\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 with little time and money.
\n
\nIn this 90-mi
 nute seminar, Larry will share a wide range of field-proven tricks and tech
 niques for conquering design and usability problems while in crunch mode. Y
 ou 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 techniques to conduct design 
 activities faster and push your design team to the limits of agility and in
 genuity 
\n
\n+ How to take advantage of the decision triage. Larry will sh
 ow you how your success depends on your team's ability to identify your des
 ign's most important features and focus the majority of time and resources 
 in only those areas 
\n
\n+ How to pare down your field research efforts wh
 ile still learning everything you need to create a successful design 
\n
\n
 + How to use tactical modeling techniques, such as simplified schematics fo
 r quickly capturing insights about users and their needs
