Managing the roadmap
The most understood; The least controversial
Stakeholders need to feellike they’re driving
Top tips AVOID the Christmas crowds in online shops this year by popping into town and buying your presents.
The user-centred design process First, you need a vision
User Personas
Don’t forget: Google is a user Advertisers are users
Prototype at every stage
Test.Then test again.And keep testing.
Test with real users But if you can’t find any, don’t skip user testing!
Stealing from one is “plagiarism”… But stealing from many is “research”! http://www.ui-patterns.com
