Join AP’s own Lane Becker for “Beyond Usability: Designing the Complete User Experience,” a two-day workshop in Seattle, February 15-16, 2006.

Spend two days with Adaptive Path and learn the same strategies we’ve successfully practiced for a wide range of organizations, including Fortune 500s, startups, and not-for-profits.

"I love the educational atmosphere. It’s great to learn from folks who are eager to learn themselves. Their ability to relate their experiences to the course material was really effective.” — Jason Goldman, Google

In this workshop, Adaptive Path will teach you how to incorporate user goals, business needs, and organizational awareness into your design process. You will develop a project plan, learn methods for research and design, and get advice on creating clear documentation.

You’ll leave the workshop inspired and equipped with design techniques and a library of documentation templates that you can use right away — so that your Web site will satisfy your users, your management, and you!

This two-day presentation covers the process of user experience design from gathering initial business requirements through developing functional specifications. Along the way we'll explain how to:

• Develop a detailed understanding of your users through task analysis, mental models, personas, and scenarios
• Improve the user experience by actively managing stakeholders and company politics
• Create a user-centered information architecture that meets business needs
• Design more successful interactive tools and user interfaces
• Manage your own usability tests
• Validate and defend important design decisions
