Amsterdam UX organized a workshop with the topic “User checks and agile usability testing” at us.. Anouskha Scholten was leading the workshop.
“user checks is an agile way of usability testing with the focus on creating value”
With User checks the design accelerates to a higher level within a short period and relatively low cost and little resources. User checks maximize the key element of usability testing: getting to empathy.
This workshop was for all levels of UX and Interaction design practitioners. The participants will get to know what User checks are in comparison to other ways of usability testing and practice different aspects of conducting User checks.

Due to the late arrival of the pizza’s we had to attend the workshop with a pen in one hand and a slice of pizza in the other. But that didn’t bother; everybody as enthusiastically taking part of the workshop and some even participated in some role playing in front of all of us and the beer was cold so… yes it was a success.
