Usability
✤ All about psychology and physiology
✤ More satisfying to use
✤ Easier to use
✤ More efficient to use
✤ Product usability is achieved or improved by understanding users' needs
✤ Actual goals
✤ Challenges
✤ Limitations
✤ Unique or unexpected ways in which they use the product

✤ Ricoh found that 95% of the respondents to a survey never used three key features deliberately added to the product to make it more appealing. Customers either didn't know these features existed, didn't know how to use them, or didn't understand them (Nussbaum and Neff).

Impact by the Numbers
✤ Improves customer Return on Investment (ROI)
✤ Every $1 invested in usability engineering returns between $2 and $100 (Pressman)
✤ Reduces engineering costs and facilitates speed to market
✤ Usability engineering has demonstrated reductions in the product-development cycle by over 33-50% (Bosert).
✤ Reduces testing and quality assurance costs
✤ A user-centered approach raised customer satisfaction with 40% (Gartner)
✤ Reduces sales costs and shortens sales cycles
✤ Products that are easier to use are easier to sell
✤ Fewer unneeded features takes less time to explain to customers
✤ Decrease production costs while improving profit margins
✤ Identify extraneous features and unnecessary or inefficient procedures
