Q

What is Lean UX?

A

Lean UX emphasizes minimizing waste and focusing on the essential aspects of the design process. It is closely aligned with Agile development and involves three primary phases:

  1. Think: Hypothesize solutions based on user research and insights
  2. Make: Develop minimum viable products (MVPs) quickly.
  3. Check: Test and validate the MVPs with users, then iterate based on feedback.

Q

What is Agile UX?

A

Agile UX integrates UX design practices into Agile software development processes. It involves continuous collaboration and iteration throughout the development lifecycle. Key activities include:

  1. Sprint Planning: UX designers work with the development team to plan sprints.
  2. Design Sprints: Rapid cycles of design, prototyping, and testing within a sprint.
  3. Iteration: Continuous improvement and adaptation based on user feedback and testing results.

Q

What is User-Centered Design (UCD)?

A

User-Centered Design focuses on designing products with the end-user in mind throughout the entire development process. It involves several iterative steps:

  1. Research: Gather user requirements through various research methods.
  2. Design: Create design solutions based on research insights.
  3. Prototyping: Develop interactive prototypes for testing.
  4. Evaluation: Test the prototypes with users and gather feedback.
  5. Iteration: Refine and improve the design based on user feedback.

Q

What is Double Diamond? What are the 4 stages?

A

The Double Diamond model, developed by the Design Council, consists of four phases divided into two diamonds:

  1. Discover: Research and understand the problem space.
  2. Define: Narrow down and define the core problem to solve.
  3. Develop: Generate and refine design solutions.
  4. Deliver: Implement the final solution and launch the product.
18
Q

What is Goal-Directed Design (GDD)? What are the 5 phases?

A

Goal-directed design is a method developed by Alan Cooper that focuses on achieving users’ goals. It includes the following steps:

  1. Research: Conduct thorough user and market research.
  2. Modeling: Create personas and scenarios based on research findings.
  3. Requirements: Define functional and user requirements.
  4. Framework: Develop interaction and visual design frameworks.
  5. Refinement: Iterate and refine the design based on feedback and testing.
19
Q

What is Contextual Design? What are the five phases?

A

Contextual Design is a user-centered design process that involves observing and interviewing users in their natural environment. It includes:

  1. Contextual Inquiry: Field studies to understand users in context.
  2. Interpretation: Analyze and interpret the data to identify patterns.
  3. Visioning: Develop a vision of the future system.
  4. Prototyping: Create prototypes to test and validate the vision.
  5. Implementation: Develop and deliver the final product based on insights.
20
Q

What is Human-Centered Design (HCD)? What are the 3 phases?

A

Human-Centered Design is similar to User-Centered Design but places a stronger emphasis on the emotional and social aspects of user experiences. The process includes:

  1. Inspiration: Understand people’s needs and desires.
  2. Ideation: Generate ideas and solutions.
  3. Implementation: Develop and deliver the final product with continuous user feedback.
21
Q

What factors influence the choice of a UX design process?

A

The choice of a UX design process often depends on the specific project requirements, team structure, and organizational culture.

22
Q

What do these UX design processes offer to designers?

A

Each of these processes offers a structured approach to UX design, allowing designers to create products that are not only functional but also enjoyable and meaningful for users.
