Crowdsourcing. You may have heard of projects that assemble the work and opinions of a large group of people online, but what you may not realize is that this method actually has myriad benefits for app user experience (UX) design.
Internet platforms can be a great place to build both a focus group and a dedicated freelancer team who will help promote the final product. With all the costs associated with mobile app development, this can even be a great way to minimize expenditures while maximizing quality.
Assembling an ideal UX is a difficult task, and you’ll need all the feedback you can get. Implementing crowdsourcing into the UX development process will inevitably save time and money with a greater ability to catch mistakes from the beginning.
Here’s what you should know.
The Role of Crowdsourcing in UX Development
Crowdsourcing doesn’t just mean collecting information from a broader collective. It means working collaboratively with your potential users to build the best possible interface from the beginning.
Regardless of your project type, crowdsourcing can be implemented early on in processes like:
- Collaborative workshops
- Template design
- Bug testing
- Testing tools
