Robert, Thank you for that as I think I need to add more on the users perceived time on task. It depends on your definition of design. If the design is there...

... William, I work across the whole stack, but I don't do CSS. I might specify/approve/advise on any element there - in detail - but don't actually produce...
... For the purposes of my point above, I don't think it matters. I wrote it that way because some project teams I work with really have one person that does...
I asked something like this recently, but didn't get responses. Let me try it a different way. In order to get user feedback before release of a software ...
Hi Nick: In 2005 I ran a workshop with Whitney Quesenbery (www.wqusability.com) in Shanghai called "Choosing the Right Usability Tool (the right technique for...
... Dan thanks. I'm familiar with the criteria - have you applied these to Agile projects? I'm hoping for some real world examples of where practitioners have ...
Hi Nick: More Waterfall experience :( On the Agile projects we decided to choose 2-3 UX tools we could repeat confidently e.g interviews, usability walkthrough...
Hi, Nick. ... Just out of curiosity, why are you limiting it to pre-release feedback? My clients are mainly very iterative, and are of the "release early, ...
... That's a good question. Partly it's based on the fact that we're not currently very good at ongoing tweaking of live functionality. We are getting better...
