Course Overview
Data gathering and requirements discovery describes the work of a UX Designer to identify, understand and expand on the requirements of the stakeholders, survey the marketplace for current practices that best approximate the requirements so as to uncover gaps in needs fulfilment, and create recommendations to address the gaps, all within the political, social, economic and technological constraints. This course teaches the above that encompasses such tasks.
This module is part of Professional Certificate in User Experience Design.
Course Objectives
The course provides the participant with the knowledge and skills to:
- Perform the various techniques in Requirements Discovery. They include: Analysis of Stakeholders, Evaluation of Claims of current practice, as well as the broader practices of Contextual Inquiry.
- Generate UX recommendations based on processes, policies, and people via the creation of Personas, Problem Scenarios and Use Case Definitions.
- Package and present the UX recommendations within the political, social, economic, and technological constraints.
