Different perspectives lead to more ideas and designs being generated.
The User Experience (UX)

Process ID
- Identify needs and establish requirements.
- Develop alternative designs to meet the requirements.
- Build interactive prototypes.
- Evaluate.
Characteristic ID
- User involved in the development project.
- Identify specific usability and UX goals.
- Interaction.
Characteristic ID can help the designer
- Understand how the design according to the needs.
- Identify incorrect assumptions.
Consistency
Design interfaces to have similar operations and use similar elements for similar tasks.
Internal Consistency

Design Research
to understand the problem
User Research
qualitative research
product users

why do digital products fail?
- Misplaced priorities on product management and development teams.
- Ignorance about real users and baseline needs to succeed.
- Conflict of interest between development teams.
- Lack of design process.
process goal-Directed Design (RMRFRS)
Research - Modeling - Requirements - Frameworks - Refinement - Support
Qualitative Data (what, how, why)
- behavioral existing product users.
- contexts of the product to be designed.
how existing products are used?
- typical usage patterns.
- user goals and needs.
- challenges or pain pairs.
- adaptations or workarounds.
Understand existing products are
used to help designers identify strengths, weaknesses, and areas for improvement when creating new or updated products.
Quantitative Data (how much, how many)
Use data analytics to identify design problems.
- can be used in market sizing of behavioral models.
literature review type of documents
- internal documents
- industry reports
- web searches.
stakeholders
anyone with authority and responsibility for the product being designed.
key members of the organization commissioning the design.
mental model
how users think about their activities and what expectations users have about their product.
