Unfortunately real people don’t RTFM  1. F != “Fantastic” 2. Easier to bug the local techie 3. Better things to do http://www.flickr.com/photos/juandesant/2320949867/

http://www.sensible.com/rocketsurgery/index.html TTYFU =  “ Usability” + Field studies + Surveys + Metrics ++ Great starting point
Unfortunately real startups don’t TTYFU   1. Lack of time 2. Lack of money 3. Too shy 4. “Launch and see”  syndrome http://www.flickr.com/photos/dunkv/97119622/lightbox/

%^&*!! WTF? Eng Product bash% man ttyfuwottyfu
Simulate a target user! - Simple & quick - Catch issues early  Not a substitute for TTYFU but a useful compliment ... Structured UX Review
Simple Process 1. Choose a Target User 2. Identify their goal 3. Step through UI to achieve  goal ( & note problems ) At each step ask:  “ What would they do next?”
User: My Mum (Mom) Goal:  I want to donate some money to my son’s sponsored bike ride Example
Step 1
Step 1 Not personalized Very wordy Buried call to action
Step 2
Step 2 Again, easy to miss  call to action Distracting animations Distracting navigation Very wordy
Step 3 Exercise for you!
Step 4 Exercise for you!
Iterative “small-n” user studies - Involve entire team - Again, start early  - Cover entire lifecycle Triangulate findings with metrics Bonus points: TTYFU hi!
Startup UX Bombs - “New Users” How to provide users  with a “challenging” first experience in 5 easy steps!  %^&*!! WTF?
Forget about how users get to your landing page Startup UX Bombs - “New Users” #1
No clear call-to-action on  every step  of the new user flow Startup UX Bombs - “New Users” #2
Provide a long, drawn-out signup form Startup UX Bombs - “New Users” #3
Startup UX Bombs - “New Users” #4 Post-signup, dump users on the Account page
Startup UX Bombs - “New Users” #5 e.g. Don’t tell user its out of stock until they checkout  Don’t do QA of all end cases in your conversion flow
Startup UX Bombs - “New Users” #5 Its not just startups who make these mistakes See  http://bit.ly/bccatS
Recap TTYFU! No money? No time? Too shy? - Start with a structured UX review - Choose target user and goal - Step through flow  systematically - You will learn loads (promise!) - Then TTYFU
GO FORTH &  TTYFU! Rick Boardman [email_address] @uxrick
