Agenda  What is “detailed design,” anyway?  What’s the problem  What are some solutions 2
Schedule Intros What is detailed design? Who does it? Where does it break down? Why? Break What are some solutions? How do we work within our projects? Break How does Agile fit in? Open discussion, Q&A 3
A bit about me http://www.uxaustralia.com.au/conference-2010/design-thinking-is-this-our-ticket-to-the-big-table 4
What about you? What’s your story? 5
Who this workshop applies to  Agencies  Independent UXers  Highly regulated areas: healthcare, government, military  Anyone working with distributed teams (including cross-border, multiple time zone teams) 6
Who this workshop might not apply to  Heterogenous teams  UXers who also do the front-end development of their apps  Co-located, nimble teams who don’t have a need to retrace steps Then again.... 7
8
So what’s the big deal, anyway? Determining what the problem is 9
Typical documentation approaches  Research artifacts such as competitive reviews, heuristic analysis, mental models/affinity diagrams, and personas  User/task matrixes  Hi-level wireframes  Concept models  Card sorts  And on and on and on... 10
Exercise 1: Create your own details  Look at the wireframe.  You need to let the development team know how to realize this wireframe as a functioning Web-based experience.  In 10 minutes, identify what you think would be needed. If you run short of time, circle items on the page that you would communicate.  Think how you would do this. 11

Detailed design codifies empathy. 17
Sketches provide documentation The genius in our styling department is that they not only have a great feel for design, but also for the fact that the design needs to function properly on a motorcycle. That melding of functionality and styling is what makes our motorcycles very, very special. 18
Detailed sketches 19
Embeded specifications 20
The finished product 21
Prototypes help, too 22
Detailed Design Activities  Detailed sketches  Detailed scenarios with branching  User-centered use cases  Visual design specifications  Database design, specifically, fields & interactions  Exact interaction design, to include motion  High-fidelity (and possibly evolutionary) prototypes  L10N/I14N/A11Y  What else? 23
What’s the difference between reqs & specs?  Requirements  Requirements cannot be “gathered”  Requirements are not features  Requirements are not specifications  Specifications  “Effective documentation combines text and images to describe the anatomy and physiology of a product.” 24
Who Does What  Typical roles on a project  IA Information architect  IxD Interaction designer  VisD Visual designer  BA Business analyst  PO Product owner  PM Project manager  SA Systems architect  DA Data architect  DBA Database analyst  Dev Developer  QA Quality assurance analyst 25
Exercise 2: RACI  Decide what role does which task  RACI  Responsible: Does the task  Accountable: Signs off the work Responsible does  Consulted: Provides input, opinions, advice  Informed: Consumes output & information from the team  Only 1 Accountable per task  Work in teams, then we’ll gather to discuss 26
What’s Your Definition? • My definition? A detailed design is • The body of information that conveys sufficient detail to communicate that which can be coded. • Just enough detail to enable the non-UX team (dev, biz, mkt, release) to understand the UX designer’s intent. 27

Where do they break? Why Spec need Team proximity or regulatory need (or both) 32
Requirements masquerading as specifications Traditional approach 1.1.1. The system shall allow the teacher to click a control which displays the first answer in the lesson. NOTE: Subsequent answers can be accessed by User story approach As a clinician and/or front desk assistant, I need to record the writer, provider(s), assistant(s), as well as the date and time of entry for every clinical note, so that I can maintain accurate clinical records. 33
Requirement: Turn indicators 1.3.2.5a: The system shall As a motorcyclist, I want to include the ability for the indicate to followers a changed operator to indicate the direction I’m turning so that I won’t be hit. direction of travel 34

Sometimes specs fall into the wrong hands 37
Special order 191 Major Taylor will proceed to Leesburg, Va., and arrange for transportation of the sick and those unable to walk to Winchester, securing the transportation of the country for this purpose. The route between this and Culpeper Court-House east of the mountains being unsafe will no longer be traveled. Those on the way to this army already across the river will move up promptly; all others will proceed to Winchester collectively and under command of officers, at which point, being the general depot of this army, its movements will be known and instructions given by commanding officer regulating further movements. III. The army will resume its march tomorrow, taking the Hagerstown road. General Jackson's command will form the advance, and, after passing Middletown, with such portion as he may select, take the route toward Sharpsburg, cross the Potomac at the most convenient point, and by Friday morning take possession of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, capture such of them as may be at Martinsburg, and intercept such as may attempt to escape from Harper's Ferry. IV. General Longstreet's command will pursue the main road as far as Boonsborough, where it will halt, with reserve, supply, and baggage trains of the army. V.General McLaws, with his own division and that of General R. H. Anderson, will follow General Longstreet. On reaching Middletown will take the route to Harper's Ferry, and by Friday morning possess himself of the Maryland Heights and endeavor to capture the enemy at Harper's Ferry and vicinity. 38

Integrating Detailed Specs with Wireframes or Prototypes 53
Integrating Detailed Specs with Wireframes or Prototypes 54
But...but...what about Agile? 55
Even Agile Projects Need Detail 56
Case Study: Agile and an FDA-Compliant Company “One can never get away from needing to provide 'objective evidence' of design inputs, verification & validation and design outputs, this being the bare framework of what is required by the FDA and most, if not all the international medical device quality requirements.” 57
“The Problem with ‘Quick and Dirty’...” “...‘dirty’ is remembered long after ‘quick’ is forgotten.” 58
Desiree Sy’s Approach 59
Find a way to detail your design  You can’t develop a user-centered product from user stories  You can use personas to ask, “What would Juan do?”  Take photos of sketches. Place them in the backlog.  Embed scenarios into the backlog for empathy traceability 60
Exercise 3: The Challenge Game  Divide into two teams  Challenge team creates potential probs/challenges  Solution team creates features & strengths of the product  Challenge team selects a card from the deck and plays it face up  Solution team tries to find a card that can provide a solution to it.  If the Solution team can’t play a reasonable solution card, the Challenge team gets a point. Otherwise, the point goes to the Solution team.  Work together on each challenge to find that solution. 61
Culture of Your Community 62
Summary What did we learn today? 63
“ In preparing for battle, I have always found that plans are useless... ...but planning is indispensable. ” —Dwight Eisenhower 64
So... Detailed design is...  The body of information that conveys sufficient detail to communicate that which can be coded.  Just enough detail to enable the developer to understand the UX designer’s intent. 65

  • 56. Even Agile Projects Need Detail 56
  • 57. Case Study: Agile and an FDA-Compliant Company “One can never get away from needing to provide 'objective evidence' of design inputs, verification & validation and design outputs, this being the bare framework of what is required by the FDA and most, if not all the international medical device quality requirements.” 57
  • 58. “The Problem with ‘Quick and Dirty’...” “...‘dirty’ is remembered long after ‘quick’ is forgotten.” 58
  • 60. Find a way to detail your design  You can’t develop a user-centered product from user stories  You can use personas to ask, “What would Juan do?”  Take photos of sketches. Place them in the backlog.  Embed scenarios into the backlog for empathy traceability 60
  • 61. Exercise 3: The Challenge Game  Divide into two teams  Challenge team creates potential probs/challenges  Solution team creates features & strengths of the product  Challenge team selects a card from the deck and plays it face up  Solution team tries to find a card that can provide a solution to it.  If the Solution team can’t play a reasonable solution card, the Challenge team gets a point. Otherwise, the point goes to the Solution team.  Work together on each challenge to find that solution. 61
  • 62. Culture of Your Community 62
  • 63. Summary What did we learn today? 63
  • 64. “ In preparing for battle, I have always found that plans are useless... ...but planning is indispensable. ” —Dwight Eisenhower 64
  • 65. So... Detailed design is...  The body of information that conveys sufficient detail to communicate that which can be coded.  Just enough detail to enable the developer to understand the UX designer’s intent. 65

  118. This is the best of both worlds.\nYou rapidly and iteratively create interactions, but you specify the behavior as you go.\nThis approach keeps spec close to the IxD. What’s important is that you define the behaviors as you define the layout, the visual design, and the IA.\n

  125. one approach: have the UX team designing a sprint/cycle ahead of the implementation team. Yet this approach needs to have a strong sense of design documentation, doesn’t it? Not only is the team working on the current sprint, it’s also designing for the next one.\n
