Jared Spool

Hiring consultants, renting expensive lab equipment, and taking months to analyze results are not in the cards for most teams. Fortunately, they aren’t the only option for cooking up a great experience. There are very inexpensive and fast techniques and tricks that teams can use that will help them see great improvements to their designs.

In his Thursday morning keynote presentation, Jared Spool will share these “fast-food budget” techniques, showing you cost and time effective methods for extracting the core benefits of any user experience design process. You’ll learn simple ways to gather information about your users, the tasks they are doing with your designs, and how well the designs meet their needs. In turn, you can use this information as you continue to make changes, thereby making each new release that much more delightful.
