Making the samemistakes twice. • Martin Belam. UX Sofia.
My worst ever launch. • Solution: • Always test with at least one person • from outside of your project team.
Over-engineering. • Solution: • Write out over-engineered systems as • user stories and see how silly they sound.
Forget the UX of the tools. • Solution: • Treat content production staff like end users, with important needs and goals.
Forget to measure. • Solution: • Make your own metrics dashboard. • Print it out. Stick it on the wall in the office.
Pre-determined outcomes. • Solution: • Find another place to devote your energy.
Pre-determined outcomes. • Solution: • Or quit your job.
Forgetting mobile. • Solution: • Develop on mobile. • Make mobile part of your UAT.
Delaying building. • Solution: • Prototype. • On paper. In code. With Lego. Whatever.
Project burn-out. • Confession: • I have just done this again.
Project burn-out. • Solution: • Look out for colleagues. • Learn your own signs of burn-out.
The perfect project? • UsVsTh3m.com • Designed in code. • Recruited team, built & launched in 5 weeks. • Hit traffic target in 10 days. • Already done one design iteration.
