User experience teams can wander into unknown territory when we redesign our Web 1.0 products into Web 2.0 offerings. Lillian Christman, of Plateau Systems, will share with you the story of one user experience team’s Web 2.0 adventure. Ms. Christman will discuss how the team arrived at their usability goals, what the most salient aspects of Web 2.0 are to them, and what the most salient features of our redesign were. She will also speak about their design collaboration as well as general process issues. Ms. Christman will conclude with a short summary of lessons learned and some thoughts about our next design cycle.
