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 pa
 rt of the job. Let our experienced designers show you how to persuade stake
 holders that your solution is the best way to satisfy customers and accompl
 ish business goals. After that\, we'll teach you how to document the expect
 ed form and behavior in enough detail that engineers can build it\, QA can 
 write 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 p
 ersuasively to build buy-in throughout the process
\n    * Present requirem
 ents and help stakeholders prioritize them
\n    * Describe an interaction 
 framework and show your audience why it's good
\n    * Defend your design w
 ithout being defensive
\n    * Create compelling User & Domain Analysis doc
 uments
\n    * Construct a detailed specification that developers actually 
 want to use
\n    * Get the most from your documentation time and effort
