Summary
At our September Enterprise Experience Community call, we host a double-header of topics — “UX metrics that matter” and “The future of our conference”. First, we have Jack Moffett, well-known design leader currently at Boeing, in a conversation about identifying and advocating for measurable user experience for enterprise apps and services.
Key Insights
-
•
UX metrics teams serve as internal service organizations helping product teams define, collect, and act on user data.
-
•
Leadership often fixates on target scores like NPS, but focusing on improvement trends from current baselines is more productive.
-
•
Diagnostic metrics establish where you are; predictive metrics guide investment and feature development decisions.
-
•
Triangulating multiple data sources and metrics, quantitative and qualitative, provides deeper understanding than single measures.
-
•
User success metrics differ from usage or adoption metrics; success means users achieve their goals, not just increased usage.
-
•
UX research and analytics must be integrated early and continuously in agile workflows, working ahead of development sprints.
-
•
There is a socio-political dimension to data where cultural attitudes impact how metrics are received and acted upon.
-
•
UX influence requires persuasive storytelling and connecting design impact directly to business objectives like revenue or compliance.
-
•
Enterprise UX is evolving from focusing solely on designers to including cross-functional roles like marketing, sales, and QA.
-
•
Leadership often understands the value of UX but lacks concrete tools and processes to operationalize and scale it effectively.
