Someone who is affected by the design. Can be those maintaining it or those using it (both sides of the coin) |
|
|
How are Stakeholders identified? |

An in-depth understanding of a design space which requires more than just talking to people who there. |

|
What is Persona Theory? |
Personas simplify the design process by bringing users to the attention of the designers easily and cheaply. |

Used on sets of categorical data to evaluate the probability that observed differences arose by chance. |
|
|
What is LEMERS? |
1. Learnability - How easily can features be discovered? 2. Efficiency - How long do basic tasks take? 3. Memorability - How easily can functions be remembered? 4. ERor Recovery - How many mistakes can be made and how are they caught/dealt with 5. Satisfaction: How pleasant is the design to use? |
