Abstract

A deeper understanding and integration with system users' thoughts and emotional experiences are required for user-engaged development. User experience (UX) journey integrates user requirements and problem-solving approaches. The integration of data-driven techniques and user-centric approaches in software development is investigated in this study. It focuses on using the Markov chain model to predict developer productivity based on data gathered while creating personas across three projects. Organizations can gain valuable insights into user needs and requirements by conducting purposeful activities such as strength, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) analysis, competitor analysis, hypothesis formulation, identification of behavioral variables, mapping interviews, and defining characteristics and objectives. The model has predictive capabilities that allow for more informed decision-making, more efficient resource allocation, and better project planning. The goal of the activity and the model ensure the development of software products that effectively meet the needs of users, resulting in a higher success rate for software development initiatives. This study emphasizes the importance of integrating quantitative and qualitative analysis to drive successful software development projects and increase productivity while meeting user needs. According to the findings of the research conducted from the three projects completed, the proposed methods have similarities, and predictions using the Markov chain can determine the success of novice developers.

Abstract

This study explores the effectiveness of the UX Journey methodology in increasing developer productivity and self-efficacy. Materials: The UX journey, consisting of around 30 activities, offers a user-centric approach to developing solutions, with 86 volunteer respondents from 505 populations. Method: Through a comparative analysis of developer productivity metrics and the General Self-Efficacy Scale questionnaire, this study investigates the impact of UX Journey on self-efficacy before and after implementation. Results: The study's findings reveal a significant positive correlation between UX Journey and increased productivity and an association between self-efficacy variables. By incorporating a comprehensive set of activities and a user-centric approach, the UX Journey enables developers to navigate the design process efficiently while gaining a deeper understanding of user needs. The positive correlation between the UX Journey and increased productivity, as well as the relationships between self-efficacy variables, emphasize the value of this methodology in fostering practical design thinking. Implication for Further Research: While this study has limitations regarding sample size and contextual specificity, it provides valuable insight into the benefits of UX Journey and paves the way for further research. In addition, the study focused on specific design projects within a particular context, which might restrict the broader applicability of the results. Significant results indicate that the proposed method is as effective as the elicitation method in general, with the advantage that the developer can understand the needs and empathy of the users. UX journeys can enhance the design process and foster a deeper understanding of users' needs across multiple domains.
