How to generate UI/UX requirements

Self enrolment
introduction to Jira - training session by ENVRI-Hub NEXT

Monday, 9 December 2024, at 10:00 CET

The ENVRI-Hub development managed by the ENVRI-Hub NEXT consortium entails both evaluating and consolidating existing ENVRI-Hub demonstrators, while also, in parallel, generating user needs and establishing requirements for new ENVRI-Hub use cases, including their integration.

This training session introduces ENVRI-Hub developers and ENVRI-Hub service owners to the concept of user personas, the definition of generative and evaluative user research, and their different scope. In the second part of the training session, a hands-on exercise will provide participants with practical tips on how to run a user interview and collect actionable insights.
