I normally form part of that majority who do not comment on posts. This time, however, I just had to say ‘thank you’ – for telling it like it is, and sharing your experience. Great stuff!

Thanks for sharing your experience, Harry–I’ve been there too and your story reminded me of similar struggles/resolutions in my own team. :)

Hey,

Can’t agree with you more – we need to share stories and learn from others!

Thank you for the great post.

This is how I came up with a local event called – UX Storytelling (uxstorytelling.co.il/en).

Will be happy to invite you to visit Israel and share a story at our next event :-)

Great article and thanks for being so candid. We all go through these failures before we come out with our final usable product so its good to see that documented. Keep it up.

Fabien, we did a competitor evaluation before the first round of testing, but I didn't mention it in my talk. It was a 10 week project - not huge by any means but still way too big to cover in step-by-step detail in a conference presentation. In many respects, it was a fairly typical project for an established UX agency. The only big difference is that our client (Dennis Publishing) was willing to let us talk about it frankly and publicly. (Huge thanks to @sifter for that and @PaulLomax for that!) The main reason I did the talk was to share a real-life UX design project story with others who have never been through it before themselves.

Hi Harry, thanks for sharing your experience this honestly. I am a bit surprised that you make no mention of a competitor’s review during your process. There are many great iPad magazine apps already out there (full disclosure: my current employer did the iPad apps for The Economist and The Telegraph among others), and my first instinct would be to have a peek and see what they do well and what they don’t.
