The Biggest Culprit?

 


  

 

Have you had cowboys working on this?

There are a lot of skilled usability professionals in the world.

So it is sad to see how much usability work still gets executed badly.

Common failings include: 

  • usability studies that study the wrong users -- and hence give invalid results
  • evaluations that misunderstand the context of use -- and hence give invalid results
  • long lists of trivial 'usability bugs' that mask the truly important results

...and there are countless other ways to deliver misleading or ineffective usability work.
