About this video:

In this animated video Dr. Susan Weinschenk demonstrates how user centered design results in significant return on investment (ROI).

Transcript:


User experience is the science and art of designing a product like a website or a software application so that it's easy to use. So that it fits the expectation that the user has for it, and so that it meets business goals.

There's a whole methodology around designing a user experience, and sometimes people ask me is it worth it to do all that work to design a user experience?

So let's talk about the return on investment, or ROI, of doing user experience work.

IEEE is a professional organization that puts out reports and does research for programmers, developers, and engineers, and they put out an article called "Why Software Fails".

Here's some interesting data from that article.

They estimate that the amount of money that is spent worldwide in information technology is estimated at one trillion dollars a year. The percent of projects that are abandoned because they are hopelessly inadequate is up to 15 percent of all projects.

The percent of revenue that goes to the IT group is five percent of a company's total revenue and up to ten percent if it's a financial or telecommunications company.

The amount of time that programmers spend on rework that is actually avoidable is 50 percent of their time.

The cost of fixing an error after development is 100 times that of fixing an error before development of the project is completed.

Of the top 12 reasons that projects fail, three of the top 12 are directly related to what we would call user experience or user-centered design work, and those three are badly defined requirements; poor communication among customers, developers, and users; and stakeholder politics.

So the kind of work that, that user experience professionals give, stakeholder interviews, user research, user testing, user centered design.

These are all things that can fix at least three of those 12 reasons why software fails.

You actually can calculate the savings or additional revenue or benefit that you get from approving your user experience in the product.

Note from Ryan Lewis:

It seems like when a music video comes out, the title that receives all of the credit and travels with a film is that of the director. It's as though the director is the "artist" or "creator" of the music video, when in reality a music video is first a written treatment, produced (putting together ingredients like actors and locations), shot and directed, cut on the editing board and finally color graded. The music might be fine tuned and scored specifically for that film. There are so many variables that are completely equal if not sometimes more complicated than directing, it's a shame that so much credit comes down to whoever fulfills that position. A director wouldn't have shit to direct without a producer. A producer would have nothing to produce without a writer, and so forth.

For our team, I think it's even more complicated because roles tend to cross over. We simply don't work within the conventional hierarchy of the film industry (director, producer, etc.) Sure, people have concrete pre-defined roles based on their expertise, but our team has the remarkable ability to wear multiple hats. Can't Hold Us was a video that showcased this well.

After three months of shooting, finally getting to those last few frames where you reveal the credits, it's a tense moment. There isn't exactly a sensible way to do it, if we're trying to fit people into classic film roles. It leads me to the point that although we do our best to give people titles, this was a video fully created by seven individuals at the forefront. Take any of those people out of the equation, you'd be watching a very different video. I write this in hopes that you don't fall under the illusion that one person creates a music video, particularly at the Macklemore camp. We are constantly challenging and enhancing each others ideas and I take pride in believing that's the reason we make great videos. - Ryan Lewis

Can we go back, this is the moment
Tonight is the night, we'll fight till it's over
So we put our hands up like the ceiling can't hold us
Like the ceiling can't hold us

What motivates us to work? Contrary to conventional wisdom, it isn't just money. But it's not exactly joy either. It seems that most of us thrive by making constant progress and feeling a sense of purpose. Behavioral economist Dan Ariely presents two eye-opening experiments that reveal our unexpected and nuanced attitudes toward meaning in our work. (Filmed at TEDxRiodelaPlata.)

تورو دوست دارم
مثل حس نجیب خاک غریب

تورو دوست دارم
مثل عطر شکوفه های سیب

تورو دوست دارم عجیب
تورو دوست دارم زیاد
چطور پس دلت میاد منو تنها بزاری

تورو دوست دارم
مثل لحظه ی خواب ستاره ها

تورو دوست دارم
مثل حس غروب دوباره ها

تورو دوست دارم عجیب
تورو دوست دارم زیاد
نگو پس دلت میاد منو تنها بزاری

توی آخرین وداع
وقتی دورم از همه
چه صبورم ای خدا
دیگه وقت رفتنه

تورو میسپرم به خاک
تورو میسپرم به عشق
برو با ستاره ها

تورو دوست دارم
مثل حس دوباره ی تولدت
تورو دوست دارم
وقتی میگذری همیشه ازخودت
تورو دوست دارم
مثل خواب خوب بچگی
بغلت میگیرمو میرم به سادگی

تورو دوست دارم
مثل دلتنگی های وقت سفر
تورو دوست دارم
مثل حس لطیف وقت سحر
مثل کودکی
تورو بغلت میگیرمو
این دل غریبمو
با تو میسپرم به خاک

توی آخرین وداع
وقتی دورم از همه
چه صبورم ای خدا
دیگه وقت رفتنه

تورو میسپرم به خاک
تورو میسپرم به عشق
... برو با ستاره ها
