    Study Notes

    Alternative Design Approaches

    • Designing like a programmer involves designing the backend database first and then creating a UI that directly exposes the data structure to users.

    Designing like a Programmer

    • Programmers tend to enable tasks mechanically and let features and technology drive design decisions.
    • This approach may result in a UI that is not user-centered.

    Sketching

    • Sketching involves creating a list of features and sketching various ways to present them.
    • This approach is recommended by the Apple iOS Human Interface Guidelines.
    • Sketching helps discover what works best for presenting features.

    Designing with User Research Data

    • This approach starts with user research to answer questions about target users, their goals, and problems with existing solutions.
    • It involves conducting usability lab studies of competing solutions to gather objective data on performance and areas for improvement.

    Designing by Formal Requirements

    • This approach involves user and stakeholder research to understand user needs and goals.
    • The research is boiled down into a set of requirements that the product design must satisfy.
    • Requirements are specific and measurable, such as response times and UI behavior.

    Designing with User Stories

    • User stories capture a user's goal or task in concise, plain language.
    • User stories are one or more sentences that describe a user's goal or task as part of their role.
