DevOps ICU: Improving DevOps Results by (Correctly) Integrating UX

on YouTube ↗01h 01m

" summary

Argues that integrating UX into DevOps prevents wasted builds and saves money by catching problems before code is written, using quick research like a tree test via Optimal Workshop (about $99) where only 7 of 40 participants found the correct menu — a concrete surprise that triggers redesign rather than a refactor. Recommends putting UX two sprints ahead on agile teams, prototyping and testing full workflows, and tracking measurable outcomes (app reviews, installs/uninstalls, support tickets) so the minimum viable release is actually valuable.
