Why do so many software systems and physical products seem to have been designed by someone who has never used a product like that before?

This presentation explores that mystery. You’ll see numerous examples of thoughtlessly designed products that violate principles of good design, along with some examples of particularly effective designs.

By studying such products we can identify many lessons that can help designers, product development managers, and even consumers.

You’ll also see multiple techniques to help designers craft products with a focus on how consumers will use them, not just on their features.

Course Learning Objectives Include:

• See examples of both thoughtless and thoughtful designs that illustrate nine fundamental design principles
• Hear 18 lessons for good design of both software and physical products
• Learn why design is hard and see several good practices for effective usage-centric product design

We know that communication is important. Effective communication planning is considered an essential part of project management success. And yet, many of us struggle to communicate well.

Good communicators recognize the needs of their audience, and craft messages that have the desired impact at the appropriate time. The challenge for many of us is how to do that well.

An essential part of good communication is story. And good story has structure, rules and guidelines.

Understanding how story works, and how to tell good stories, is a critical tool in communicating well.

Join Mark Mullaly (LinkedIn profile) author of Researching the Value of Project Management and learn how to understand and apply story telling principles to your communication efforts.
