Study Notes
User Experience Strategy
- A successful user experience requires a clearly articulated strategy that balances product objectives and user needs.
- Product objectives are goals set by the organization, and should strike a balance between being too general and too specific.
- Considerations in formulating objectives include brand identity, which involves the conceptual associations or emotional reactions the product should evoke.
Understanding User Needs
- User needs come from outside the organization, from the product's users.
- Understanding user needs involves conducting user research, which can include methods like surveys, focus groups, user testing, and contextual inquiry.
- User research helps break down the audience into segments based on characteristics like demographics, psychographics, technological experience, domain knowledge, or role.
User Research Methods

- Focus groups: a general technique for understanding user needs.
