How do you handle UX tool changes?

Sometimes, you don't need to "switch" to a design tool forever, but when it involves a UX tool that impacts the entire design team, there needs to be a discussion. 1. Weigh the pros and cons of the new UX tool. 2. Compare it to the current tool your design team is using. Compare the features, ease of use, and cost. 3. Discuss the changes with the design team and have them experiment with the new design tool. Ask for their feedback. 4. Make a plan to convert designs to the new tool if it's necessary. 5. Learn the new UX tool. Hold design discussions with your team 6. Set a deadline for all designs to transfer to the new UX design tool.

Transform your UX toolkit with the finesse of a performance. Assess, set objectives, and research new tools for an innovative upgrade. Pilot programs and user training are rehearsals for a seamless transition. Foster open communication, address concerns, and migrate data with precision. Celebrate successes and iterate for ongoing improvement. Document the journey for continuous support and monitoring. Watch your UX evolve, turning each tool change into an opportunity for extraordinary creation.

Handling UX tool changes: - Explain business reasons - cost, integration, etc. Gets buy-in. - Map current workflows and assets that will be impacted. - Give extensive training and support. Appoint power users as coaches. - Pilot new capabilities first, not lift-and-shift. - Communicate timelines, especially for transition periods. - Accept some productivity dips initially. Adjust roadmaps if needed. - Streamline workflows, but expect resistance. Change is hard. Being transparent on motives and providing strong change management smooths progress during transitions.

Assesing the new tool is an important aspect. We assess it comparing with the existing tool and evaluate whether it is solving the problems that existing tool is having or its having great features that escalates the quality of our project.

Assessing a UX tool change involves evaluating its impact on my workflow, considering user-centred features, and weighing the learning curve. I'll also explore its design capabilities, integration potential, and collaboration features for my team. Financial implications and long-term suitability are essential, as well as seeking feedback from experienced peers. A thorough evaluation will guide me in deciding if the new tool aligns with my design process and boosts productivity

Papel y lápiz (o boli). Estas son las mejores herramientas de UX que puedes aprender. Escribe qué quieres contar a una persona que visita tu página o app. Escribe cómo será ese flujo por donde quieres que pasen las personas en tu producto / servicio / experiencia. Escribe el discurso que quieres que alguien asimile en una landing. Escribe cómo quieres que sea el onboarding que tienes que dise?ar. Y luego ya lo digitalizas, o lo pintas, o lo transformas en un diagrama usando la herramienta que sea. Escribir en papel, a mano, es un ejercicio súper bueno para la mente, y hoy en día, más que nunca quizás, necesitamos ejercitar la mente. Además, si lo haces, el resto del proceso de dise?o será mucho más fácil.

There may be hidden features in a tool we don't know or haven't explred yet but may be used by our collegue efficiently. For example, when I was exploring auto layout feature in figma, I missed to explore the absolute position feature which I got from my one of my collegue. Learning a tool and sharing its experience with any one can improve the efficiency of using that particular tool.

More tools nowadays apply a "Jakob's Law" of sorts with their interfaces - meaning they work as similarly as possible or resemble other similar tools. This makes onboarding easier for those who already have previous experiences with related tools. Knowing what you want to achieve will help you learn the tool faster by identifying cues or patterns you are already familiar with in order to start creating and experimenting. Additionally, understanding the possibilities offered from features in previous tools will ensure you actively look for the required solution in the new tool.

When looking to the perspective of why we are using a particular tool, it focusses on flexibility and efficiency of use. While execution of the processes the tool should bridge seamlessly with evaluation process so that the target of achievement with that particular tool is fulfilled. In short, the tool which we use to build ux should have a good ux to minimise the efforts of a ux designer

The 80:20 rule reminds us that "80% of the people often use 20% of a sofware's features; and hardly ever use the rest". This may occur due to a particular performance metric mindset in a business that prioritises adding new features over ux, resulting in a "feature creep" design. A tool is just a means to an end and not required to be "mastered" in the sense of knowing how every single feature works. It follows that proficiency is best measured by the ability to complete job-relevant tasks and the time it takes to achieve them. A broad knowledge of the software's capabilities is useful in order to unlock greater creativity and possibilities; if those capabilities are in line with what users actually need.

We assume this could be the best. That may not be the best. There might be perspectives which will be available only after user testing. This improves the ux further

Feedback is your best ally to keep improving: - Ask fellow designers to openly criticize your assets. - Listen actively, be assertive, and don't take it personally. - Share your knowledge: explain the problems you faced. - Explain the design decisions you had to take to solve these problems. - Start again

Sé que aquí puedo parecer no del todo objetivo. Pero aprender acerca de la psicología de las personas, de su comportamiento, de las reglas que afectan a nuestra mente, creo que es una habilidad esencial de toda persona que se dedique al UX. Conocer los atajos mentales, las heurísticas y los sesgos cognitivos que tenemos realmente marcan la diferencia. Hay que pensar que como personas de Dise?o UX, queremos lograr la mejor experiencia para alguien. Pero si esas personas a las que tratas de ayudar, deciden a través de ciertos principios psicológicos, no conocerlos puede hacer que no logres una experiencia realmente buena y que de verdad ayude.

Evolution of UX tools is constant. As UX designers we need to enjoy the travel with this journey of evolution by learning and growing with it. Gaining knowledge and mastering new tools open doors for new possibilities and opportunities which improves our efficiency, process and approach towards crafting the delightful and usable products

Creo que la mejor y mayor herramienta de Dise?o UX es nuestra mente. Pensar. Lo que ocurre es que pensar cuesta esfuerzo y energía. Entonces siendo conscientes de esto, tenemos que buscar los espacios y momentos para hacerlo. Y pensando se descubre. Se cuestionan las cosas. Hay que abrazar la incertidumbre en un momento temprano de un proyecto, y en esa incertidumbre ir hacia delante y hacia atrás sin miedo, tener un pensamiento lateral, y tratar que no nos agobie esta incertidumbre inicial. Cuando te acostumbras a este enfoque, es realmente útil y efectivo.

Ux Design is continously evolving field which us very much aligned to its users where they always try to use latest and efficient technology. Now as a Ux Designer, I use these tools as a part of my Ux processes. First You become a Ux designer and as a part of it we usebtgose tools and its not like we will become a ux designer because we have learnt that tool. So even though the existing tools gets replaced its our duty to explore it and use the tool for maximising the efficiency of our ix processes.
