Most of us know how to enter time without typos; the only tricky part is
dealing with times between 0:00 and 12:59 that are unmarked with am/pm.
So it seems like the simplest approach would be a text-entry box with
decent validation and a hint (e.g., You can enter time like 2:30pm or
14:30).
We recently went through a similar redesign. Through extensive card
sorting and usability testing of new and experienced users, we found
that keeping the old (albeit non-ideal) terminology was often the best
compromise. Experienced users just got too lost if we renamed functions
and topics that

little more difficult. I'm also using icons within certain cells for
another purpose, making that idea more difficult to implement, as well.
Other ideas are welcomed.

Though it's light on implementation, I hope this idea is useful. I
haven't actually implemented it, so I'll be interested to learn if
others see pitfalls.
I think the issue isn't dialup vs. broadband, it's simply speed of

Here, it's usually the Product Manager who gathers the requirements from
customers, prospects, and other business stakeholders and decides what
use cases need to be changed or supported. Occasionally I'll ride
along but not often, both because of time constraints and because the
requirements do
Also, testing search functionality is *not* possible until the very end
of release which naturally limits any actions to be taken based on
results of user testing.
...Just to play devil's advocate, why not? You could create some working
prototypes to test this before development. Prototypes may
In our training institutions, we don't have an equivalent notion to
resident rotation, where those new to the field get to experience the
entire thing, then choose their specialty.
That may be true; I didn't go to school for UX. But I'd argue that
start-ups provide this type of skills rotation.
Influence is ideal, if the designer has mastery of the subject area and
market. Failing that -- or in addition to it -- insight into the reasons
behind the strategy is almost as important.
If I'm simply told to design Feature X, I'll do the best I can with it,

(or if we expected to introduce a consistent set
of right-click menus throughout the app), the right-click menus might
have made more sense. However, for our users and usage patterns, the
better option was to make these functions visible in the UI.

I'm trying to find a better way to do usability test analysis.
My current approach is: after i finish a usability study, with 8 or 10

There's nothing necessarily wrong with the term unsophisticated,

the developers product folks in your organization have a specific
