Season of Usability 2008 Final Reports Available

Published on October 04th, 2008 by Ellen Reitmayr

All projects were finished successfully - in average, the teams fulfilled 80% of their initial project goals. Given the fact that most mentors claimed to have set an overly ambitious roadmap at first, this is a very good value.
