Last Thursday Talk März - Workshop: Measure the Impact of UX

Details
Abstract
As UXers we all want to build amazing user-friendly products that users love and engage with. Click-through rates, page views, and conversion rates are often the metrics used to measure success of a product, but does that really give us insights into our users’ experience?
In this workshop we will give an introduction to Google’s HEART framework and define user-centred metrics using the Goal-Signal metric approach. You’ll get the opportunity to develop these metrics for your own/or fictional product.
Topics covered
● Introduction to Google’s HEART and the Goals-Signal-Metrics framework
● Toolkit to identify user-centred metrics for your product
● Interactive exercise where you develop these metrics for your own product or for a fictional one
This workshop is suited for UX designers and researchers who are just getting started on implementing metrics in their products, and those who are curious how to develop and implement meaningful metrics.
