User Experience, or UX, is a fashionable buzzword. Is it just a fad, or is it actually important to your project? If you have users, then the answer is yes! But what if you have no UX resource? In this presentation we will explain how the BA is perfectly positioned to take on several key UX roles, and drive towards a delightful user experience. We shall demonstrate how we have used key concepts, tools and techniques to produce valuable results.

 

Key topics include:

• What UX actually means
• The ROI of UX and why time should be invested in it
• Discover tools and techniques for BAs to apply on their projects
• See a case study of a web based business application designed using UX principles and methods

Mentoring helps an individual with their professional development and can be much more effective than training. Nationwide has recently initiated an intensive mentoring programme that focusses on providing specific results for some business analysts over a six month period. In this highly interactive session, Alex and his colleagues will explain mentoring and explore how it has benefitted them both as mentees and as mentors. After a brief introduction to the general concepts of mentoring, the mentors and mentees will introduce themselves and their experience of mentoring. You will be able to draw on their knowledge to help you understand how mentoring will help you achieve your professional development goals (whether as mentor or mentee).

 

Intel Corporation UK is hosting the event and light refreshments will be provided.
