Study Notes
Elements of User Experience
- The elements of user experience remain consistent regardless of product complexity, but application can be challenging due to mindset and resource limitations.
Strategy
- Solving user experience involves resolving multiple small problems.
- Identify the problem, its consequences, and common pitfalls: design by default, mimicry, and fiat.
- Ground decisions in understanding the underlying issues and adapt the process to fit available resources.
Product Development
- Product development is a marathon, requiring pacing, performance monitoring, and adjustments.
- Deliberate design decisions upfront may take time, but save time in the long run.
- Essential tasks include strategy, scope, and structure, which should not be eliminated due to schedule or budget constraints.
Importance of the Lower Planes
- The five-plane model consists of surface, skeleton, structure, scope, and strategy.
- The lower planes (strategy, scope, structure) are crucial for overall success or failure, despite being harder to see.
- Upper plane successes can be obscured by lower plane failures, and proper decisions on upper planes rely on good choices on lower planes.
- Approaching product development with a complete user experience perspective ensures fulfilling strategic goals and user needs.
