About This Event

In our years of consulting at Cooper, we've learned that getting the design right is only half the job; the rest is getting it built. Let our experienced design communicators show you how to persuade the stakeholders that your solution is the best way to satisfy customers and accomplish business goals. After that, we'll teach you how to document the expected form and behavior in enough detail that programmers can build it, QA can write test cases from it, and marketing and sales can start showing it to the world.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND
Product planners, developers, marketers, usability professionals, design practitioners, and managers who are committed to creating a great customer experience.

YOU WILL LEARN HOW TO:
*Target your communication for specific audiences

*Communicate persuasively to build buy-in throughout the design process

*Present requirements and help stakeholders prioritize them

*Describe an interaction framework and show your audience why it's good

*Defend your design without being defensive

*Create compelling User & Domain Analysis documents

*Construct a detailed Form & Behavior Specification that developers actually want to use

*Get the most from your precious documentation time and effort

COURSE MATERIALS INCLUDE:

*Course binder with hard copies of slides and a variety of useful handouts and worksheets

*An example of a User & Domain Analysis document

*Example sections of a Form & Behavior Specification
