Jon’s webinar will touch on an issue many of us are facing--mandates to provide better user experiences for our customers.  Often, these requirements come without additional funding or resources.  One way to do more with less is to train existing staff to conduct simple usability tests.  In this webinar, Jon will talk about how they have turned their First Fridays usability testing program into a training ground for test facilitators

ABSTRACT

Usability practitioners are always in short supply.  And convincing executives about the importance of usability testing is a constant struggle.  So, why not kill two birds with one stone, and turn your testing program into a training and awareness program as well? GSA's First Fridays is a "discount usability" program based upon Steve Krug's simple but effective methodology.  We've tested dozens of websites, and now we're teaching other agencies how to test their own sites through our educational Facilitator in Training Program.  Learn about our testing style and how easy it is to emulate.  Hear about our syllabus and practical, step-by-step educational process and how it can change the culture at your organization.
