The HEART Framework, developed by Google, helps organizations measure and optimize user experience across five key dimensions: Happiness, Engagement, Adoption, Retention, and Task Success. It is used to align user experience outcomes with business goals, providing a clear and structured approach to understanding user interactions. The framework is beneficial for its ability to focus on user satisfaction and performance, making it ideal for improving product interfaces and services.
