Apply established patterns for interaction

ROI : reduced time (cost) for maintenance
Solutions that follows a clear pattern for UI is saving money.
The User Interface of software is:– 47‐66% of a project’s total code– 80% of the unforeseen fixes required
(the other 20% are bugs)
“The average business metrics improvement after a usability redesign is now 83%.
This is substantially less than 6 years ago (135%), but ROI remains high because usability is still cheap relative to gains.”
Jacob Nielsen, 2008
ROI of UXFUCK ROI !!!
1 Based on a fatal misconception
Managers think that design is extra work, therefore they need to find out if it`s worth it.
“…whether design is necessary or affordable are quite beside the point: design is inevitable. The alternative to good design is bad design, not no design at all”
Douglas Martin Book Design
2 Not applicable in the formal sense
ROI is a quantitative financial approach and focus on values that are forseen an easily measured. UX is about finding new ways of helping people do what they want in smarter ways, and changing peoples behavioirs.
The UXdesign process is itself a way of changing business.
3 Managers seldom check the result
70% do not have a structured follow up on ther IT investments
