• Test and iterate prior to development to greatly reduce development
time and costs. By identifying user needs and identifying challenges,
solutions can be found prior to costly development.

fixing that error before the project is completed. [1]

• Errors
◦ (avg. repair time) x (employee cost) x (# of employees) = cost savings
◦ Example: (2 hrs) x ($30/hour) x (10 employees) = $600/week or $30,000/year*
• Cost of Development and Maintenance
◦ (# of changes) x (avg. hrs/change) x (cost of developer) x (4, if late) = cost savings
◦ Example: (20 changes) x (8 hrs each) x ($30/hour) = $4,800 if fixed early or $19,200 if
changed late
• Productivity
◦ (time saved) x (employee cost) x (# of employees) = cost savings
◦ Example: (1 hr/week) x ($30/hr) x (100 employees) = $3,000/ week or $150,000/year*

[Back Cover]
“Once you catch the user experience bug, the
world changes. Doors open the wrong way,
websites don't work, and companies don't
seem to care. And while anyone can learn
the UX remedies: usability testing, personas,
prototyping and so on unless your
organization 'gets it', putting them into
practice is tricky. Undercover User
Experience is a pragmatic guide from the
front lines, giving frank advice on making UX
work in real companies with real
problems. Readers will learn how to fit
research, ideation, prototyping and testing
into their daily workflow, and how to design
good user experiences under the all-too-
common constraints of time, budget and
culture.”
Suggested Books:
- Cennydd Bowles and James Box
