Dear colleagues,
As a reminder, there is still time to participate in our workshop. The deadline for
contributions is extended until Friday, April 23 and the submissions are really
lightweight (2-4 pages position paper).
We hope that it could be of interest to many of you. The details are below.
The online ECSCW 2021 workshop on “Challenges of transferring UX designs and insights
across products and services”<https://www.ifi.uzh.ch/en/zpac/ws-ecscw2021.html> aims
to bring together practitioners and scholars working on conceptualization, maintenance,
and preservation of transferable UX artifacts within their organizations.
In this workshop, we aim on synthesizing the challenges and highlighting opportunities of
transferring UX insights while developing multiple products and services. We ask: “How can
we depart from a paradigm of designing a single product and turn to the holistic UX design
approach at work?”
Instead of focusing on a product, we call UX researchers, designers, experts and
practitioners, to center on an ecology of artifacts, e.g. a portfolio. This, in turn, may
help to improve existing work environments and to develop novel integrated work
environments, where many actors need to effectively coordinate their actions using a
myriad of tools.
That change, ultimately, may lead not only to improved quality of work and create
pleasurable experiences for the end-users, but also establish a ground for successful
company-wide collaboration when it comes to preserving and transferring UX insights and
rules.
We call for participants from diverse backgrounds to contribute to a critical discussion
at the intersection of design, enterprise architecture, product/portfolio management, and
agile software development to create a UX research agenda for designing integrated digital
work environments, unpacking development, users, and change perspectives to aid
establishing long-living UX practices that extend across projects and overtime.
