Please register at meetup.com/UXvienna.
UX Vienna Evening Meetups are on the 2nd tuesday of every month — 12 times a year. Prepare for a concentrated dose of academic insight: four students from the User Experience Management Master’s programme will present the core findings of their latest thesis research in the style of lightning talks. A lightning talk is limited to a maximum of 10 minutes.
Lightning Talks:
Collaboration between key roles in agile software projects
by Thomas Theiner, Product Manager Network Security, Barracuda
Role perceptions and communication influence collaboration between product management, software development, and user experience teams in agile environments. Based on interviews and survey insights, this talk highlights actionable best practices for improving alignment and enabling more effective cross-functional collaboration.
Co-creation with AI: The impact of AI-supported prototyping and live testing on co-creation within solution delivery teams
by Raluca Chisalita, Technology Consultant (User Experience & Power Platform), Avanade
This research investigates how AI-supported prototyping and live testing using Figma Make affect design co-creation within solution delivery teams compared with traditional, non-AI design workflows. The study was conducted within Avanade’s corporate context, involving cross-functional teams of designers and developers. Retrospective experiences of participants in non-AI workshops, together with live workshops, are used to assess how AI affects clarity and confidence in design concepts, collaboration dynamics, and the speed or frequency of design iterations.
More Relevant Search Results: How Ad-Scoring and Relevance-Sorting can Increase User Satisfaction
by Sina Benjamin Jonas, UX-Designer & Projektmanager
On willhaben’s second-hand fashion marketplace, this thesis examines how clearer, better-described product ads can rank higher in search results. It builds a simple scoring model for ad quality and plugs it into a new way of sorting the results. First tests show that the new model can increase overall satisfaction of potential buyers with minor UI and programmatic changes to the search results.
Navigating Compatibility with Confidence: Turning Technical Complexity into Usable Product Guidance
by Angelika Loidolt, Projektmanager Website, Rascom
A compatibility rating should help users decide — but when PC hardware becomes more complex, the rating itself can become a source of confusion.
Through the case of Noctua, we take a look at how a CPU-specific cooler rating system can be revised to communicate performance and compatibility more clearly for modern CPUs. We explore how UX can turn technical complexity into guidance that helps users move from uncertainty to a confident product decision.
