This will be part of a write-up.
-
Find some real person with issues related to using computer programs. What's their name? You should know this by now.
-
What's their problem? What's their goal? How do they currently achieve their goal? Ask why like a toddler. Take notes. Write this up by February 11.
-
Observe said person trying to achieve their goal or some tasks related to it. Take notes. Write this up by February 18. Suggested things to look for:
* Could we do better? * What's repetitive? * What's error prone? * Is it discoverable? * What assumptions is the user interface making of the user? * Look out for geek speek. -
Paper prototypes. Observe them again with said prototypes.
