The design industry is undergoing a huge transformation — we are seeing more prototyping tools than ever before. This increase in the number and breadth of various prototyping tools is fueled by three factors: 1) the rise in mobile apps; 2) the rise of the importance of design; and 3) users expectations for well designed and intuitive applications. With the help of our design founding members — Lia Napolitano and Brooks Haasig — we issued a survey to quantify the prototyping process of design teams behind some of today’s most well designed products including Medium, Airbnb, Uber, Apple, Eventbrite, Pinterest and more. Here are a few key highlights from what we learned. Asset Creation: Prototype Creation: Prototype/Design Asset Storage Sharing and Feedback with Prototypes
UX Methods: Short Time to Market and Few Users - WalkMe Blog This is the worst UX scenario for Designers and Product Managers alike. Circumstances have given you a tight deadline to meet and little access to users for feedback. How, then, do you approach this project, UX wise? This is exactly the situation UX Combos were created for. This is the first of a series of blog posts we will be writing on each of the four UX Combos. Refine your UX today using WalkMe’s onscreen guidance. What’s Your UX Combo? Every product is created over the course of a product timeline. Some options might get you the best feedback on your product, but take too long to complete before a product launch. Some may be quick to finish, but require interactions with users that are not always accessible. A UX Combo takes into consideration the most important parameters for choosing UX methods, namely, access to users and time to market, and narrows down which methods are fit for your circumstances.

The vital role of user research – Design at IBM To many people, conducting user research is a bit like cleaning up the garage: they know it would be a good thing to do and would bring some real benefits, yet somehow they never quite get round to it. For others, user research is something that does happen, but only occasionally, such as at the beginning of a big new project. Then there are those who do carry out some form of user research activity fairly frequently, but who tend to just use the one or two research methods that they have used previously. Obviously some user research is better than none. But if you are really serious about creating a truly great product that satisfies your users’ goals and delivers a fantastic user experience, then investing in user research is going to be paramount to your success. User research helps us to understand how people go about performing tasks and achieving goals that are important to them. Or, to put it another way, You are not your user. This is how our User Research Manager summarizes it:
8 ways to reduce cognitive load: Part 2 In the previous part of the article I described 5 major design techniques that help to reduce cognitive load. This notion refers to the total amount of mental effort that is required from a user to complete a task. Increase of this phenomena above the level that is acceptable for user can cause serious usability issues such as: rise of bounce rateshallow visit depthlower conversion than expected to name a few. Yet, even if a service or product requires complex activity from a user, there are ways to make the design help people go through the process smooth and clear. 5.
