startups

WHEN TO DO PROTOTYPES

➤ When we know what’s gonna be on pages/screens and the agreed look & feel/mood & tone

➤ Hotspot prototypes = interactive prototypes that look and act similar to the real thing

Page 81: UX Fundamentals for Startups

A/B TESTING & MULTIVARIATE TESTQualitatively Improving Your Products

Page 82: UX Fundamentals for Startups

A/B TESTING

Page 83: UX Fundamentals for Startups

MULTIVARIATE TEST (MVT)

Page 90: UX Fundamentals for Startups

GOOD A/B TEST OR MVT

➤ You test on something that is explainable

➤ Know what it will impact (e.g. conversion rates, more clicks, more sign ups)

➤ Sufficient visitors to make statistical significance
