Trying something new

Working on this wicked design problem has given me the opportunity to conduct research in different ways than I have in the past. Throughout this process, I challenged myself to broaden my scope of tools and use different methods of data gathering and research methodologies.

Miro

I used Miro (formerly RealtimeBoard) as the main driver to house and store all the information I gathered. Within Miro, I was able to document and visualize everything in one place. I had used this tool in the past but never as the central repository to collect everything. It was helpful and easy to use. I plan on using it more extensively in my full-time work.

Lean UX Surveys & Affinity Diagrams

I had used these frameworks in the past to better understand the problems I was designing for, but never to the extent, I had during this class. In the past, I was part of a team that split up the work and contributed towards a single set of personas, diagrams, and surveys. This project gave me the opportunity to be responsible for all aspects of generating data for these diagrams. I gained a new respect for their use and power in helping guide a designer towards a relevant solution.

2020 has been strange time for human kind, and to be honest, this is the first week I started to feel back in tune with my energies. 🕉️ ________________ My productivity is currently all over the place, but I'm getting things done for the most part! ☑️ I'm about to turn in the first part of my UX Research project 📊 in tomorrow, so far I feel accomplished and confused all at the same time. 😵 Regardless I am truly enjoying the research aspect of UX. 😄 ________________ 🔷STRUGGLES FOR THE WEEK🔷 🔸Articulating myself during a user interview. 🔸Empathizing with the user (it's harder than I thought). 🔸Remembering to ask my 5 Why's. 🔸Doubting my though process 🔸Analyzing my Empathy Map ________________ #uxrookie #uxresearch #uxdesign #uxui #uxaustin #uxstudent #empathymap #2020 #utbootcamp #austintexas #affinitydiagram #userpersona #uxuijourney #miro #adobexd #uxstruggles #documentingmyjourney (at Austin, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDC8X9-AqMx/?igshid=1ulaw1g96fvh4

After we conducted user testing and interviews, we put together all the things we heard from our drone users and did an activity called affinity mapping. An affinity diagram (the result of mapping) allows you to gather large amounts of data (issues, opinions, experiences, ideas) and organizes them into groups and categories. It also helps surface the relationship between these groups.  As we mapped the things we heard from our drone users, we saw some categories emerge: things like Tooltip issues or Zooming Controls.

Today we got to play around with @mirohq for the first time as a class. A party of 35+ students on one online whiteboard was quite interesting. 😯 _________________ This was my first time using an online platform to create an affinity diagram vs a real whiteboard. It was refreshing not having to pick up sticky notes that don't want to stick for the life of me! 😁💀😂 _________________ #savethetrees #savethestickies #uxbootcamp #uxresearch #uidesign #uxdesign #uxresearcher #affinitydiagram #userinterviews #empathymap #userpersona #survey #sythesize #whiteboard #stickynotes #insights #designthinking #uxaustin (at Austin, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCzlVcjgegE/?igshid=sy02x9qwiak0
