MinneUX Meetup Jan. 6: Demo of Zanby.com “discount” usability

Hola MinneUX’ers–

Next month we have a slight twist to our meetups — Lynn Smith, local IA/IxD pro, will be presenting a demo of a very creative, non-facilitated “discount” usability test/heuristic evaluation, followed by open discussion about the methodology used, its rigor and validity — basically, “Is this a good way to gather feedback?” Lynn and her partners created an Axure prototype, sent out an email survey to 3 distinct audiences — UX practitioners, friends familiar with Zamby, and others not familiar with Zamby — and used the data to iterate the design and get another round of feedback. It was CHEAP and RAPID usability test at its best.

I anticipate a VERY lively, dynamic and rich discussion! Come share your thoughts and questions, and be prepared to be inspired!

Here are details of the meeting:

  • Tuesday, January 6
  • 5:00-7:00 p.m.
  • at the Monte Carlo in the Minneapolis Warehouse District
  • 219 3rd Ave. N., Minneapolis 55401; 612-333-5900
  • Look for Kristi and the “MinneUX Meetup” table sign

    • If you have questions, please feel free to contact either myself or Garrick (email@garrickvanburen.com).

    Happy December!
