Top 7 UX Trends in 2024
We start with Fabrity's blog article, in which the author lists seven key trends in the area of UX that are worth watching in the coming year. Not surprisingly, AI's growing role in interface design — it is projected to be a key factor in improving the personalization of user experiences. Another important element is rightly the growing popularity and necessity of designing for diverse social groups. The author also points out the importance of close collaboration between UX and analytics teams to better understand and meet user expectations and highlights the importance of ethics in design, encouraging the creation of products that respect user privacy and are socially responsible.
Agile and UX approach
UX for the Masses published the text, in which he confronts and identifies several key errors in agile practices that can negatively affect the user experience. For example, the text calls into question the tendency to look for one universal designer/researcher instead of specialists. Instead, it is recommended to create teams of different specialists, which better respond to parallel design requirements. Attention has also been drawn to the error of planning only one sprint forward, which can lead to short-sighted decisions and the accumulation of project debt. Instead, teams should have a clear goal for the next 3-4 sprints and determine how they fit into the overall vision of the product.
