Impact of usability on project success and products and services under development
The next open PMI Moscow seminar (www.pmi.ru) was held on July 17, 2007 . Venue: Lanit Company, ul. Dobroslobodskaya, d.5.
Theme: " The impact of usability on the success of the project and developed products and services "
Speaker: Dmitry Satin, head of UsabilityLab .
One of the main lines of human development is through technical progress, as a way to transform human nature: natural opportunities are limited, and technology gives us a chance for unlimited possibilities.
')
The central problem in this process is human interaction with technology. It should be effective and useful. It should allow technology to give automated tasks, leaving the person more time and energy to implement what only a person is capable of: creativity, initiative, intuition, emotions and feelings.
The development of new information technologies (application programs, web-systems, mobile technologies, etc.) is ineffective if it does not take into account the specifics of users, their tasks and the context of product use; if the conceptual model of user interfaces of the developed system does not correspond to the mental model of users; if the behavior of the system does not meet the expectations of users.
Even large projects using the latest technology fail on trifles. Without taking into account the needs of users, during the project, frequent and minor assumptions are taken to divert the product being developed from the goal for which it is aimed to satisfy the user and customer.
UCD (User-Oriented Design) is a design approach based on a constant focus on users (future and existing). Applying this approach reduces development costs and reduces project time, ensuring success.
product being developed by users.
The meeting outlined a UCD model and demonstrated examples of projects in which its use led to superior results.
The purpose of the meeting is to help project managers succeed without expanding the scope of the project and its budget.
