2007-09-28 Register using the promo code "BOXES" for only $99 (a $30 saving) at http://tinyurl.com/2ebutw Are 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? One 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 professionals 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 efforts quickly and efficiently, even when there is barely time to do anything at all. In this 90-minute seminar, Larry will share a wide range of field-proven tricks and techniques for conquering design and usability problems while in crunch mode. You will learn: + How to leverage Sample-of-One Testing to maximize the amount of valuable information you collect from just one user + 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 ingenuity + How to take advantage of the decision triage. Larry will show you how your success depends on your team's ability to identify your design's most important features and focus the majority of time and resources in only those areas + How to pare down your field research efforts while still learning everything you need to create a successful design + How to use tactical modeling techniques, such as simplified schematics for quickly capturing insights about users and their needs Register using the promo code "BOXES" for only $99 (a $30 saving) at http://tinyurl.com/2ebutw 306 User Interface Engineering asks Larry Constantine to share his proven techniques on how to conduct quick and efficient design and usability efforts with limited time, budget, and resources. 2007-09-27 true http://www.uie.com/events/virtual_seminars/usability_under_pressure/ http://events.boxesandarrows.com/events/306 application, applications, budget, constantine, crunch, deadline, decision, decision triage, design, designer, developer, larry, launch, limited, manager, mode, modeling, of, one, problems, product, professional, resources, sample, sampleofone, september, site, software, software for use, tactical, team, techniques, testing, time, timeboxed, triage, usability, use, web, website 2007-09-28 Register using the promo code "BOXES" for only $99 (a $30 saving) at http://tinyurl.com/2ebutw Are you facing an aggressive deadline for your web site or product launch?

It can be used to empower amazing start ups or it can be a tool of destruction and obsession. This workshop will help you understand how to use the community as a tool and what is required to sustain a growing community. A vibrant community is a living thing that requires nurturing. By the end of this workshop, you should be able to define your community, how to encourage interaction and understand the life-cycle of a community member. If you believe that having a community is CRITICAL to the success of your enterprise, this is where you should be. Also, be forewarned: Your instructor will probably make fun of you in front of others.
