- Practice articulating design observations and user experience feedback - Develop awareness of how first impressions impact user adoption - Build empathy for new users encountering unfamiliar interfaces - Create a shared vocabulary for discussing user experience elements
Team members become more attuned to the user's first-time experience. Expect a shared understanding of design elements that build trust or create confusion. The team will generate a list of 'first impression best practices.' Increased empathy for new users will be noticeable in future design decisions.
