Abstract: Are you a developer who has found yourself making design decisions for the product you’re building? Many people find themselves in this situation, and often there’s no designer on the project to recruit users, get feedback, and design a solution.
This workshop will arm developers with the UX basics of quickly identifying user-friendly solutions for when you find yourself in the role of a defacto designer.
You’ll learn how to quickly test the people around you through setting up thoughtful 10 minute sessions and asking the right kinds of questions to identify a user-friendly solution.
This workshop is ideal for people from the development, product, and design world who are new to UX and interested in learning how to build user-friendly features though a quick and simple process that is easy to work into a fast-paced sprint.
