I’m going to suggest a plan here to move forward and get the ball rolling. These are just suggestions and of course, everything is subject to change as we progress and all that.

**Organisation and Documentation**

- With a mind to people joining later on, and for own needs, it would be helpful to have a central location for documentation. Things like research findings, best practices (like UX Nielsen’s 10 heuristics) and the overall gameplan. I’d suggest google docs. I know some of this is has been mentioned in various threads, but it’s spread about.

- Adding some links to Diana’s post like the community values statement so we have an idea of what’s effectively the mission statement.

- Possibly conference calls so we can chat on where we’re at and get to know each other.

**Phase One**

- Documentation of any previous research or insights
- Any exploratory UXR we can do. User interviews, field research, examining anything pertinent in the academic literature
- Did we have Google Analytics? Access please if so
- A discussion about our messaging and narrative.
- Synthesizing all this
- Personas, maybe. I’ve mixed feelings about personas, don’t get me started

**Phase Two**

- User Flow
- Card sorting (we’d need around 15 to 20 users for this stat wise)
- Information architecture

**Phase Three**

- Paper prototyping, Personally I find it easier to put it on paper before wireframing
- Wireframing
- Low fi mockup

**Phase Four**

- Hi fi mockup
- User testing, around 5 to 10 users. It’s helpful to test internally first to correct obviious issues
- UX writing, messaging, copy
- Iterations

**Phase Five**

- Roll out
- Tracking analytics
- A/B testing
