The various UX roles that a person can fulfill are plentiful. Some are whole jobs, some whole careers, others are tactical roles we all move in and out of.

YOU ARE LIKE YOUR USERS

UX MYTH #4
2014 SOMIA CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION
“YOU ARE NOT THE USER NEITHER IS YOUR BOSS”
When designing, it’s easy to assume that everybody is like you.
You know a lot about your services and your website.
But sometimes, knowing too much can backfire.
It is difficult to unlearn what you know.
Stop seeing inside-out, start involving your users and get fresh outside-in perspectives.

TASK: You saw your friend’s Lenovo phone and now you are considering to buy one for yourself. Please try to buy it.

USERS ALWAYS KNOW WHAT THEY WANT
27
UX MYTH #5
4/30/14
Asking people what they want won’t always reveal the products they do want.
People can make confident but false predictions about their future behavior, especially when presented with a new and unfamiliar design.

Most people only see vanilla UX, the tactical, visible / client facing part. Hardcore UX begins with tactical, organizational activities. Big gains start coming when an organization leverages design-thinking and a user experience mindset in their culture.

UX IS ONE MAN’S RESPONSIBILITY
33
UX MYTH #7
4/30/14
UX IS EVERYONE’S RESPONSIBILITY
34
A customer’s experience is affected by the whole story: brand, campaigns, websites, store design, packaging, product design, interaction design, customer support, user community, disposal / replacement. It’s absurd to think that one person can design all of this. Good UX design requires everyone in the team to understand the users, and do their part of the job to deliver experiences to the users in an orchestrated manner.

HOW DOES UX FIT IN THE DEVELOPMENT PROCESS?
36
Research Define Design Develop
Many think that user experience design is confined to sketching the interfaces.
However, UX design is a much broader process that - ideally - starts at the strategy level and affects the whole lifecycle of a project or a business.
