Lean UX is all the rage for 2015, as many teams are starting to adapt it. The goal is to make evidence-based design decisions to learn from our customers, and minimize waste in doing so. But one thing we need more evidence on: if using lean UX actually works! In practice, lean UX is often a rationalization for poorly designed MVPs that fail to deliver the promised benefits. For the first half of this talk, Everett will present the fundamental concepts and techniques of lean UX, and make a case why they may not deliver their promised results. The second half will be a group discussion about your own experience with lean techniques, and whether or not you agree with Everett's concerns.]]>

0 Ui is Communication: How to design intuitive, user-centered interfaces by focusing on effective communication /slideshow/ui-is-communication-how-to-design-intuitive-usercentered-interfaces-by-focusing-on-effective-communication/31637921 uiiscommunication-140225150418-phpapp02
A user interface is ultimately a conversation between users and technology, so well-designed user interfaces use the language of UI to communicate to users efficiently, naturally, and intuitively. Focusing on effective human communication removes much of the mystique, subjectiveness, and complexity from user interface design, and helps you make better design decisions with confidence. In this talk, Everett McKay presents the core principles of communication-focused design, shows how they apply to intuitive interactions and task flows, provides some communication-based design tools and techniques, and applies these principles and tools to several design makeovers. In the end, you will have a new perspective that will help you make better design decisions more quickly and confidently. ]]>

Software prototyping is an important UX design skill that many people “just do” but effective prototyping requires crucial knowledge and practices that aren’t obvious. As a result, many prototyping efforts aren’t productive and fail to achieve their goals. In this talk, Everett will explain prototyping and its goals, compare prototyping to sketching, and explore the different types of prototyping. He will then give the eight rules for effective prototyping and show why those rules are so important. Everett will review several commonly available prototyping tools (including SketchFlow), give nine criteria for evaluating prototyping tools, and evaluate the tools based on the criteria. He will conclude by showing some examples effective and ineffective prototyping in practice. If you or your team is prototyping now or considering prototyping in the future, this talk is for you!]]>

In this talk, Everett will explain prototyping and its goals, compare prototyping to sketching, and explore the different types of prototyping. He will then characterize effective prototyping and explain why those characteristics are so important.

While you can design a good user experience by playing it safe, creating a great design often requires the courage to take intelligent risks. In this Keynote for Design Camp Boston 2010, Everett McKay explores courageous design and how courage affects making decisions through consensus and the use of data, asking questions in UI, simplicity, software personality, and, most importantly, team culture. As Everett says, “You can measure the greatness of a user experience by the courage required to design it.”]]>
