Click here to watch Design Validation and Meaningful Feedback.

There's nothing worse than discovering that the project you poured everything into is confusing or unappealing to the people who are expected to use it. Intranets, anyone?

How do you know whether the new Drupal site/app/distribution you are working on is indeed wonderful to your target audience? You need (meaningful!) design feedback.

There are many techniques and tools you can use, that depend on:

• Stage of the project you're in
• Type of feedback you need
• Type of project
• Who you need to collect feedback from
• How quickly you need the feedback

In other words, you'll take a very different approach for a corporate site in the early development stages vs the redesign of a certain feature on a site/app.

I'll talk about how we work at Acquia (everything from clickable prototypes for Drupal Commons to how we use Acquia Cloud as a platform for some usability studies) and how others work.

Reasons to attend this session

• You're responsible (or want to be) for gathering design feedback
• You're interested in a better design process
• You're tired of seeing sucky designs
• You're a visual designer, user experience designer, product manager, or project manager (developers welcome too!)

You should walk away with an overview for capturing, prioritizing and acting on feedback for your project's success.
