Experience management is about combining experience data (x-data) with operational data (o-data) to optimize every experience that matters in the organization, from the customer journey to an upgrade of your IT systems. In this short keynote presentation from the SAP Festival in Brussels, I give examples of real-life organizations that are using X+O data to listen, understand, and act on business opportunities to fix the “experience gaps” that permeate modern life.

For organizations that wish to leverage advanced analytics, the first order of business is to evaluate the maturity of the advanced analytical culture within the organization and among its users and decide whether the entire team is ready to take on the task of accurately analyzing business results, and planning and making course corrections on a daily basis.

“Is my prototype testable?” It’s a frequently asked question when running usability studies with a prototype that isn’t fully functional. The rule of thumb is the more complete the prototype, the better. I’ve run usability testing for over eight years now, and I keep reviewing prototypes that are quite limited. Despite that, some professionals new to UX research expect many insights to validate the design hypothesis based on just a few pages.

Whether you fall into one of these extremes or somewhere in the middle, you’re responsible for collecting and maintaining consumer data.

The unpleasant truth is that Agile has become a commodity. Everywhere you turn, well-intentioned Agilists are having the same old tired conversation about implementing a certain set of practices or flipping the culture and the mindset of your organization. Everyone is offering training, pushing a framework, or selling a tool. The thing that no one wants to admit is that frameworks, tools, and training—they’re insufficient.

While those things might be necessary, on their own they don’t provide true value to your organization.

Split the Product Backlog. Faced with an overly long and detailed product backlog, investigate if it does describe one cohesive product. Over time, products can serve an increasingly heterogeneous market and provide a large number of different features, some of which may not be used by all users. If that’s the case for your product, then reduce the product backlog size by unbundling one or more features and releasing them as products in their own right, like Facebook did with Messenger in 2014.
