Why? • Weak definition ofrequirements • Poorcommunication • Stakeholders lack commitment
an important part of Why UX is the solution • Starting withhighleveldesign forces the stakehholderstohavetheirprioritiesclear • Whenreqiuirementsbecomesvisual and interactive, theyaremuchbetterunderstood • Goodtechniquestohelpstakeholdersto understand theircustomersneeds and whyone design fails and another is a greatsucess
Sucessful UX activities • Stakeholderinterviews • Observeusers • First design the mostimportantflows • Test in use, early and continously • Followpatterns for detailing design
3 areas for ROI of UX • Efficiency (task oriented) solutions • Commercial solutions • Project and Maintenance
ROI types – task oriented • Increased efficiency • Shorter time to learn • Decreased user errors • Decreased costs for user support
ROI : Decreasedcost for user support ”Hidden support costs for coworkershelpingothersis estimated tobetween 6000 to 15000 dollar eachyearfor every computer” Bulkeley 1992
ROI types – commercial • Increased customer satisfaction and strengthened brand • Increased sales • Existing customers buy more when visiting the site • More and returning customers • Decreased customer support costs
ROI : increasedsales “One study estimated that improvingthe customer experience increasesthe number of buyers by 40% and increase order size by 10%.” Creative Good, 2000
ROI : customer support costs Clean, Cutting-Edge UI Design Cuts McAfee's Support Calls by 90% Software CEO, 2004
ROI from UX – project & maintenance • Savings gained from making changes earlier in the design process • Clear and focused requirements, less time spent on guessing • Reduced costs for support • Less time spent on discussing bad design alternatives • Reduced costs for maintenance
ROI: Less timespent on discussing bad design alternatives 4700 190 Applyestablishedpatterns for interaction eg”the moment ofseduction”
ROI : reducedtime (cost) for maintenance Solutions that follows a clear pattern for UI is saving money. The User Interface of software is: • 47‐66% of a project’s total code • 80% of the unforeseen fixes required (the other20% arebugs)
“The average business metrics improvement after a usability redesign is now 83%. This is substantially less than 6 years ago (135%), but ROI remains high because usability is still cheap relative to gains.” Jacob Nielsen, 2008
FUCK ROI !!! ROI of UX
1 Based on a fatalmisconception Managers thinkthat design is extra work, thereforetheyneedtofindoutifit`sworth it. “…whether design is necessary or affordable are quite beside the point: design is inevitable. The alternative to good design is bad design, not no design at all” Douglas Martin Book Design
2 Not applicable in the formal sense ROI is a quantitativefinancial approach and focus on valuesthatareforseen an easilymeasured.UX is aboutfinding new waysofhelpingpeople do whattheywant in smarterways, and changingpeoplesbehavioirs. The UXdesign process is itself a wayofchanging business.
