The times, they are a changing
User Experience Design has long been one of our differentiating qualities in the world of IT consulting, but it’s certainly not immune to the current economic turbulence. Rather than become a victim of these uncertain times, we’re embracing this opportunity to shake things up. One part of the change we’re driving has to do with implementing a studio model across the EMC Application Consulting Practice.

An empty whiteboard is a sign of productivity
I’m not normally in the habit of cleaning off my whiteboard right away, but since I’ve started using Russ’s window I feel it would be unneighborly of me to constantly leave it cluttered with my work. As I was erasing it this morning, I mused that a clean whiteboard, like a clean kitchen, is a sign of productivity. This doesn’t hold true for every kind of whiteboard usage, but generally the longer I leave junk up there, the longer before I actually digest and use the information. The idea should be to work out a problem, capture it and move on.

Beating Down the Breadcrumbs
As powerful as SharePoint is, the MOSS user experience is pretty cough-cough-crappy-cough. The upside is, it provides plenty of opportunity to embrace constraints. I’ve identified a couple of small improvements for your next SharePoint implementation that will hopefully produce a more consistent experience for the people who will have to get to use it.
