The Long Wow: Delivering Great UX with Every Update (3 Critical UX Questions, Part 7 of 7)

Designing and building products that deliver valuable UX — and getting that product to launch successfully — is certainly a tall task. And most teams breathe a massive sigh of relief once the product launches and that mountain of effort is at long last receding into the sunset.

But in truth, the hard work of delivering value to people has only just begun.

We've moved the mountain in launching the product, to be sure. But how do we make sure it remains valuable, meaningful and useful to people? How do we make sure it remains relevant to fend off competitors?

The answer comes in taking an intentional approach to post-launch UX. To strategically planning how the product (and the quality of the user experience) will change, evolve and grow over time.

In this final installment of my "3 questions" series, I'll introduce you to the concept of the "Long Wow," a tried-and-true method for impressing people over and over while building rock-solid loyalty. You'll also learn why UX efforts must address the ideas of motivation, mastery and reward in order to maintain and build the value in your solution.
