Usable Solution

A usable solution is the resolution of a problem, which quality of use are defined and fulfilled.

How to Design a Usable Solution?

  • Know your target customers
  • Understand their needs
  • Learn how they fulfill their needs, how far the goals are reached, and what are the paint points.
  • Find what can be optimized in order to better fulfill the needs and to remove the paint points
  • Design a solution which help them
  • Define all users of the solution
  • Implicate users in the definition and evaluation of the solution

How to implicate users?

  • Find all target groups involved in the planned solution
  • Find users for each of the target groups
  • Research the users expectations, needs, behavior and their contexts of use in relation to the solution. Research through direct observation and interview.
  • Let them use prototypes of the solution for evaluation purpose. Learn from observation.
  • Do this interactively along the whole design and build phases
  • Continue evaluating the end-product with users for further continuous improvement
