Respect the User's Time: Experience Architecture and Design for Efficiency

Time is one of the most precious resources we have. Many applications today do not consider the user's time. This book is the first how-to book that introduces a framework how to create an experience architecture and design for efficiency. It illustrates techniques, tools, and templates that assist in optimizing an experience architecture and design for efficiency. For illustration purpose, all techniques and templates are applied to the fictitious example "World of Pizza". All techniques, tools, and templates have been used and refined in industrial projects. Each chapter ends with an exercise.The book is written for experience students and practitioner. The book has 649 pages, 424 figures and 70 tables.
