7 User Integration: Processes Benefits Limits - Sources

8 User Integration Understanding User Centered Design Phase 1: Understanding Phase 2: Conceptualization Phase 3: Testing & Iteration Understand needs of end-user groups Understand state-of-the art of the technology Define target group Create ideas to fulfil user needs Develop use cases Test components or system in realistic /real environments Repeat tests if necessary Business Modelling Create business model Test business model (e.g. pricing) Apr. 16, Art and Fun of User Integration Christoph Nedopil Seite 10

9 7 Issues to Consider Before Integrating Users From Goal Setting to Ethics Set targets Specify target/user group Select UI method Recruit users Incentivize Prepare for the unforeseen Consider the ethics Establish a goal for user integration Create a common understanding within the project team Understand user groups (e.g. primary, secondary, tertiary users) Select users according to innovation phase Select UI method according to Aim of UI Users of UI Effort Individual/pers onal recruiting Group recruiting (e.g. in sport clubs) Professional recruiting Extrinsic motivation (e.g. money) Intrinsic motivation (e.g. personal satisfaction, social inclusion) What happens with dropouts What happens with accidents What happens with delays Be sure to have an informed consent Be sure to have an exit strategy for the end of the UI Apr. 16, Art and Fun of User Integration Christoph Nedopil Seite 11

10 Benefits of integrating users Different phases, different benefits Phase 1: Understanding Phase 2: Conceptualization Phase 3: Testing & Iteration Avoid misunderstandings of user needs Avoid incorrect generalisations Identify real user needs Identify market potentials Save on costs by avoiding blind alleys Understand ethical issues Utilise users creative potential Consider users experiences when developing problem-solving tactics Allow users, engineers and stakeholders cooperate in solution development Make sure that the innovation works without mistakes Make sure that its usability for the target group is as high possible Business Modelling Understand the buying process of decision makers and buyers (not necessarily end-users) Develop a marketing strategy that works with the targeted users Apr. 16, Art and Fun of User Integration Christoph Nedopil Seite 12
