Job Title: Apptad - UX Designer - Senior
Job Location: 87 Sir William Hearst Ave., Toronto, Ontario M3M 0B4 (Hybrid: 3 days onsite / 2 days remote.)
Job Duration: Long-Term
Job Description
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 :
Delivery Phase 2) Alpha:
Alpha is about testing hypotheses and experimentation. The purpose of Alpha is to determine how to meet the user needs that were identified in discovery. This phase is an opportunity to quickly test different approaches with users before building a service.
Deliverables:
Delivery Phase 3) Beta:
The goal of Beta is to build a real service that works well for a larger group of people. The prototypes that were developed and tested during Alpha are used to build a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) for deployment in a live, user-facing environment. Executed within the context of Scrum methodology, the UX Designer performs the following Agile ceremonies: Stand-up meetings, Sprint Planning, Backlog grooming, Reporting, Acceptance, and Retrospective.
The designers are at the spearhead of this methodology, creating and validating user stories for the developers (typical) one iteration ahead.
Deliverables:
Delivery Phase 4) Live:
Live begins when the service has reached a point of maturity and all of the main features in the backlog have been built. While most people understand the purpose of live, it's not always given the attention and resources it deserves.
Continuous improvement is one of the core principles of service design and that's what live is all about. The goal is to continuously monitor, research, test and iterate for as long as the service is active.
