- 44. A few more thoughts on process Design for Beta Always assume there will there will be more to learn, test, and add. Seek opportunities Use UX tools to identify opportunities, not just pain points. Track behaviors over time Continue to intermittently conduct research and test. Validate new assumptions or seek explanations for changes. Track metrics over time Track metric and KPI changes over time. Why do things change? What does that mean? 1 2 3 4

- 55. Join us again this week Death of a Design: 5 Stages of Grief Raschel Iarocci, Lead Experience Architect Wednesday, Sept. 14 4:00 p.m. – 5:00 p.m. When a design tests poorly with usability participants it can feel pretty defeating — especially when it has tested well in the past. After this happens, your UX team may go through a thought process similar to grieving, first denying that feedback is valid, then perhaps experiencing anger, then progressing through bargaining and depression, to finally acceptance. During her talk, Raschel will share contemporary strategies for dealing with each of these five stages, enabling the group to move past initial reactions and get down to the work of addressing the design challenges.
- 56. Join us again this week User Testing: Adapt to Fit Your Needs Ari Weissman, Lead Experience Architect and Lys Maitland, Senior Experience Planner Friday, Sept. 16 2:00 p.m. – 3:30 p.m. Test early, test often. It’s a mantra that’s been proven successful time and again when it comes to innovation and design. So why aren’t you doing it? In the start-up world, when everything is moving so quickly, it can be easy to overlook or postpone collecting feedback from real people because of cost, time, or lack of preparation. Don’t let those things stop you.Valid data can be captured cheaply, quickly, and with half-finished products and strategies.
