About User Experience (UX)
Ravi Singh
Product Design Matters
“I seek for the perfect balance between espresso and
milk with a creamy texture.You have to be able to see
the coffee oils at the rim of the mug.
I like dark roasted beans, a strong roast with a lot of
depth, bitter but smooth, well-rounded aromas...”

About user experience
UX is NOT:
“Making things pretty”
Primarily “Look and Feel”
Doing a usability test before go-live
Designing what YOU think makes sense
The coding of a User Interface
Purely art or purely science
Easy, trivial or optional

Every design project requires
some customer research
Or you might not deliver what
the customer really needs
Test Early, Quickly and Often
● 80% of all usability issues can be found with 5-8 users in a day or two of testing
● Better to test iteratively 3 times with 5 users than once with 15
● Test on the cheap
● Recruit whoever is available
● Give simple rewards
● Strive for immediate feedback
Better than talking to ZERO users
Guerilla Usability
Why Prioritize Design?
Design is a Competitive Differentiator
● iPods still have over 70% of MP3 player market share
Design Must be Holistic
Design Creates a Product’s Personality
Practical Emotional Direct
Design Turns Boring…
Design Turns Boring into Engaging

BEFORE
• Good feedback on simple
visual design
• Loved by internal
stakeholders
• But completely unintuitive
• Never usability tested
Case Study: A Homepage Redesign
Researched, Designed, Comparative Tested and
fully implemented in 8 weeks
AFTER
At first “overwhelming” but…
 90% less failures on key tasks
 31% shorter paths to
conversions
 Up 111% in brand perception
 Up 21% in task satisfaction
 Up 17 points in Customer
Satisfaction to 88%
To Recap:
● UX Design is a collaboration between PM, UX & Dev
● Research is critical before & after design
● User experiences are highly measurable
● UX is high-reward in respect to the investment
● Great experience design is a market differentiator

Why?Blazemeter, a B2B SaaS that provides performance testing, conducted this test in-house as the first step in their conversion optimization overhaul. They learned that, for products with a long sales process, it may not matter how many more leads you gather at the start of the funnel if the rest of the funnel hasn’t been optimized as well. Happily, after conducting prospect research – including contacting individual leads to find out what would help them make a buying decision – the team implemented a series of follow-up lead communications. Lead-to-sales conversion rates then rose by more than 10%. Blazemeter’s SVP Digital Marketing OphirPrusak explained his biggest lesson learned from this test,”Leads don’t convert to customers. Leads convert to conversations!”

  • #55: We conduct usability tests with only 5-8 users for each user profilePlanning, recruiting, testing and analysis can be done in a few days or weeks80% of all usability issues can be confidently identified with small sample sizesThe benefits are measurable and far outweigh the time and cost of testing

  • #59: http://www.theverge.com/2013/1/24/3904134/google-redesign-how-larry-page-engineered-beautiful-revolutionIn stark contrast to Eric Schmidt’s tenure as CEO where data-driven product invention and design was standard operating procedure, Page’s Google is more willing to let humans make design decisions instead of algorithms. "At some point the engineering and product organizations were just focused on solving big data problems," say Doronichev, "but as time went on the organization became more mature, and we started focusing on the little things." And so far, it’s paid off. Google’s had a fantastic run of over a year and a half releasing core web and mobile product redesigns that are competitive with anything on the web, Android, and iOS.
  • #60: Design makes people LOVE your ProductsConveys quality, tone and brandImproves usabilityEnhances engagement
  • #69: User Experience is as important as Customer Service, Marketing, Sales, Engineering and Training in a mature organization. It’s not optional.User Experience is a differentiator.ROI of UX activities is usually immediate and generous.UX effects are both measurable and intangible.The company will look more professional, credible and forward thinking through stellar product design and branding.UX is a customer-oriented and a value-oriented initiative.Remember – BMW can brag about their engineering & their design. Fans just care about how Beemers make them LOOK AND FEEL
