As someone working in an industry of constant and significant change, I’m always conscious of the positive and sometimes negative affects that change can have on a client. Clients want to work efficiently, effectively and most importantly with the competitive edge over the significant others in their particular sector.
‘Subject to change’ is aimed at the design process and highlights the need to understand that software interaction and experience design are key to successful products, anything from a client portal to a web based application.
It creates an understanding that thinking of products as experiences, developing data backed personas and learning to develop with an agile perspective are all key insights in creating excellent products. Applications should not just be functional but enjoyable to use.
Anyone who is involved in any sort of application design life-cycle should read this book..
