User Experience Research at Google in NYC: Methods & case studies
First, the speakers will present a summary of Google's UX design & research process in NYC. Then, they will highlight the following two case studies:
Case study: "Using Metaphors to Communicate Research Results with Impact"
Molly Stevens will discuss how using a metaphor helped engineering understand the social dynamics of a b2b application. This caused them to fundamentally rethink the prioritization of features and some of the basic interactions.
Case study: "Getting on the bandwagon: Critical roles in online collaboration"
The biggest predictor of success is how software supports underlying relationships among group members. Not all collaborators are created equal; Michelle Lee will explore critical roles & implications for design using Google Docs as a case study.
Speakers: Molly Stevens and Michelle Lee, Google's User Experience team. Both work in the NYC office.
