Bitcoin UX Research Kit Documenting the Process

[mouxdesign]

Introduction

The Bitcoin UX Research toolkit is a project built by the community and it raises awareness for UX Research while making it simple to carry out for builders.

Builders need to create feasible, desirable, and usable products. And UX Research (UXR) is a practice that enables the creation of such products.

However, builders often don’t know about UX research or don’t see how it adds value, or think it’s too difficult or expensive to carry out. The UXR Toolkit solves this.

Project goals

The Toolkit accelerates the launch of usable, desirable, and feasible products and services in the Bitcoin ecosystem.

It provides users with actionable, step-by-step guidance on which UX Research methods to choose and how to use them.

We will know the UX Research Toolkit is successful if the following conditions are met:

• Toolkit users with no knowledge of UXR can independently select and implement a UX Research method from beginning to end
• The core UX Research group building the kit receives minimal questions about the UX Research methods in the Toolkit
• Product or service leaders cite the UX Research Toolkit as a contributing part of their successful product launch or maintenance

Target audience

V1 was built with one person in mind a builder who has little to no experience conducting UX research.

Documenting the process

This serves to document the process of the toolkit as it evolves and as iterations are made. It will be a place to:

• Track changes made to the kit as it evolves
• Invite collaborations and ideas to improving the kit
• Add insight into why iterations were made as well as the rationale behind them.
