Product Design Development

Question 1

Interaction Design That Benefits the User” Please respond to the following:

• Manufactures of smartphones design products to be interactive with consumers. To remain competitive, designers are focused on getting a new product to market as quickly as possible. The user experience (UX) plays an important role in product development. Imagine that you are a manager for the product design department of a company. Suggest when it is appropriate to use Lean UX and when it is appropriate to use AgileUX. Provide a rationale for your response.
• Balsamiq and Axure are commercial products that evaluate the design and development process. Select either Balsamig or Axure and describe a situation where that tool would be more effective than the other. Justify your response.

Question 2

Product Evaluation and Participants Consent” Please respond to the following:

• Product evaluation is an important step to ensure that a product will meet the quality, features, and overall design that is acceptable to the consumer. Imagine that you are an evaluator for a new product. Describe common challenges that you will find in a controlled and in a natural environment setting among users. Suggest actions that you can take in order to address or prevent these challenges.
• An Institutional Review Board (IRB) is concerned with how human participants in an evaluation are treated and how the collected data is analyzed and stored. Not every country has IRBs. Provide your opinion on how studies conducted in countries with no IRBs should be perceived. Suggest whether or not data collected during those studies would be reliable. Justify your response.
