Description:
User experience teams can wander into unknown territory when we redesign our Web 1.0 products into Web 2.0 offerings. I will share with you the story of one user experience team’s Web 2.0 adventure.
I will discuss how we arrived at our usability goals, what the most salient aspects of Web 2.0 are to us, and what are the most salient features of our redesign. I will also speak about our design collaboration as well as general process issues. I will conclude with a short summary of lessons learned and some thoughts about our next design cycle.
