Learn to Bridge Business Objectives and UX Goals
Design KPIs Workshop
Class begins June 12, 2023
Are you struggling to ensure that design decisions in your company are made based on clear objectives rather than subjective opinions? Are you looking for ways to measure the impact of your UX design and track your progress towards business goals? Join us for our upcoming Design KPIs Workshop.
In this workshop, you’ll learn how to establish team-specific design KPIs, track them effectively, and integrate accountability and ownership for these metrics into your design process. You’ll discover how shared design KPIs can foster alignment within your team and provide valuable insights from user research and usability testing.
In this workshop you’ll learn:
- The difference between OKRs, KPIs and metrics, how to translate them into clear goals for each team/department, and how to apply them to design work
- How to define KPIs that focus on user needs but also respects business needs
- How to navigate the unpredictability of technical limitations and business constraints to still move confidently towards better design
- How to build a comprehensive design KPI tree for each team and for each department
- How to combine qualitative and quantitative insights when measuring design KPIs
- How to establish ownership, accountability and buy-in for design KPIs
- How to make sure that your design is heading in the right direction
- How to collaborate with developers to drive KPIs across the entire organization
- How to use the Top Tasks methodology to understand and prioritize user’s tasks
- How to improve team culture with better meetings, time estimates, expectations management and collaboration, in-house and remote
- How other companies and organizations define and track design KPIs, and what we can learn from them
- How you can define, apply and track design KPIs for your projects and for your teams
In the workshop, we’ll be breaking into groups to work on custom-tailored design KPIs for various projects. You’ll leave the workshop with a toolbox of practical techniques and strategies on how to define, establish, sell and measure design KPIs from start to finish — and how to make sure that your design work is on the right trajectory.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you tell me more what this workshop will cover?
You can’t improve what you don’t measure. But how exactly do we measure the impact of UX and the quality of our design work? How well does it address user needs and how well does it meet business requirements? What metrics do we track? How do we translate OKRs, SMART goals and KPIs into something we can work with? And, most importantly, how do we balance short-term wins from A/B tests with long-term strategy and profound user research?
In this brand new workshop with Vitaly Friedman, creative lead of Smashing Magazine and UX consultant for European Parliament, we’ll dive deep into design KPIs, what they are, how to establish them for design teams, how to track them and how to use them to guide design decisions.
