user friendliness for websites grafisch lyceum eindhoven 1997 learning the fundamentals for design for print how i do my ux thing imagine a scenario where you are asked to design a personal dashboard for advertisers on a local online marketplace how would you approach this task how do you get design approval these are the steps i would usually take resist the urge to immediately start sketching it s tempting to start sketching right away but it s important to first really understand the problem and the user s needs nevertheless i often blatantly disregard this rule if only to offload the ideas in my head empathize empathizing is researching getting to know the user understand their needs motivations and pain points possibly create user personas to keep them in mind throughout the design process collect all available data such as analytics user feedback and stakeholder input define the problem statement based on the insights gathered define a clear problem statement that outlines the main challenge to be addressed create an overview of the current challenges insights and opportunities i also look at the competition and the market define the challenges kpis and opportunities for the project middle images is current state validate with colleagues stakeholder s share the problem statement and user personas if necessary with colleagues and stakeholders for feedback and validation create a baseline use miro to facilitate a brainstorming session e g using sticky notes and create a baseline for the solution it is possible that not even a single pixel is designed at this stage engage stakeholders in a card sorting exercise to prioritize features and functionality creating wireframes use figma to create wireframes that outlines the structure and layout of the solution lots of collaboration here is needed with different departements especially copy wireframes for different sections of fiber internet each page has a distinct goal validate with colleagues stakeholders users as many as possible share the wireframe with colleagues and stakeholders for feedback and validation if possible conduct an early test with users to gather feedback on the wireframe and identify any usability issues n b testing for me is also asking my wife daughters what they like the most in an agile environment i would give demos on a 2 weekly basis iterate iterate some more and iterate again iterate on the wireframe based on user feedback and continue to refine the design conduct usability testing with users to validate the design and identify any remaining issues finalize high fidelity design create a high fidelity design in figma that incorporates the final visual and interactive elements high fidelity design including branding elements and visuals handoff to developers document the design specifications and interactions for developers to implement the design these rules are not set in stone nor is the order in which they are executed it s also really dependant on the project the team and the way of work approval also depends on the project and the organization s ux maturity in some cases a simple thumbs up from the product owner in teams may suffice in other cases a more formal review by multiple stakeholders is wanted however it s crucial to engage stakeholders early and frequently i also consider it essential to build consensus among team members by actively involving them in the process and regularly sharing progress this could be in a dedicated chat a weekly design sync or a bi weekly demo tools to get the job done view skills
