17. Starting with people to build an experience strategy An experience strategy identifies the most important, holistic experience for both a business and a customer. That identification process involves much more than sending out a survey or conducting an interview. You need to spend time with people in their context,in the places where they live and work, to observe, to build authentic relationships and to uncover the real truths that shed light on understanding a customer's journey with a company.

30. CREATE UNDERSTANDING VISUALIZE AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE VALIDATE YOUR IDEAS THREE (OF THE MANY) WAYS YOU CAN UTILIZE YOUR UX TEAM

31. CREATE UNDERSTANDING

32. User Researcher: User researchers are the eyes, ears and conscience of your product manager, the guide explains. User researchers provide the knowledge that ensures that you build products that delight your customers through a great user experience. 13 Jobs That Now Matter The Most, From A Digital Perspective

33. learning everything about the customers becomes the most important focus of creating the product strategy. When companies talk about features, they are saying, Look at us. Look at what we can do. When companies talk about the problems of the customers, they are saying, Look at what youre dealing with. Look at how we want to help. - Bruce McCarthy

34. The solution? Exposure hours. The number of hours each team member is exposed directly to real users interacting with the team's designs or the team's competitor's designs. There is a direct correlation between this exposure and the improvements we see in the designs that team produces. It's the closest thing we've found to a silver bullet https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/fast-path-great-ux-increased-exposure-hours-jared-spool Jared Spool

35. Whats important to remember is that customer journeys arent created; theyre discovered. When we try to create journeys, we fall into one of these two traps: we either hallucinate customer needs or throw away the customer experience playbook altogether and focus on the needs we know intimately: our own. Jake Sorofman http://blogs.gartner.com/jake-sorofman/customer-journeys-are-discovered-not-created/

36. You know, we have all the data in the world. We know what our users are doing and have analytics to track and measure it, but we dont know why they do it. We dont have any frameworks for understanding behavior outside of what we speculate about inside the building.

37. Investing in user research is just about the only way to consistently generate a rich stream of data about customer needs and behaviors it informs product managers, engineers, and just about everyone else. It forms the foundation of intuitive designs, indispensable products, and successful companies.

38. The problem is, no customer experience technology platform, by itself, can provide deep insights into why customers do what they do. These systems can track an infinite number of transactions, but they can't identify the key actions the company must take to gain more fully engaged customers. http://www.gallup.com/businessjournal/185345/quantitative-customer-experience-metrics-aren-enough.aspx?utm_source=twitterbutton&utm_medium=twitter&utm_campaign=sharing Quantitative Customer Experience Metrics Aren't Enough

42. Lots of data.

43. journey maps We identify every step in your customer or user journey.

44. personas Through observations we develop a deep understanding of your users and customers.

50. Observing users in person provides you with data that surveys and behavioral data simply cant, just as surveys and behavioral metrics provide you with data and reliability that qualitative work cant. You need both and you need to do both well https://medium.com/@mgallivan/the-case-for-talking-to-users-in-the-age-of-big-data-bca4159e9620 Matt Gallivan

51. Customer experience (Cx) professionals know that the right step on the path to delivering good experiences is doing research to understand their customers. Yet many fail to recognize that its easy to draw false conclusions and that doing so is even more dangerous than being ignorant. in this report, we warn Cx pros about the most common pitfalls and explain how to adapt your practices and mindset to avoid them and get the insights you need to succeed.

61. VALIDATE YOUR IDEAS

62. Developing a product without user research is essentially one expensive experiment which, according to aforementioned industry benchmarks, has a 90% chance of not paying off (at least without modifications post-launch). http://www.gallup.com/businessjournal/185345/quantitative-customer-experience-metrics-aren-enough.aspx?utm_source=twitterbutton&utm_medium=twitter&utm_campaign=sharing Calculating the ROI of Digital Prototyping Nis Frome

63. Im also hoping very much to see more validation of ideas. In other words, lets stop just shipping features, crossing our fingers, and hoping they work. Lets figure out how we can test whether were moving in the right direction before we commit six months and hundreds of thousands of dollars toward building something. Calculating the ROI of Digital Prototyping Laura Klein http://blog.wootric.com/product-managers-stop-worrying-about-building-the-wrong-thing-on-schedule-a-qa-with-laura-klein/

64. Remember that our higher order objective is to validate our ideas the fastest, cheapest way possible. Actually building and launching a product idea is generally the slowest, most expensive way to validate the idea. Dual-Track Agile Marty Cagan http://svpg.com/dual-track-scrum/

65. from $1 invested in UX, you save $10 in fixing issues during development, and $100 if the product has been already released. 1:10:100 http://nearsoft.com/blog/how-to-make-100-for-every-dollar-you-invest-in-ux-3/

69. Youre not building to build, youre building to answer. The prototype is thrown away after a sprint 99% of the time. Design Sprint Todd Lombardo http://www.mindtheproduct.com/author/ctodd-lombardo/

70. Usability Test Iterative Validation You have a solution already launched, and youre looking for areas that could use improvements. Testing with actual users in a 1-1 setting with task based scenarios youll capture many of the key issues. A non-functional prototype is validated with limited work behind it - to make sure were heading in the right direction early in the process. And WAY before development starts to build. This is also done in a 1-1 setting, but changes are made on the y.

Experience principles are guidelines for solving a challenge in dependent of a specific solution. These principles translate our findings into design directives based on an understanding of the design space and the users. WHY KEY DESIGN PRINCIPLES? These principles outline what is necessary to achieve success, giving designers and implementers a framework in which to generate solutions that align with employee needs and motivations and to serve as guideposts at decision points.
