Lesson Info

14. User Story Introduction

How do you develop a user story in a way that easily translates to the creation of information architecture, or site maps and user interface, whether for web design or mobile apps? How do you use customer profiles to craft a user story? Jose introduces a three-part process to create a user story: Find out, Engage, and Return.

Lesson Info

User Story Introduction

User stories so that's our putting those into motion motion this is something also that a lot of people that I know that our watching this or they're going to be watching this really want and you know there's a lot of ways of doing use your story you know, customer journeys there's empathy maps there's all these you know there's all these layers look that's all great there's nothing I'm doing these specifically with the mind set up what am I going to sketch? I'm at the end there right here I'm doing it with the end in mind so imagine and I'm gonna start showing you a little bit of the magic imagine you're a little bit of tape imagine this first so that's my user story template right there oh actually I'm doing this backwards I'm gonna switch these right here the exercise after use their stories is we're gonna put the user story into an actual screen um and the screen can represent one state and we can new multiple screens to represent a story. I don't think we're going to get through a...

lot of these um but if we get through a lot of use for stories to me they're the equivalent of the sketch almost like I can easily sketch something out after having used her story so it's for the exercise here I'm looking I'm thinking about the end, which is what the screen is going to look like? What are the steps? How doesn't use her? Find out it's not gonna make it into the screen, but there might be aspects of it like share like if somebody shares this user found out about it from somebody who shared it very specifically, we're going to be using the customer profiles that we have. We have one too, and there's a third hit in here somewhere, so you want to surface them and you want to use them as your guide. So in the room, when you're facilitating this, a lot of your work is going to be like doing this, handling the paper, uh, it's better to do it on these or post it notes than to do it on the white board. If you do it on the white board, you erase it, and then you take a photo, and then you have to reference it so you can actually lay these out when you're doing facilitation that goes from customer profiles and priorities to sketching that's rare, and the one thing we haven't done is a site map for the existing product, and I have printouts of the existing product when we might need to do that, but let's go into the customer stories first, so we had the millennial mom she's very mobile centric, so we could probably use her as um one of the early ways one of the early ones for doing so I'm gonna put this up here so frequent feed uh uh um adapting to age access smart feed mode um self learning playlist, et cetera she also has she grew up with tech she's a digital native she has a lot of devices consumes a lot keeps a pipeline full there's the influence from her peers where is she likely to find out about on facebook boom okay. And the name emma is finn avery my way this slot is for a little bit of an apathetic look your smile all right find out she finds out finds out about uh smart feed from facebook now ah friend posted yes a post lets give it context from a friend what was it exactly like? Was it a shared was it that the friend did something on smart feed? Was it an article? Was it a piece of content? Shared a playlist things that were great the playgroup next thursday friend shared a playlist that already goes into the playlist kind of concept both on the mobile but in general as ah I love the concept maybe gave a testimonial alongside like loving, loving this new easy way to find content again that we can build that any even as a feature weaken say share playlist tell us what you think post on facebook so we're prompting the request for the testimonial and the sheriff wade even incentivize it maybe even referenced at the other mom says hey I saw this on a mommy blogger and I've been testing it out and it works just great boom so even referencing to the source now we're getting a super like you know ref meta here but I like it so reference source well maybe actually she posted it so that's that's an interesting thing we would have to coordinate with the mommy bloggers so she posted it on facebook so the feature of two post is usually just from a block now if we're controlling the feature in its on an app we could then use for the referent we can ask for the reference etcetera so there's also the ability to put multiple we're gonna put multiple ways of finding out it's a front set up that whole play group as her network on smart feed and so everybody's coming over and so she's just pushed it out to her network and said here's the play list of games we're gonna have come on over so she's got a network finn is one of her friends coming over and she's gonna now download that so let's put a pin right there that gave me another idea it could be that you actually have the control is all the way to the uh to the apple to the site where it's an in bed you can embed the playlist into the blawg. So now you have control over the sharing options, gets an embedded module boom. There you have already, like a viral mechanism one how to spread playlist. That could be the whole damn product. By the way, it could be just sharing playlists of you know that thing's and radiance, etcetera.

Love this class and so glad I bought it. I'll be able to refer back to his lessons again and again. His work with an actual client is what really sets this class apart, having provided specifics on how to ask a client a question, how to get them down to what matters most and on and on! Can not express how valuable this will be for me. Thank you Jose and thank you Creative Live!

Great session. Covered a lot of information. Only suggestion for improvement was at the end, just giving a quick overview of the entire process again just to tie it all back together. Awesome info, well articulated, and very inspirational. Thank you!

Have already recommended to a few colleagues. I am web designer, but I see great crossover benefit in strategizing with my web design clients. p.s. I was thinking that a Smart Feed rating could become a standard used by Rotten Tomatoes, Netflix so it would gain more power as being ubiquitous and useful.
