Experience Principles Definition
Experience Principles are guiding values, derived from user research, that define the desired user experience across all touchpoints of a service or product. They ensure a consistent and user-centered approach across different teams and initiatives within an organization.
Use this method when you need to align multiple teams around a shared vision for the user experience, especially when working on complex or multi-faceted services.
Solves: Lack of alignment between teams, inconsistent user experience across different touchpoints, decisions not being user-centered.
