OH, BUT ONE MORE THING 36 Strategic UX (STRUX)
THE HEART FRAMEWORK Choosing what success looks like by focusing on 1-2 per release Happiness: measures of user attitudes, often collected via survey. Engagement: level of user involvement, typically measured through frequency, intensity, or depth of interaction. Adoption: new users of a product or feature. Retention: the rate at which existing users are returning. Task success: this includes traditional behavioral metrics, such as efficiency, effectiveness and error rate. 37 Strategic UX (STRUX)
THE HEART FRAMEWORK And applying a measureable set of metrics to gauge success Currently: 1.2 M users & 25k abandoned carts Adoption: new users of a product or feature. Task success: this includes traditional behavioral metrics, such as efficiency, effectiveness and error rate. Goal: +10% 10% of 1.2 million users Goal: -5% 5% of 25000 abandoned carts 120k new users = potential for millions in revenue, long-term 1250 more checkouts = potential for thousands, short-term Success = Therefore, if we hit those goals, we should see an increase in revenue to the tune of 125k over a comparable 3 month window and a longer term goal in the millions. 38 Strategic UX (STRUX)
SO NOW WHAT? We re now speaking the same language as our C-suite. We ve defined our critical business needs. We ve used UX to solve the problems of our business.
