SUMMARY:Cooper U: Communicating Design course
LOCATION:San Francisco, California, USA
DESCRIPTION:Even the best design can't speak for itself. In our years of co
 nsulting at Cooper, we've learned that getting the design right is only par
 t of the job. Let our experienced designers show you how to persuade stakeh
 olders that your solution is the best way to satisfy customers and accompli
 sh business goals. After that, we'll teach you how to document the expected
  form and behavior in enough detail that engineers can build it, QA can wri
 te test cases from it, and marketing and sales can start showing it to the 
 world.
\n
\nThis two-day class will teach you effective ways to:
\n
\n    *
  Target your communication for specific audiences
\n    * Communicate persu
 asively to build buy-in throughout the process
\n    * Present requirements
  and help stakeholders prioritize them
\n    * Describe an interaction fram
 ework and show your audience why it's good
\n    * Defend your design witho
 ut being defensive
\n    * Create compelling User & Domain Analysis documen
 ts
\n    * Construct a detailed specification that developers actually want
  to use
\n    * Get the most from your documentation time and effort
