BayCHI

Light dinner served at 6:30pm PT. Feel free to bring your own if you prefer. We strive to support both in-person and remote attendance, so we'll also fire up the Zoom at that point to support virtual socializing.

Abstract

The design and performance of a critical internal sales support app used worldwide were drastically limiting productivity. UX was added to the team with the mission to create a new version of that app to remove the roadblocks and make it “easy to use.”

This talk will trace that project from UX research to final design, discussing the process, challenges, techniques, holding space for creativity, trade-offs, and designs from the journey.

Our weekly working sessions for those in the UX Life and Careers BOF. The BOF draws a lot of interest from folks who are looking for new opportunities or those who are otherwise looking for more depth than we do in our monthly one-hour evening meetings.

This weekly session is a longer networking and/or co-working time especially for those looking for support as they seek new opportunities, hosted by Edwin.

So if you want to work alongside other folks on their UX life tasks, especially job search activities, whether resume s, portfolio work, or other such tasks, or if you want to ask for feedback from other UX folks on various aspects of UX, this is a weekly meeting via Zoom meant for support and company.

Wednesdays at 3:30pm, just fire up the the same link you'll have received for the monthly UX Life And Careers BOF.

Note that the plan is to run these every week, even if there's no BayCHI calendar event. The BayCHI calendar doesn't currently support recurring events, so I will most likely not create a calendar event for every week in the year.

One registration for that series will provide a link that will be good for all subsequent meetings and work sessions in this series.
