Mobile apps that do not behave as expected make users feel inept, even when they accomplish the tasks for which the apps were intended. Alternatives are usually a click (or a tap) away, and where they are not, competitors or citizen developers will create them.

It’s no longer enough to build apps that “work.” – they must match the expectations and mental models of the people who use them.

An understanding of those mental models and the basic UX techniques makes for applications that users find appealing, productive and praiseworthy.

Discussion Topics:

  • The attributes of a great UX
  • Common practices among organizations building great mobile apps
  • How UX practices can be implemented as part of development methodologies
