Framing Feelix: MYOB’s UX framework
You have:
- Products on different platforms
- Distributed UX teams
- “Reactive” design and development practices
- Lots of smart people with differing opinions about how things should be done
You desire:
- A consistent experience for your customers
- A dynamic, strategic, and practical user experience reference source for your organisation
- Product and UI harmony
You need:
- A robust, scalable user experience framework that supports all of the above
Gerry Scullion (Senior UX Designer, MYOB) and Kate Goodwin (HeathWallace Senior UX Consultant) will share their insights into “Feelix”, the MYOB UX Framework, which was developed collaboratively by HeathWallace and MYOB in late 2013 in response to the above challenges.
Gerry and Kate will cover three topic areas, each showing examples of what worked, what didn’t, and what is currently happening to move the solution towards maturity, broader company adoption, and valued, everyday use.
The source
Kate will delve into the challenges, content, IA and technical considerations, and how the solution was anticipated for use by MYOB.
The middle and open water
Gerry will follow on with the ‘here and now’ of how the solution has played out, what challenges he faces, and the hopes MYOB has for Feelix’s future.
So what will you take away from this?
- Which order things should (and shouldn’t) be done in
- Catering for both UI Kit and Pattern Library requirements
- What conversations (sometimes difficult) you need to have
- And why – despite the challenges – a project like this is worth pursuing in your organisation
