Hi Rein, Your own approach - what works and what doesn't: http://www.cooper.com/insights/journal_of_design/articles/ten_ways_to_kill_good_design.html How to make a business case for usability: http://www.useit.com/alertbox/roi-first-study.html http://www.useit.com/alertbox/roi.html How to measure user experience in a release: http://timiti.blogspot.com/2008/03/user-experience-metrics.html There is so much you can measure: http://chrisharrison.net/projects/progressbars/ http://www.kernelthread.com/mac/apme/optimizations/ When talking about user experience, there are many things that are indeed hard to measure but are still very real and worth money. Did your boss really need the V8? Why? How much more did he pay for it? Does he/she know that Audi and Skoda are generally made of same VW components? People aren't rational - people rationalize. That's so obvious when we're talking about sales and marketing. Hence, try to make it equally obvious when you're talking about design. How much does it cost to not do it?
