The document provides guidelines for effectively communicating usability problems found during analysis to relevant stakeholders. Key recommendations include separating problems into different design dimensions, keeping an appropriate level of abstraction, prioritizing issues by gravity and effort to fix, and presenting findings and requirements for improvement in a clear and convincing manner to facilitate addressing the usability issues.
Escime The Language Of Tags For SlideshareErin Scime
Covers trends in tag use and visualization of tagging systems.
Key Points:
-Recent studies on tagging behavior show disappointing use rates
-The disconnect in tag use is a result of philosophical debate over classification
-The structure of language (and our natural dependence on hierarchy to determine meaning) plays a critical part in how tag clouds could function
-Look at current explorations and projects
-Considers how to architect for the future

It Takes 2 to Make a Thing Go Right: Jessica L'Esperance and Erin Scime Talk ...Erin Scime
When it comes to building mobile products it takes a tight collaboration between content and design. Mobile users are task driven, want localized information, and have multiple elements around them competing for their attention. Design can't meet the users needs by merely creating a lovely interface, and content strategy can't tailor content independent of the device constraints.
Together, Content Strategists and Designers can optimize the user experience for mobile to ensure the products are useful and usable.
Through a case study, we share our method for co-owning the product creation and putting siloed design to bed.
Workshop presentation including overview of content planning and 3 exercises on content personas, consumer journeys and content ecosystems. Presented on August 31, 2015 at Confab Intensive, 2015 in Portland, OR.
Mobile Content: The Return of Shovelware? Presented at the STC France Content...Erin Scime
The state of affairs for mobile content is dire at the moment. Brands are not thinking long-term or putting resources into discovery. They are also not thinking strategically about how mobile content is different from website content. This presentation outlines current mobile content imperatives and offers strategies for better mobile content experiences and higher return on investment.
There's a People Problem Lurking Behind Your Digital StrategyErin Scime
The document discusses addressing "people problems" that often lurk behind digital strategies. It notes that content is often the biggest challenge to manage, but the root cause is typically people-related issues rather than content or business problems. The document provides tactics for turning around people problems, including identifying the issues, positioning a content owner, building a nimble team, and having a socialization plan to align people with goals. Addressing people problems can significantly reduce costs and time spent on non-core activities.
Presentation as part of the New Media Symposium at Pratt Institute: April 25, 2009.
Presentation includes content strategy role description, common deliverables and how to get into the business.
