How users adopt- a lifecycle view
User adoption is perhaps the most important outcome of UX. Why? Because users are vulnerable to products and services that do not help users achieve their goals repeatedly over time. As a result, designs that confuse, cause multiple speed bumps, or do not accommodate changing use cases or scenarios– can suffer. When a user adopts a product, it means it has fulfilled its value proposition and has fulfilled a user’s task and sustained use over time. This habitual aspect of use is what leads to good user’s adopting a design.
