“The nice thing about being a UX storykeeper we can bring in a lot of visuals. (…) That can be sometimes be part of a north star strategy. Having that strategy, something documented, something shared, a vision - this can be a light in the dark.” – @KatieSwindlerUX

"In Ethnography we don’t come up with hypothesis. We start with an open mind. We define theories." (...) "If we do product work, we have a goal. We don’t have a hypothesis, but we have question that we’re wondering about." – @rinajensen

"What are their biggest concerns? We love to fancy ourselves as great storytellers. We should think about what makes a compelling story? What are the objections people will have and what is your plotline?" – Megan Murphy about communicating a vision

@Thomas_Glaeser asked Katie Swindler on how she communicates her vision: "Know your language. Speak the language they’re talking."

#uxp21

[UX & Product Community @UXandProduct]

Are you sometimes looking for excuses to not do user research? Do you know the excuse "Not right now?" Cosima Lefranc suggests to see it in a different way "“I can do it at each stage of the product development cycle” #uxp21

“Creativity can be created and inspired by constraints. Any constraint can achieve a new way of thinking, that can bring out new ideas, that are not obvious if we are just in the purely rational world.” – @daggfukt #uxp21

[UX & Product Community @UXandProduct]

“The process matters. The process has constraints. It is constant learning. Constraints are also fluid and change over time.” – @isilfver #uxp21

"Designing for creativity is done in a way that allows anything to happen" – Melissa Pickering #uxp21
