Salesforce Updated User-Experience-Designer Exam Questions and Answers by cyrus

 A sales rep who owns an opportunity record will have read-only access to the related account record, if the organization-wide default for the Account object is private. This is because the opportunity owner is automatically granted read-only access to the account that the opportunity is associated with, regardless of who owns the account. This is called implicit sharing, and it is a built-in feature of Salesforce to ensure that users can access the data they need to do their work. However, the opportunity owner will not be able to create, edit, or delete the account record, unless they have other sharing mechanisms that grant them higher access, such as role hierarchy, sharing rules, manual sharing, or View All or Modify All permissions. References:

 The two Salesforce features that should be suggested to improve the end-user experience are:

• Favorite the often-used object. This feature allows the users to bookmark the object’s tab and access it quickly from the Favorites menu in the header. This way, the users do not have to search for the object in the App Launcher or switch to a different app to use it.
• Personalize the navigation bar. This feature allows the users to customize the navigation bar in their Lightning app by adding, removing, or reordering the items. This way, the users can add the object they often use to their navigation bar and access it easily from any page in the app.

When interviewing or surveying users, the UX designer should be aware of the following response biases that can affect the accuracy of the data collected:

• Social desirability bias: This is the tendency of respondents to answer questions in a way that they think will make them look good or conform to social norms and expectations. For example, when asked about their purchasing habits, respondents may underreport their spending on luxury items or impulse buys, or overreport their spending on charitable causes or environmentally friendly products. Social desirability bias can be reduced by ensuring anonymity and confidentiality, using indirect or less sensitive questions, or using implicit measures12.
• Recency bias: This is the tendency of respondents to recall and emphasize the most recent events or experiences, rather than the ones that occurred earlier or more frequently. For example, when asked about their purchasing habits, respondents may base their answers on their last purchase or the last month, rather than their average or typical behavior over a longer period of time. Recency bias can be reduced by using specific and clear time frames, using multiple sources of data, or using longitudinal methods34.

 Human-centered design is a practice where designers focus on people and their context, and seek to understand and solve the right problems for them. Human-centered design involves the following elements1:

• Empathy. Designers need to genuinely care about the people they design for, and build empathy by immersing themselves in the community that will use their products or services.
• Creativity. Designers need to find creative ways to solve users’ problems, and generate multiple ideas and prototypes that can be tested and refined.
• Business needs. Designers need to make their products or services commercially successful, and align them with the goals and values of the organization.

To incorporate human-centered design across its organization, Cloud Kicks should adopt the following two practices:

• Observing user behavior. Designers should conduct user research and communicate with their users regularly, to understand their needs, motivations, challenges, and goals. Observing user behavior can help designers to identify the pain points and opportunities for improvement, and to validate their assumptions and hypotheses.
• Putting oneself in the situation of the end user. Designers should empathize with their users, and try to see the world from their perspective. Putting oneself in the situation of the end user can help designers to create products or services that are relevant, useful, and desirable for them.

The following two practices are not aligned with human-centered design, and should be avoided:

• Including innovative ideas to showcase technology. Designers should not prioritize technology over people, and should not include features or functions that are not necessary or beneficial for the users. Including innovative ideas to showcase technology can lead to products or services that are complex, confusing, or frustrating for the users.
• Creating requirements based on business leaders’ priorities. Designers should not ignore the voice of the users, and should not create products or services that only satisfy the business needs. Creating requirements based on business leaders’ priorities can lead to products or services that are irrelevant, useless, or undesirable for the users.
