UX & Design Strategies

A UX strategy is a plan that defines how a business intends to create a meaningful and flawless user experience for the target users of a digital product or service. An effective UX strategy helps the organization to create and operate on a shared vision of the desired state of the user experience while setting clear objectives and creating a plan to achieve them.

A UX strategy always comes on the tail of user research

With user research being the backbone of an effective UX strategy, we can ensure that we are taking a data-driven approach to the development of the product

Designing a meaningful product is one thing, but making sure this is aligned with the specific needs and goals of the business is of utmost importance for a successful UX strategy.

UX Strategy: 

  • Allows for scalability: UX team thinks beyond the current requirements and user behaviors. This means that the user experience of a product can be seamless throughout its different features 
  • Drives innovation 
  • Creates brand reputation 
  • Create a competitive advantage for the organization 




UX strategy consists of three main elements:

Vision: Desired future state of the user experience

Goals: These goals should be clear and measurable and they should be aligned with any KPIs and any UX metrics that are set by the company.

Plan: All the actions that need to be taken to meet the set goals and achieve the vision.

At first the app should ask users as to when they would like to be reminded about the meetings, because the user behavior  vary; some people might want to be reminded a day before and also 30 minutes before the meeting starts as they might have to prepare for the meeting; and some people might be just ready to jump into the meeting without any delay so they would want to set the reminder to 5 minutes. So, let the user set time to receive a notification. Once the notification is on screen; the user should be able to dismiss it or open the meetings app - this feature can be used with the slide option.
