Designers can’t help themselves. We are, by nature, perfectionists. We create, then throw away. We create again, tweak continuously, and fine-tune a design indefinitely. Why can we not stop ourselves? Time passes us by, missing deadlines. In turn, developers anxiously wait for us to finish, so that they can work off of something that has been solidified. During this session, you will learn strategies that will push your design to that "good enough" stage, so you will know “when to say when” and move from designing interfaces to developing them.

[Note: This version was presented at the Big Design Conference on May 29, 2010] As enterprises and other organizations look to sift through and make sense of the all the structured and unstructured data available to them, dashboards are being positioned as the solution to their problems. However, a dashboard needs special attention to the visual design or the dashboard will fail to meet expectations. If not carefully designed, a new dashboard can leave consumers unsatisfied, frustrated, confused, and even overwhelmed. Aaron Hursman will share his experiences designing effective dashboards that deliver on the promise of targeted, accessible, and actionable information. He will discuss examples from both his personal work and contributions of thought-leaders in this space. Through these examples, he will present practical dashboard design techniques. He will also present effective approaches to take during design and construction. Finally, Aaron will explain the challenges and obstacles that dashboard designers face today, and how to mitigate the risks that result.]]>

Abstract from IA Summit 2010 presentation: Let's face it, user research can be a total bore…especially for the research subjects. Answering numerous survey and interview questions can lull them to sleep. They are taking time out of their busy day to answer a slew of boring questions when they would probably rather be doing something else. As a result, the data we collect from existing techniques can be suboptimal…especially when the subject is disengaged due to the use of antiquated research methods. So, we have developed a new user research technique that produces better results, because it engages research subjects in a fun and tactile game format. Research subjects like this method because: * it is tactile * it is a game * it is not boring * the supplies are edible The method asks the facilitator to use commonly available household supplies to engage each research subject. Using the supplies, each research subject can be independently asked to prioritize any number of different topic areas including pain points, critical business goals, performance metrics, or even job responsibilities. Come and attend this session to learn how you can use this "game" to produce not only the usual qualifying data but also rich, quantifiable data.]]>
