UX in ‘practice’ for starters—A guided and simplified approach to live projects in the industry

Abstract

This paper outlines, in a very comprehensive way, a guidance based articulation to help fresh designers transition into a professional user experience (UX) designer, in a project driven organization. It aims to bridge the gap by providing three-fold directions honed after substantial trials and abstraction: (a) Projects-To understand the bigger picture of a project lifecycle and see how the design process aligns across the overall project timeline. (b) Design Process- Every designer follows a process, but how can that be streamlined into a coherent way of working. This direction provides an easy guided compilation of steps by translating the process into tangible action points (c) Quality-How can we measure and quantify design output? What ensures quality? This direction provides a set of metrics across process, communication and product by asking meaningful questions in order to evaluate design outcome.
