Decision Making in Product Design
5 likes653 views
The document outlines a lecture by Zaid Haque from Carnegie Mellon Qatar, focusing on decision-making in product design, particularly in mobility technologies like Uber. It discusses the balance between cost and user experience, the importance of quantitative data for validating design choices, and strategies for improving rider experiences. Additionally, it highlights the market potential for semi-autonomous vehicles and the competitive landscape for the company Symbiote, which aims to develop intuitive interfaces for future mobility solutions.

- 8. My job is literally making decisions. But based on what? Designers often need to ‘use their gut’ to conceptualize their products.
- 9. Making large- scale decisions A lot of times as designers and engineers we need to make decisions on potentially ambiguous situations. How do we decide which path to follow?
- 10. Cost FormFunction Product Parameters Money, Manpower, effort, etc. Aesthetics, Beauty Performance, Features
- 11. Cost FormFunction Corporate Managers Everyone has different views on what is important. Product Parameters
- 12. Cost Form Function Software Engineers Everyone has different views on what is important. Product Parameters
- 13. Cost Form Function “Designers” - closer to Artists Everyone has different views on what is important. Product Parameters
- 14. Cost FormFunction Try to balance these out! Product Parameters
- 15. Money matters. Each decision you make as a designer/engineer costs the company money. You’ll need to convince them what you are doing will help their business.
- 16. So do we follow the money? No. But yeah. Kind of.
- 17. Find a balance What can create the biggest impact on our users with the least effort?
- 19. But how do you measure the impact? Only way to convince management to accept your terms is to show them numbers.
- 20. Qualitative vs. Quantitative Data Our customers are giving positive reviews. Our rating on the App Store is 4.7 stars. We provide taxis quicker than our competitors. We can get a driver to a customer within 3 mins. ??? ???
