ROI on Usability Elisa Del Galdo, Human Factors International AbstractOne of the most important attributes about integrating user centred design and usability into product or service design, is that when done properly, it can have a very strong return on investment. The key is to understand how to identify these metrics and understand who usability can have a positive impact on your organization’s goals. What metrics can be use by IT executives, project and product managers, and usability professionals to validate usability’s contributions to your business goals? How do I calculate the return on investment for usability work? How can you demonstrate the business value of planned usability projects, efforts, and activities? By identifying metrics that demonstrate the business case for usability in your organization, the value and power of usability can be easily demonstrated. This includes opportunities for cost-savings and increased productivity that can be measured and communicated. More about ElisaElisa joined HFI in 2005.
