Visual diary #14 | Miro
Trying something new
Working on this wicked design problem has given me the opportunity to conduct research in different ways than I have in the past. Throughout this process, I challenged myself to broaden my scope of tools and use different methods of data gathering and research methodologies.
Miro
I used Miro (formerly RealtimeBoard) as the main driver to house and store all the information I gathered. Within Miro, I was able to document and visualize everything in one place. I had used this tool in the past but never as the central repository to collect everything. It was helpful and easy to use. I plan on using it more extensively in my full-time work.
Lean UX Surveys & Affinity Diagrams
I had used these frameworks in the past to better understand the problems I was designing for, but never to the extent, I had during this class. In the past, I was part of a team that split up the work and contributed towards a single set of personas, diagrams, and surveys. This project gave me the opportunity to be responsible for all aspects of generating data for these diagrams. I gained a new respect for their use and power in helping guide a designer towards a relevant solution.
