Here's how you can seamlessly integrate UX into your products or services as an entrepreneur.

UX is an abbreviation for User experience, so this means that UX isn't limited to just digital products, but every product or service used by humans(users). So as entrepreneurs, User Experience plays a big part in helping you understand what your clients really need and how they'll interact with it, having an insight of UX would save you time, money and help develop not just aesthetically pleasing products and services, but usable products/services that they'll keep them coming for more.

User Experience (UX) is one side of the product triangle with the other sides being development and business. Design + Dev + Business = Winning Product. The correct solution is one that solves the users needs, is feasible to develop and advances business objectives. UX is critical in the beginning and end. We use UX to uncover user needs and uncover possible product opportunities. It is critical in the end to verify the final solution delivers a desirable experience for the user.

I agree. The incorporation of user-centered design in all phases of building is very important. This would be incorporated in all touch-points of the product’s services. Using user’s feedbacks received to also make improvements is a good add-on.

A strong foundation in UX principles is essential: ? Grasp the basics of user-centered design and its importance ? Familiarize yourself with key UX concepts like usability, accessibility, and user satisfaction ? Stay updated on the latest UX trends and best practices

User Experience encompasses many different discilpines, all aiming to improve the ease of use and increase the enjoyability aspect of a product or service. As Jeff Johnson pointed out,"One cannot design a user experience, only design 'for' a user experience".

User Research is the most critical steps in UX, Product Management, content creation or anything involved with creating solutions for customers. But is also the most overlooked and skipped step. Not because it's hard or that people don't realize it's important. It gets skipped because product people aren't patient enough to find the right users and do quality research. If you're just getting started in UX try to specialize in one problem space and start developing a network within your niche. This can be done through forums, joining masterminds or purchasing courses with a community aspect.

User research is critical for informed design decisions: ? Conduct interviews, surveys, and usability tests to gather user insights ? Create user personas to represent your target audience ? Map out user journeys to understand their interactions with your product

Independiente de si se trata de un emprendimiento o de una empresa con trayectoria, la investigación debe estar en el top de actividades que la marca debe gestionar. Conocer al usuario desde todos los puntos posibles, además de la competencia, son determinantes para ofrecer soluciones realmente pensadas en las necesidades del mercado. Invito a que esta investigación tenga una gran base etnográfica, que permita conocer la realidad del consumo y uso desde la cotidianidad del cliente.

User research is the most important aspect of UX design. User research basically means 'know your user'. A variety of research methods are used to gather insights to understand the user. One of the best method to gather user insights is observation, i.e. watching how the users' work and understanding them. User research is the only way to create relevant UX designs because we are trying to understand the user who is going to use our designs.

The best way to validate your UX/UI decisions is to test. Then test again. The test some more. Then keep testing! Leveraging best practices and making assumptions based around them is a great place to start, but without testing on your actual end users, you'll never gain deeper insights and understanding.

Pivoting is an integral part of UX design. Usually the first draft and the final output look very different and that is a good sign. It shows feedback has been integrated, implemented and reflected upon.

Es necesario implementar estrategias de dise?o que permitan la iteración constante y efectiva. Aplicar metodologías ágiles no solo permitirá que los procesos sean más acertados, sino que sean efectivos en tiempo y recursos, algo fundamental para un emprendedor. A través de estas metodologías es fácil llevar el control de esos pasos que permiten iterar y dar solución rápida a problemas que de otra forma, tomaría tiempo descubrir. Como emprendedores debemos entender que la falta de experiencia aparente puede ser algo que juegue en nuestra contra, pero el dise?o iterativo nos permite abordar problemas rápidamente aprendiendo de ellos y enriqueciendo esa experiencia.

It is easier to tweak sketches, wireframes, and prototypes than it is to tweak a product after it's launch. Iteration helps in finding what works and what doesn't work. This helps in abandoning what doesn't work before development phase leading to less tinkering after release.

Some people say that 70% of accessibility errors occur at the design stage. Accessibility is all about good design, respecting the way a browser works. The design must take into account best practices concerning digital impact, security, accessibility, etc.

Collaboration across teams enhances UX integration: ? Involve stakeholders from design, development, marketing, and customer support ? Foster an environment where ideas and feedback flow freely ? Hold regular workshops and brainstorming sessions to align goals and expectations

Es posible que en un equipo de emprendedores no se cuente con muchas personas que puedan aportar con sus ideas al proceso, por eso es tan importante aprovechar los comentarios de los clientes y usuarios para hacer los cambios y mejoras que se puedan necesitar. Creo que este es uno de los procesos más difíciles para un emprendedor, ya que el temor a las críticas duras puede llevarlo a cometer el error de hacerse el de “oídos sordos” omitiendo así una fuente inagotable de ideas para sus productos y/o servicios. El cliente siempre será la fuente de ideas #1, pero se logra con humildad y respeto ante los comentarios que puedan entregarnos.

UX leads to lower costs to the organisations. Well defined projects which implement UX are less expensive, on-budget and on-time than those that are continually redefined. Therefore it is very important that UX priciples are implemented into every stage of product lifecycle.

Tracking the impact of UX efforts ensures ongoing improvement: ? Define key performance indicators (KPIs) relevant to UX, such as task success rate, time on task, and user satisfaction ? Use analytics tools to monitor user behavior and gather quantitative data ? Conduct regular usability testing to identify areas for enhancement

Entire team has to be eduacated in UX to ensure that everybody is empathetic with the end-user and not just designing products with their own needs in mind.

Digital transformation is about changing the way we look at people. The aim is not to digitize by default, but to de-digitize. Global warming is caused by the intensity of our exchanges. We need to design reliable systems. Reliability will be present if a product does not create barriers for certain audiences. To achieve this, a team must ask itself the question of its own diversity. Being confronted with diversity on a daily basis makes it easier to take into account the different experiences of users.

Thinking in systems helps when it comes to designing user experiences. Instead of thinking of the product singularly, map out the whole system of stakeholders and touch-points (sometimes called as casual loop mapping) , gives a magnified view of all the pain points that can potentially be worked on to better the UX of your company / product.

Como emprendedor debes prepararte para la sorpresa. En muchas ocasiones estamos frente a categorías nuevas para nosotros y creemos saber todo de ellas. La magia de UX es ser capaces de dejarnos sorprender por aquello que cada categoría tiene oculto y, desde allí, desarrollar las mejores soluciones que las ideas preconcebidas no nos dejaban sacar al aire. Sorpréndase! Asómbrese! E inspírense para sacar adelante ideas únicas basadas en personas de carne y hueso.

Mi consejo más importante es: nunca subestimes el valor de entender y escuchar a tus usuarios. La experiencia de usuario (UX) y la investigación de usuarios son pilares fundamentales para cualquier negocio exitoso. Involucra a tus usuarios en cada etapa del desarrollo de tu producto, desde la concepción hasta el lanzamiento y más allá. Realiza investigaciones constantes para conocer sus necesidades y comportamientos, y usa esos conocimientos para dise?ar experiencias que realmente les importen. Al centrarte en tus usuarios, no solo crearás productos que les encanten, sino que también construirás una base de clientes leales y satisfechos, lo cual es clave para el crecimiento sostenible de tu emprendimiento.
