→ How to ensure productivity software is actually making you productive  – "Productivity software may not be the sexiest of technologies out there on the market, but for many businesses and organizations, they are an essential part of everyday life. But how productive are they really making us?"

→ UX Mapping Methods Compared: A Cheat Sheet  – "Designing and developing a product often involves a large team of people with different backgrounds and experiences who must be on the same page about the project goals, the user needs and behaviors, and even the component processes involved. This common understanding is often built with visualizations (commonly referred to as mappings). Mappings make sense of and describe various aspects and processes associated with a product."

→ The Ultimate Guide To Minimal Viable Product  – "Please raise your hand, if you’ve ever heard about minimum viable product (MVP) and have no clue what it is. When you talk to software development companies or startups itself, you will often hear about the MVP and Agile Methodologies."

→ Why Product Thinking is the next big thing in UX  – "Our 2019 compilation of research and stories explains what’s key to a healthier internet across five issues, from personal experience to global concerns. When thinking of User Experience, we often think of a simple, beautiful, and easy to use feature-set of a product, that makes the user’s life easier. But as a matter of fact, features are merely a small, fragile part of the product. They are only a few of many thinkable solutions for a user’s problem the product tries to solve. Thinking in products means thinking in specific user’s problems, in jobs to be done, in goals, and in revenues."
