Usability and User Experience: Hands-on Workshop

Support a positive user experience in this hands-on workshop covering theoretical basics. Can be tailored to the requirements of the learner’s organization.

Usability and a positive user experience (UX) determine the success of software products. If product development does not meet the needs of users, dissatisfaction will surface. This results in competitive disadvantages and can damage brand reputation.

Outstanding software products can only be developed through dialogue with future users and under consideration of their use cases. In this hands-on workshop, experienced trainers teach the theoretical basics of UX. Learners are able to test their new knowledge through practical exercises.
