Let’s start: What is UX?
This is an experience

And this
Also this
Yep, also this
What makes these examples good (or bad) user
experiences?
It’s the sum of its parts Let’s take a look:
Good weather + Reasonable waiting times + Safe ride +
8 loops/ 100km/h + Friendly staff = Fun
??? + ??? + ??? + ??? + ??? =
What makes this a great user experience
Don’t mess up the details…
Nice Wow Oops…
What does this mean for our web & mobile
businesses?
Think about use cases A B C D E
Know your Pield in and out!

Talk to your users

Who should do that?

Leverage state-‐of-‐ the-‐art frameworks:
What else…
