Can User Research & Usability Testing be improved incrementally within an existing product, prototype or planned service?

Can User Research &… | User Research &…

Yes, that can be possible; Annex's published work includes delivery inside existing technical and organisational environments rather than only greenfield builds. The Annex team worked collaboratively with the AER to deliver an evidence-based solution that met the needs of Energy Innovators. Throughout the development process, Annex worked with Pragma Partners content writers and created a pre-production environment where DVA content was created, migrated and reviewed using the publishing workflow. The sensible starting point is to identify what already works, what is constraining the service, and where integration or incremental change is safer than unnecessary replacement. The answer for an existing product, prototype or planned service would depend on its actual condition and dependencies.

Useful next steps

Use this answer as a practical starting point. Current scope, specifications, compatibility, availability, pricing, timing and next steps should be confirmed directly with Annex where they affect a decision.
