\nAre you facing an aggressive deadline 
 for your web site or product launch? Do you see the need for user research 
 but lack the time to implement it? It’s hard enough creating usable designs
  when there is ample time and plenty of resources, but what do you do when 
 that's just not an option for your design team?
\n
\nOne of the most common
  reasons designs fail users is because the design team didn't have the time
  or resources to focus on user research. To help designers and usability pr
 ofessionals deliver usable sites and applications despite the obstacles, we
  turned to Larry Constantine, author of the landmark book, Software for Use
 , to share his proven techniques on how to conduct design and usability eff
 orts quickly and efficiently, even when there is barely time to do anything
  at all.
\n
\nIn this 90-minute seminar, Larry will share a wide range of f
 ield-proven tricks and techniques for conquering design and usability probl
 ems while in crunch mode. You will learn:
\n
\n+ How to leverage Sample-of-
 One Testing to maximize the amount of valuable information you collect from
  just one user 
\n
\n+ How to improve your time-boxed project management te
 chniques to conduct design activities faster and push your design team to t
 he limits of agility and ingenuity 
\n
\n+ How to take advantage of the dec
 ision triage. Larry will show you how your success depends on your team's a
 bility to identify your design's most important features and focus the majo
 rity of time and resources in only those areas 
\n
\n+ How to pare down you
 r field research efforts while still learning everything you need to create
  a successful design 
\n
\n+ How to use tactical modeling techniques, such 
 as simplified schematics for quickly capturing insights about users and the
 ir needs
