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

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

You will 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
