Comments on The Story Behind Usability.gov

Sanjay,

When I interviewed you last Fall for a Web Shui column in Builder.com, the question came up about how a designer/developer was to know what the relative impact of a particular standard/guideline/approach would be if they followed it. Once of the criticisms I had gleaned from people I talked to about your site was that it gave a designer little guidance on how to juggle priorities, such as usability vs timelines vs resources. I thought you said that you folks were going to tackle that next. Has that happened, yet?

Dear Sanjay,

Good article.

I would appreciate it if you could discuss the organizational structure of the team who did the redesign, with a short discussion of each member’s responsibilities and skills. I’m always interested in how other teams structure themselves.

Thanks.

Fascinating article. It reminded me that usability can make a huge difference in people’s lives. It also reminded me of some charity work I did for a children’s cancer charity in the past. I posted a bit about that experience on my site:
