About Mission UX
Systems and equipment that operate within extreme environments, where mistakes are costly and safety is crucial, require unique considerations. Mission UX is designed to bring UX best practices to the forefront of Defense. This one-day event offers a unique opportunity to learn from UX experts serving top-tier industry clients and leading UX practitioners across organizations and agencies in the DoD. Participants will gain new skills, tools, and knowledge with immediate applicability to enhancing mission-critical systems and services for warfighters.
WHO
This is a Distribution A event for individuals in product roles on defense projects, and those interested in UX and the role it plays in product’s success.
WHAT YOU’LL LEARN
You will walk away from the day understanding how to justify the investment in HCI, Human Systems Integration, UX, and Usability, as well as gain working knowledge of user-centered design techniques for how complex problems are solved commercially and how to apply this thinking to your own mission-critical work. Due to the classified nature of defense work, best practices and examples will be shared in the context of other high-stakes industries like medical, cybersecurity, and automotive.
AGENDA
Action-packed day delivering 30-minute talks to maximize your takeaways. This year’s topics explore: how to justify the investment of HSI and UX work for greater ROI, designing user-centered systems around your constraints, defining a balanced approach to a product with or without user feedback, methods for identifying user requirements, and more.
