This document outlines a proposed service design strategy for improving government services for survivors after the loss of a life partner. It identifies four key obstacles faced in achieving customer-focused service - the silo effect between departments, processes that require decisions before sufficient insights are gathered, over-reliance on digital solutions, and restrictive laws and regulations. For each obstacle, potential solutions are proposed, such as co-creating services based on real customer insights, including sales representatives in design teams, automating processes where possible, and having patience to find the best solutions within legal constraints. The overall goals are to provide unified, coherent information and support to survivors through all life events and realize political ambitions of a society that truly cares for its citizens.

The UX framework involves understanding user needs, creating prototypes, and evaluating designs through user testing and feedback. Prototyping is important for learning early in the design process.

The goal is to balance business goals, user goals and requirements to build products that are useful, usable and meaningful for users.

The web is not a fixed width. So if the medium is fluid, should the process be fixed?

How one team melded UX with XP. Our XP team have been developing a product in the spirit of start-up and are exploring how to get the best from UX expertise. The team developed personas and learnt how to use them to shape stories - even tagging cards with persona stickers and usability testing activities. Our team is very technical and potentially there could be clashes when it comes to creative thinking so we’ve tried “design chavettes” with team collectively, deputising them into the UX team. We regularly go beyond pairing with multi-disciplinary tripling! The whole team test and iterate on the product design as well as development. We embed our hand-drawn sketches directly into the product as placeholders for features, then implement basic versions adding polish as we go, reducing the distance barriers between users, stakeholders and developers. Lean StartUp embraces a more scientific perspective to learn what works but often teams leap too fast to solutions without user perspectives in mind: the idea of XUX helps put brakes on without squelching ideas and innovation!

The document provides a list of 15 tools that are useful for UX designers at different stages of the design process, including wireframing, prototyping, user research, organizing information, analytics, and daily tasks. Many of the tools listed offer free trials. Readers are invited to provide feedback on other useful UX tools.

Mantras of startups: "fail fast", "move fast and break things", "keep shipping" - these are all great slogans, but unknown to many - these are really all about learning.

Finding what ideas were not quite as brilliant as you once thought - and finding this out as fast and cheap as possible. How are modern product teams making this happen? Where does User Experience and customer research fit in this model? Taking from Agile, Lean, and User Centered Design - this talk will go over the build-measure-learn process, and how you can start to shape your organization to move fast, without leaving your customers behind. This talk was given at Big Design 2013 #bigd13
