How To Measure UX and Design Impact

How do we measure the quality of UX? What metrics to use? How to bridge business objectives and UX goals? How to remove bias and guesswork from our design decisions? And how to make a case for the impact of your UX work? Well, let’s figure it out, in the upcoming brand-new session with Vitaly Friedman. You’ll learn how to define design success, establish team-specific design KPIs, how to track them effectively, and integrate accountability and ownership for these metrics into your design process. You’ll discover how to translate ambiguous objectives into practical goals, and how to make sense of KPRs, SUS, UMUX-Lite, TPI, KPI trees, feedback scoring, gap analysis, Kano model — and how to choose the right UX research method to get better results. Roll up your sleeves and let’s dive in!

Vitaly Friedman

UX Lead, Smashing Media AG

Vitaly loves beautiful content and does not give up easily. Born in Minsk, Belarus, he studied computer science and mathematics in Germany. While writing algebra proofs and preparing for software engineering at nights in the kitchen, at the same time he discovered passion for typography, interface design and writing. After working as a freelance designer and developer for 6 years, he co-founded Smashing Magazine back in 2006, a leading online magazine for designers and developers. His curiosity drove him from interface design to front-end to performance optimization to accessibility and back to user experience over all the years. Vitaly is the author, co-author and editor of Smashing books (https://www.smashingmagazine.com/books), and a curator of Smashing Conferences (https://www.smashingconf.com). He is creative lead of Smashing Magazine (www.smashingmagazine.com) and front-end/UX consultant in Europe and abroad, working with European Parliament, Haufe-Lexware, Axel-Springer and a few other companies. He also runs Smart Interface Design Patterns (https://smart-interface-design-patterns.com), a friendly video library on UX and design patterns, along with a live UX training for UX and product designers.

Regenerative Product Design - An Ethical Framework for Planetary-Centric Design

In a world where technology shapes our future outcomes, ethical design is not just a choice; it's an imperative. This talk will present a practical Framework for Planetary-Centric Design, entirely developed by Gabriela L. Lorenz and Betina Mazzarino. It’s a framework for regenerative product design, rooted in the principles of Permaculture. Permaculture is a systemic eco-design, a compass to navigate the complex interplay of creativity, innovation, economic viability, and social and environmental responsibility. Using this framework we are expanding our view of the world as designers, shifting the focus from user-centric to a broader, holistic, planet-centred approach. This talk is for designers, founders and investors that want to create better products for a thriving world.
