I've tried, but can't find anyone who can come up with the numbers. How do you get those detailed number? Alistair In a message dated 7/2/2005 9:02:02 A.M....
Dear All, After hearing some success stories from Pune and Bambay group members. This is an invitation for all Bangalore members, who are interested in getting...
In the poast we have used choice modeling during the product validation stage when we haven't got down to the details yet. Once down to the level of features,...

That valuation dilemma is exactly the problem I have on one current project. The client has a long list of features for an Intranet, their priorities, and a...
... Well, of course they "should" be able to express the ROI. But I'd suggest that it's not "necessary". Given two features, if they can decide which one to do...
No question there are interesting things to do that an ROI is not required for, however, getting the customer to tell me do 'do' something is not the problem,...

Jeff, Thanks for sharing the information about the choice modeling. One of our researchers conducted a similar workshop session called "Idea Shopping" after ...

Sounds like you're definitely on the right track! ... I'm an interaction designer on various development teams, each of which typically consists of a "product...
I received this interesting question about use cases, personas and usability, which I think is relevant to this august body of thinkers / doers. I stripped off...
Alain points to one of the difficult aspects of design--it takes place on so many levels. "Designers" tend to focus on one aspect, one element, one medium, one...

... It's right and fitting that you mention this Alain, because it really is a difficult problem and is anything but trivial. Unfortunately it is likely to be...
... I don't think the stories are all apocryphal. One of my clients, and old-style manager from a marketing background does that. He has one team on an old...

I will tell you too, Alain, that we interaction designers often feel a sense of being in the minority. We struggled for some time just to be allowed to call...
These stories are not apocryphal --- I know people at the manager level who got into trouble for this exact thing. Alistair In a message dated 7/6/2005 8:12:51...

If it gives you any hope, we had the opposite experience. Once we switched to agile, we were seen has having an "increased sense of urgency." I think the two...
