Product Usability: Survival Techniques

Developing applications in today's business environment is
difficult. Organizations are looking to produce more usable products
with the same constrained resources: time, money, and people!

This course teaches your team how to produce a more usable product
without any more time, money, or people.  You will learn how to
build a full working prototype without writing any code, in just a
few hours, with materials and equipment you already have.

Who Should Attend:

This course is for all members of the development team. Engineers,
technical writers, project leaders, and development managers will
benefit form the practical tips and techniques presented here.
Because of the advanced nature of the material, experience in
developing commercial products is highly recommended. An
understanding of basic usability concepts is helpful but not
required.

Techniques For Complex Applications

Today's graphical user interfaces employ a variety of solutions to
help users learn and use complex applications.  This practical course
presents a wealth of insights from our research and consulting
practice about these solutions and how they can work for you.

You'll see numerous implementations from Microsoft, Lotus, and other
leading software houses.  You'll learn how to choose, design, and
refine the solutions that will help your users learn and work more
productively.  Exercises give you a chance to practice some of the
techniques discusses in the course.

Who Should Attend:

This course is for experienced developers who have worked on
applications with complex interfaces.  Although most of the examples
are taken from Windows products, developers of other GUI or
character-based systems will also benefit from the techniques and
lessons learned.  Familiarity with paper prototyping and current
Windows-based products is helpful but not required.
