Advocating User-Centred Design to Your Company?

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the 5-minutes-of-your-time-sir dept.

Bertie asks: "I'm a UI designer at a small company who has recently found himself sidelined on certain projects. It seems that they've been sold without enough consideration given to providing a good user experience, because the deals were done on the cheap. From my point of view, providing a satisfying user experience is not an optional luxury, it should underpin every other aspect of the project. If you were me, and you had a couple of hours to promote the importance of what you do to various people — execs, sales, developers, project managers, and the like — how would you use the time?"

    I will not subscribe to slashdot until:

    1. They stop beating crap like HD-DVD vs. BluRay to death while everything else gets ignored. It's turning into too much of a "big boys toys" forum over a solid technology site.
    2. Drop the politics section. While I'm sure it will go away as soon as a Democrat is elected president, regardless of his wrong doings, it's become nothing but a bashfest that has added no substance. I guess CmdrDildo needs this to increase traffic since no one is here to read the Linux or Mac crap.
    3. I get mod points back. It's sad that I lost mod points because I don't do the slashdot goosestep. Hence, I'm a troll today.
    4. Get rid of the overrated/underrated mods. No mods should be free of being meta-moderated. It's a tool of trolls that has been used against target users instead of being used as the slashdot staff originally envisioned. Taco knows this yet will still do nothing about it. GET OFF YOUR ASS and do a little work for once instead of living off of old glories.

    We're your customer, Taco, we're always right.
