Inspired by a barcamp session on Lego Serious Play, I wanted to incorporate this method into my workshops despite a lack of budget. After researching open-source materials and identifying necessary Lego bricks, I repurposed old bricks I had at home. This DIY approach allowed me to facilitate engaging sprint retrospectives, which my colleagues thoroughly enjoyed. As a Scrum Master, I found this creative tool to be an excellent way to foster collaboration and reflection in an affordable and effective manner.
Microcopy, or UX writing, plays a vital role in enhancing digital products by making interfaces intuitive, engaging, and user-friendly. This practice relies on a user-centered, empathetic, and data-driven approach while fostering collaboration and consistency. A 30/60/90 Day Plan can address challenges with content by breaking the work into three manageable phases. The goal is to improve the text, establish a foundation for collaboration, and enhance the overall user experience.
After attending a Dev Camp last year, I was introduced to Lego Serious Play during a bar camp session. Excited by the concept, I wanted to try it myself but lacked the budget. I turned to online resources and dug out old Lego bricks from home. As someone interested in Scrum and workshop preparation, I found it to be a creative and engaging way to conduct retrospectives, adding a fresh approach to the process.
To set up a UX research repository in an organization, I started by researching best practices and understanding the benefits. Communicating the value of such a repository effectively, especially to management, requires solid reasoning. Being well-prepared with clear arguments helps in getting buy-in for the project. The next step involves organizing research findings, guidelines, and design assets, ensuring they are easily accessible and useful for the entire team.
Building a UX research repository centralizes insights, guidelines, and design assets, making them accessible to the entire UX/UI team. It helps organize existing knowledge about users and streamlines sharing of research findings across the organization. Before creating a repository, it’s essential to define its purpose by identifying the organization’s specific needs and goals to ensure it effectively addresses key challenges.
Why can diary studies be useful? Why should you think about introducing them in your company? First of all: It always depends on the Research question. What else do I want to find out? In my example, I have already conducted several interviews in the company. The interview partners are always internal people who use the software on a daily basis.
