@Pginer: can you provide a title and summary for this talk?

Sure (please, let me know if you have any comment):

Title. Integrating user behaviour to design better products.

Summary.

The design process helps us to find solutions that respond to the user needs. However, this process needs to rely on actual user behaviour to make sure we are addressing the right problems with the best possible solutions.

Wikimedia projects are developed in the open and they reach millions of users in very different contexts. This makes it challenging to integrate the different observed behaviours, measured actions, opinions and other forms of feedback.

After applying the design process on different Wikimedia projects, I want to share some good practices and lessons learnt when integrating user behaviour to inform product decisions, and how you (in whichever role you are playing) can help designers to better support this process.

This is great! The resulting Tech Talk should help shedding some light and definition into https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/WMF_product_development_process#Design

This talk will be on Dec 15th.

This Tech Talk has been postponed to some point after the developer summit. There is not yet a final date for this. (@Pginer-WMF confirmed.)

There will be a different Tech Talk on Dec 15th ("The creation of Histography, from concept to design").

@Aklapper We have pushed this talk to 2016 - Pau and I will set a date in the new year.
