Usability awareness briefing
Getting the business benefits
Products and systems designed with the needs of all users clearly identified, defined, understood, communicated and tested as an integral part of the project have a much greater chance of meeting their overall objective, whether this is measured in terms of sales, customer satisfaction levels, productivity or sales conversion rates. In addition, projects are more likely to be completed to time and budget, without expensive last minute revisions.
This half-day briefing provides you with the information you need to understand the key principles behind usability and the benefits such an approach might bring your organisation.
Who should attend?
This course is designed for project managers who want an introduction to usability and its benefits. If your development team has little contact with end users, problems reconciling and meeting the requirements of different internal departments or your end product needs to be efficient and easy for people to use, then you probably need to find out more about usability techniques.

- Understand concepts such as usability, user-centred design and interaction design

- Appreciate International Standards in user centred design and how it applies to your business.
