GDS @benholliday you can’t design away complexity*" *or, UI
can’t fix your UX
GDS @benholliday hackpad https://designpatterns.hackpad.com
GDS @benholliday the problem isn’t the design of the questions
it’s why we’re asking the questions
GDS @benholliday
GDS @benholliday
GDS @benholliday usability doesn’t make things more usable*" *without the
right design process
GDS @benholliday “usability tests …great for identifying problems [but] poor
at identifying solutions”" @userfocus - David Travis userfocus.co.uk/articles/5-provocative-views.html

us decide what to do next
GDS @benholliday use hypotheses to focus on learning
GDS @benholliday testing assumptions
GDS @benholliday something that’s usable won’t always create the right
outcome
GDS @benholliday
GDS @benholliday
GDS @benholliday Assumption" People need to see a progress bar
to help them complete the transaction." " Experiment: " We believe that removing the progress bar will not affect completion rates. We’ll know this is true if completion rates stay the same. progress indicators
GDS @benholliday completion rate is the same without a
progress bar
GDS @benholliday make user research part of your project" "
use actionable insights" " test continuously and iterate" " focus on hypotheses " " challenge and test assumptions
GDS @benholliday …so no more ‘one-off’ usability testing
