The UX Audit is a systematic evaluation of a digital product or service's user experience to identify usability issues, design inconsistencies, and areas for improvement.
It involves analyzing the interface, navigation, user flows, and interactions to ensure they align with best practices and user expectations.
UX Audit diagnoses current UX issues with the product or service.
UX Maturity refers to an organization's level of sophistication and effectiveness in integrating user experience design into its processes and culture.
It's typically measured on a scale from basic to advanced stages, reflecting how well an organization understands, values, and implements user-centered design principles across its products and services.
UX Maturity assesses an organization's overall capability to consistently deliver exceptional user experiences.
UX Surgery refers to a targeted and intensive review process within a development team, where we analyze and diagnose specific issues in a digital product's user interface and overall experience.
It involves identifying pain points, usability challenges, and design inconsistencies, followed by surgical-level improvements to enhance the product's user-friendliness and effectiveness.
Inhouse Focus Days are dedicated time periods within a company where employees, often from diverse departments, come together to concentrate on a specific aspect of their work.
These days are designed to foster collaboration, idea exchange, and deep focus on projects, allowing teams to align their efforts, share insights, and make significant progress on critical tasks or strategic initiatives.

A Design Sprint is a structured, time-bound process used by teams to quickly tackle and solve complex problems related to product design, user experience, and innovation. It typically spans around 5 days and involves cross-functional collaboration.
The primary goal of a Design Sprint is to rapidly ideate, prototype, and test potential solutions to a specific challenge. The process involves several stages, including problem definition, ideation, sketching, prototyping, and user testing.
By the end of the sprint, teams aim to have a validated prototype and a clearer understanding of the problem space, which can then be used to guide further development and decision-making.
A Hackathon, also known as a codefest or hack day, is an event where individuals or teams gather for a short and intensive period, often ranging from a few hours to a few days, to collaboratively develop innovative solutions, typically in the context of software or technology.
The primary goal of a Hackathon is to encourage creativity, rapid development, and problem-solving. Participants work on projects that can include software development, hardware projects, data analysis, and more.
Hackathons often have a competitive aspect, where projects are presented and judged at the end of the event. The main focus is on creating functional prototypes or proof-of-concept solutions within a limited timeframe.
