Although companies follow extensive Design thinking and UX Process, we often wonder why the end delivery failed to meet the customer expectations. Despite the data collected during the discovery phase has been quite impactful in deriving user insights and identifying the key problem statement, the end deliverables fail to bring a great experience. Need to know why? Here are some of the checkpoints.
- UX team understands the new requirements and initiates a user study (ethnography)
- Product Owners approves the Clickable user flow through an early paper prototype for all given user journeys
- Product Owners confirm with stakeholders and random users via a quick 5 minute test...
- Product Owner and UX head to discuss future feature scalabilities and the stability of the existing framework
- UX team to confirm with Product Owners (based on their studies) the below
- Supported platforms, Browsers, Versions
- Accessibility Support (required / not) if yes to which level (A, AA, AAA)
- Multi Device support (Responsiveness)
- Brand adherences
- UX team builds high fidelity Prototypes in accordance based on the approved Paper design and flow
- UX head to present all visual and interactive components included in the final prototype to the PO and Engineering head to ensure the proposed design is "doable" using the current tech stack.
- PO to approve the Final version of the prototypes for the defined user flow for the current release.
- UX team handovers the design kit to the engineering team
- Clickable final Prototype
- User journeys and flows (for the current release)
- Design Dimensions
- gutters, Styles, Red-lining kit
- Block diagrams to show the tile spacing
- Documentation covering Visual Accessibility aspects that needs to be considered
- Every image in the usable format as a file with the given dimensions
- All instances /behavior of buttons to be explicitly documented with style guide
- Deliver a Style guide document with the screen shot of the component
- PO to ensure the UX team and the engineering team has a clear vision of the scalability of the existing program and scope
- UX team to ensure a proper UX QA is in place for every Sprint/Pi
- UX to ensure Engineering team understand every aspect of the shared design and the use of style and tiles prior to the start of the development phase
There are three "process" that needs to align well for any product to successfully launched
- UX Process
- Thought process of the team (UX, Front End and the Application development team)
- Development process - How the engineering team evaluates, respects the design and maintains the overall aesthetics and interactions of the UI
