Let’s be real for a moment – performance is key in any given job. We can be the best at what we are doing, but in the case in which we are not productive and the tasks are piling up on our desks we might just be less useful than a hardworking yet less talented colleague. And, as you might already be aware, performance and productivity go hand-in-hand. Even more so, the levels of our performance can be measured with the help of KPIs.
Regardless of the domain we work and operate in, we probably have some KPIs we need to respect and take into account when doing and delivering our daily tasks. Think about it – even in school, we had certain target points we needed to fulfill in order to move forward. But what about the world of design? What do we need to fulfill in order to be successful UX designers? Or what about monitoring our progress or seeing the different stages we can go through?
Well, we are here to shed some light on your UX enigma and see whether or not you have set the appropriate KPIs for your work.
Key performance indicators also known as KPIs are metrics used to measure the advancements, and deliverables and evaluate the quality of one's work.
How should you track progress with KPIs?
- Follow the progress of your work – Organising your workflow creating touchable metrics and realizing whether or not the deadlines and the tasks we are striking for are achievable or not. So, with the help of Your UX KPIs, you will be able to know whether or not your strategy is adapted to your design correctly. You will be able to see how you are performing and have been doing better, the same, or worse.
- Find problem areas. Getting feedback on your work is one of the most effective ways in which you can improve your work. Assessing the quality of your UX design, getting your user’s opinion on your design, and determining whether or your design is going to generate a good user experience or not is what the right UX design KPIs will help you do.
- Mark your success to stakeholders. You can use KPIs to determine the value of your work and compare the outcome and the data from the results. KPIs can help you prove and indicate the worth of your work and mark your achievements to the stakeholders in charge.
Both key performance indicators, KPIs and Return of Investment, ROI have the ability to measure and map the success and achievement a set of goals can bring. KPIs, for instance, are used to measure and map the effectiveness of resolving or fulfilling certain given tasks. ROI, on the other hand, indicates the efficiency of an investment. The key difference between the two of them is that KPIs measure how a certain employee is performing on a given task, however, when it comes to ROI we have the bigger picture and its final result.
UX KPIs can be seen as a guide that helps you stay on track towards your goals.
