Workshop – Earliest Testable / Workable / Loveable Product

Together with my skilled colleague Dominik Oślizło we're running a workshop on a UXDX 2018 – Main Conference in Dublin, on 4th October 2018 – https://uxdxconf.com/etwlp

Validate your Product as you Build It

With that big Product Vision in your head, you can get the feeling that you have nothing until you have everything - so there is a long path before you get there. And then - the hesitation comes to you head: is it something people will fancy? But worry not, there are a number of ways in which you can test your ideas even at early stages to check their feasibility, optimise them and ultimately: strategise the development of Product or feature.

The topics we will tackle during this session regard some practical approaches and practices you can use whenever you work with either Product or feature ideas that Users would love. 

  • Thinking post-MVP - the multifarious nature of viability and why we need a shift
  • Main risks to consider when planning a feature or Product
  • The importance of The Right Team
  • Why is it crucial to have a Product Mission & Vision
  • How to check the coherence of your Ideas
  • Small steps to prepare for a giant leap - how to validate your ideas at early stages
  • The value of strategising the development
  • Learning from Users and Progressive Enhancement

What I learnt from Revolut, Minecraft, Dice, iZettle, Zendesk and Asos

During the intensive UX tour (I have visited Stockholm, Copenhagen, and London in just 3 days), I’ve had the chance to discuss my thesis with the wider UX professionals community. But the UXDX events gave me something more valuable than just the means to satisfy the narcissistic part of my soul. It has offered me a unique opportunity to discuss daily UX battles with the top minds from the digital industry. And this time I would like to tip my hat to them. Hence the list of what I have heard and learned during my May tour on UXDX.

PJATK – UX Science Club as the best way to educate young UX adepts

After successful speeches in leading European tech hubs I found, that there’s a no better chance to educate and influence young people than going to theirs and evangelize (sounds familiar, init?) so together with Polish-Japanese Academy of Information Technology in Warsaw we’ve managed to organise an EVENT deeply touching UX Research and UX Design where I’ve presented my approach and shared an experience.

Is User Experience Research a Science?

Does User Experience Research need to be recognised as a scientific practice that is being utilised to define business models? Sounds bit strange, but if we take a look at how scientific research integrates into UX and business, then we can understand how this makes sense. User Experience research aims to provide insights and understanding into the perspectives and wants of their users through qualitative and quantitative methods. UX Research is predominantly empirical. Scientists from both the hard sciences as math, physics, biology, and social sciences like sociology, anthropology, philosophy or cognitive sciences are practicing research with the same understanding. Empiricism lies at the heart of UX – so if we can help explain patterns of behaviour using scientific methodologies, how far we are from the science or to be exact a social science?

08.05.2018 – UXDX Stockholm

The Nordics are doing it right when it comes to tech. The tech epicentre of Stockholm – containing Spotify, Klarna and King – had until recently the highest share of unicorns per capita after Silicon Valley. The region continues to be a hotbed for the next generation of startups in verticals like music, fintech and streaming. So what’s the secret of success? Speed, quality, market fit? Stockholm’s product leaders will gather for UXDX on May 8th to demonstrate how you get all three.

09.05.2018 – UXDX Copenhagen

According to Forbes, Denmark is one of the best countries for business in the world and ranks 6th in The Global Entrepreneurship and Development Institute’s “Global Entrepreneurship Index.” Join us this May in Copenhagen, the heart of Denmark’s tech world as we bring together leading product teams to share their insights on how they build a better product, and are speeding up delivery.

10.05.2018 – UXDX London

The UK’s status as a leading hub for digital innovation is as strong as ever in Europe and its tech sector is expanding more rapidly than any other industry. From problem, vision, to product launch, this day will talk through an integrated team approach to product development.

When I’ve got a chance to summarise all the thoughts and learnings from an amazing tour, I had another chance to present my ideas on home-field on UXDX Warsaw – 4.06.2018
