Work practice models are effective and engaging tools for gathering product-independent information from users about their day-to-day challenges and the types of tools and resources they need to do their jobs. This program will combine presentation, case study examples, and hands-on exercises to explain how to: 1) identify and model your users’ routine work practices, 2) understand and document users’ conceptual models, and 3) use these tools to gather customer information to drive product design.
