“There are many common beliefs about UX design that are, unfortunately, based on casual and inaccurate observation. However, through systematically planned and conducted user research, we can see that some of these could not be further from the truth. In this series, I’d like to single out a few such design beliefs that meet two conditions: many product development professionals believe them and little user data supports them.”

“Unfortunately, in the field of user experience, people often confuse terms like information architecture, interaction design, visual design, usability engineering, and UX design. In some cases, people use these terms almost interchangeably. This article provides a lexicon of these terms and more clearly defines the role of the user experience designer.”

(Ritch Macefield ~ UXmatters)

“Bottom line: in everyday conversation, whether one uses the term Lean or Agile or What-not is probably not that important. What’s more important, is an understanding of how Agile and Lean help make traditional UX a more whole practice.”

“User experience has been getting a lot of attention these days, but many businesses are confused about the actual meaning of it. In my opinion, it can be defined as the summation of different considerations i.e. defining the information structure, enabling the users to manipulate the data/information, and communicate the different possibilities to the users.”

“I think it comes from a growing disregard for the systems nature of product design. What’s taken hold is this notion that because a user’s experience with a product is influenced by that product’s design, the experience as a whole can therefore be designed.”
