General
There are four (4) distinct delivery phases in which user experience designers (task based I&IT consultants) produce deliverables following Ontario Digital Service Design playbook, which outlines the standard process for user experience design.
Delivery Phase 1) Discovery:
Before building a solution, a project team needs to find out whether users need it and whether other solutions exist. The UX Designer's responsibilities during this phase are to build an understanding of the problem space/statement, the long and short-term business goals, and the user and business needs.
Deliverables:
- Facilitate the Kick-off meeting with the project team to produce such outputs as:
- Business Model Canvas
- 5 Whys
- User Personas
- Stakeholder Mapping
- Strategy Map
- Short- and Long-Term Goals
- Fears and Challenges
- Problem Statement
- Facilitate user research activities to produce such outputs as:
- User interview topic Maps, a summary of interrelated topics for the user interview
- User Interview Scripts to plan and guide user discussion
- User Interview Synthesis (collection, aggregation and analysis) of written observations recorded during each interview
- User research findings report
- Inception (Science Fair Day):
- Showcases the work and key findings from this stage to stakeholders outside of the core project team
