The implementation of flexible controls has already been shown to cut a building's total energy consumption by as much as 15%. A unique characteristic of this system is that it is designed to retrofit existing lighting fixtures in a cheap and efficient manner. Other more expensive solutions require the installation of entirely new lighting components."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://groups.ischool.berkeley.edu/MuniMap/needs_analysis.html"&gt;Comparative Analysis - The S.F.

Using a UX Consultation guide or pre-Consultation Form, can help us methodically document the project specifications, manage the conversation and ultimately provide a good overview that describes the most important challenges in the project. Consider the two approaches listed below:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How to learn more before the meeting by sending a&lt;a href="http://docs.google.com/Doc?id=df9nmq77_274xqf6868h&amp;amp;hl=en"&gt;*UX Pre-Consultation Form&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To help facilitate a meeting, use the &lt;a href="http://docs.google.com/Doc?id=df9nmq77_300gxtpggf5&amp;amp;hl=en"&gt;*UX Consult and Discussion Guide&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you have a larger UX Team this approach can help you standardize the way you gather information.

The examples below describe three different approaches to effectively using this tool. Surveys fit into a low, medium and high cost range, with the high end running at around $50G/yr- in this case, you do get what you pay for, but you had better be the UX director for someone with deep pockets.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ForeSee Results - Annual Tracking and Quarterly Analyst Reporting&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This method provides ongoing surveys that track behavior along with web metrics.

This tool is something that I have used at Target Corporate, where our UX team conducted reviews with other Target colleagues, assessing various Target.com web sections by using our Target Personas and prescripted scenario designs. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As you can see, once you review the tool, it is a methodology that uses scoring to measure different aspects of web sites, with the goal of analyzing the value of each section by assessing it in usability, functionality and other elemental analytics. What my colleagues and I discovered with this exercise, is that, by and large, it seems as though the tool could be more effective if it was tweaked a bit, refining its scope and thereby providing a more specific, more accurate analysis overall. Once you use the tool, you will understand more about why that is the case. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  &gt; &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt; Resources&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://docs.google.com/fileview?id=F.7398995f-7b53-4109-b995-70e130dd27c7&amp;hl=en"&gt;&lt;br /&gt; *Forrester article reviewing their own Web Site Review methodology&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Forrester Web Site Review assessment tool: &lt;a href="http://docs.google.com/Doc?docid=df9nmq77_232hsjnvbc9&amp;hl=en"&gt;*Applying FWSR to an Amazon Case Study&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The FWSR collective wisdom, testing sites over time: &lt;a href="http://docs.google.com/fileview?id=F.ea013dc8-7608-4438-b776-b20b6a831bd2&amp;hl=en"&gt;*The Best and Worst - 2005&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*requires permission to review&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1084804457422210543-1067240589053383874?l=uxpractitioner.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://uxpractitioner.blogspot.com/feeds/1067240589053383874/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1084804457422210543&amp;postID=1067240589053383874' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1084804457422210543/posts/default/1067240589053383874'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1084804457422210543/posts/default/1067240589053383874'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://uxpractitioner.blogspot.com/2008/07/forrester-web-site-review-research.html' title='Forrester Web Site Review - Research'/><author><name>Dave Fleming</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/117978181431042479623</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh5.googleusercontent.com/-3CZOP2XH94k/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAJZA/0_j0aHhK9gQ/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1084804457422210543.post-231989351456277098</id><published>2008-07-26T01:51:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-09-19T13:49:25.745-07:00</updated><title type='text'>HOLISTIC DESIGN RESEARCH: Research Methodology as a Core Organizational Discipline</title><content type='html'>In their new book, "Subject To Change", some of the folks at &lt;a href="http://www.adaptivepath.com"&gt;Adaptive Path&lt;/a&gt; have really defined the Holistic Design Research approach that organizations will do well to emulate.

We include and target specific areas of focus, general overviews, research of existing user experience documentation, scoring our findings, discussing our findings, critical issue escalation, documenting our success/effficacy, determining follow up plans, reviewing the product feedback and establishing new process protocol where required or advantageous. Usability Heuristics, IA Heuristics and Stanford Web Credibility Guidelines are included as an addendum to the audit, aligned with the UX observations that closely document user challenges.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The assessments follow in this order:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Observations&lt;/span&gt;    &lt;/span&gt;describing the UX issue&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;, &lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Usability Heuristic&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;associations regarding the issues, and &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Recommendations&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;that describe considerations on how to remedy the issue.&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Also included are &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Branding&lt;/span&gt; and other &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Business Objectives&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Areas of Focus - Fixed or General Overview&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The testing should be defined as a &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Fixed Area of Focus&lt;/span&gt; or as a&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; General Overview&lt;/span&gt; of the product:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Fixed Area of Focus:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We should carefully consider the interactions / application being tested and recommend which areas to test. We can take cues from the team and test according to what we learn, assess and discuss, e.g., testing the Log in, testing the home page, testing the dashboard, etc.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;General Overview Focus:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is important to determine some general areas to review and adhere to a standardized approach. As with all projects, tweaks and adjustments should be made wherever necessary.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Adaptive Aspects:&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://docs.google.com/Doc?id=df9nmq77_429hdjtn7hn"&gt; * Rosenfeld's IA Heuristics and Web 2.0 Heuristics&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Access to and Review of the Documented Issues&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We need to review a list or whatever records they have, documenting known Bugs, UI challenges, and any other sort of Fix-It lists available. Obtaining those records will help us focus more efficiently on testing, avoiding redundancy, enhancing their work and ultimately, providing a more effective way to work as teams.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Issues should be rated and scored&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We need to rate the importance of the UX observations, and rate them according to our view of what should be fixed: Must Fix - today!           Top Priority - Urgent, ASAP                       Medium Priority- next release     Low Priority - when it is possible, not urgent&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Critical Issue - Escalation Process&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If a flaw is discovered that appears to be something that could seriously impact our business and the success of the product, we should have a way to escalate that issue. For now, we should just establish a rule that we agree upon, such as sending an immediate email to the Product Manager, asking for acknowledgement and discussion to help them learn more about our concerns and documentation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Folllow Up and Discussion&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The findings need to be vetted and acknowledged by scheduling discussions with the appropriate parties.  There should be a protocol established on how, what and when this will happen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Actionable Results&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The findings needs to be actionable. How can we assure the our findings will be implemented? What sort of leverage exists to execute UX revisions derived from audits and other testing?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Documentation of our Value and Efficacy&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The findings and subsequent revisions need to be measured and tracked: Are they going to implement our findings? If not - why? If so, when? Are there baseline metrics that we can compare to? When we test and share findings that help improve the product, and are then able to track and demonstrate the progress, it will enable us to validate the worth and efficiency of our UX Team work.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Reviewing the Customer Service and Feedback&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Related to RACI business principles, the UX Team should be reviewing all the feedback that comes in from Customer service support channels and stay in the loop as much as possible with all the customer feedback gathered for each new product. If there are security concerns or other issues, we should establish and adhere to appropriate measures that will safely address that. We should explore how that is gathered: how, what, sent to, reviewed when and responded to how?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*requires permission to review&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1084804457422210543-8655985139746634381?l=uxpractitioner.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://uxpractitioner.blogspot.com/feeds/8655985139746634381/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1084804457422210543&amp;postID=8655985139746634381' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1084804457422210543/posts/default/8655985139746634381'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1084804457422210543/posts/default/8655985139746634381'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://uxpractitioner.blogspot.com/2008/07/user-experience-audit-analysis.html' title='UX Audits - Scope, Process and Adaptive Aspects'/><author><name>Dave Fleming</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/117978181431042479623</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh5.googleusercontent.com/-3CZOP2XH94k/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAJZA/0_j0aHhK9gQ/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1084804457422210543.post-3521095773111599189</id><published>2008-07-19T07:09:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-09-14T11:42:08.780-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Using JIRA to track UX work orders</title><content type='html'>JIRA is a versatile Atlassian wiki application that support issue tracking and projcet development.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;More can be found on the &lt;a href="http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira/"&gt;Atlassian JIRA site&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1084804457422210543-3521095773111599189?l=uxpractitioner.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://uxpractitioner.blogspot.com/feeds/3521095773111599189/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1084804457422210543&amp;postID=3521095773111599189' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1084804457422210543/posts/default/3521095773111599189'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1084804457422210543/posts/default/3521095773111599189'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://uxpractitioner.blogspot.com/2008/07/using-jira-to-track-ux-work-orders.html' title='Using JIRA to track UX work orders'/><author><name>Dave Fleming</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/117978181431042479623</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh5.googleusercontent.com/-3CZOP2XH94k/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAJZA/0_j0aHhK9gQ/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1084804457422210543.post-5734592707080208424</id><published>2008-07-18T21:29:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-09-19T20:39:35.819-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Leveraging A UX Work Request Tracking System</title><content type='html'>A UX team can help any organization by implementing or aligning with an existing Work Request Tracking System.

One of the first steps forward in the process was creating a rather simple document called a UX Project Order Form. Here is an example: the &lt;a href="http://docs.google.com/Doc?docid=df9nmq77_208fsq448gw&amp;amp;hl=en"&gt;* UX Project Order Form Template&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Step 2 :&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Initiate more work using a UX Audit method&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When product teams in your organization are not becoming engaged with the UX Team, I would like to suggest that you can sometimes change their tune by utilizing a pre-emptive &lt;a href="http://docs.google.com/Doc?docid=df9nmq77_207g76ngbgq&amp;amp;hl=en"&gt;* UX Audit&lt;/a&gt; to get their attention. Suddenly the teams and products audited become interested in discussions that are mandatory as follow-ups to your UX Audits that documents unresolved issues, challenges and other oversights that can quickly bubble up in the blogosphere making for bad PR and possibly damaging the value of you latest online gem. Be sure to send your UX Audit report with a "cc" to upper management. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This UX assessment tool is used by any capable UX SME to evaluate the site using fundamental usability heuristics and IA heuristics. The report will document your observations and then provide rationale that supports the specific UX advocacy for improvements. Once it is completed and shared, it is a very effective way of getting the attention of teams that are not engaged. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;PLEASE NOTE:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;The normal caveats regarding political silos and unspoken protocol should be thoroughly considered before you become this proactively engaged.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*requires permission to review&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1084804457422210543-6646135836168751419?l=uxpractitioner.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://uxpractitioner.blogspot.com/feeds/6646135836168751419/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1084804457422210543&amp;postID=6646135836168751419' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1084804457422210543/posts/default/6646135836168751419'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1084804457422210543/posts/default/6646135836168751419'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://uxpractitioner.blogspot.com/2008/07/building-solid-process-to-support-ux.html' title='UX Project Orders and &quot;Pre-Emptive&quot; UX Audits'/><author><name>Dave Fleming</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/117978181431042479623</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh5.googleusercontent.com/-3CZOP2XH94k/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAJZA/0_j0aHhK9gQ/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1084804457422210543.post-7284749363048498902</id><published>2008-07-05T05:23:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-09-14T12:18:12.354-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Holistic Design Research as an Institutional Discipline</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Holistic Design Research&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The first time I ever read about this approach, I was surprised and happy to discover that it was exactly what our UX Team had been trying to implement in our organization. We knew that we shoud be sharing our research and we knew how integrated and vital it was for us to do so. It is imperative to decide exactly who should be allowed to share information and at what levels of privacy, but it is critical for the most important organizational leaders to access what they need, and to know what is available. It is also mission critical for a company to build and benefit from documentation of the company's history- it's successes and its failures.

I called it:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=pvmCRTg2d_1o9lJseTJUHcQ&amp;hl=en"&gt;* User Experience Design - Tracking Process Development History, Notes, Action Items and Best Outcomes&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In my experience it is one of the best steps you can make as you move forward.
