How easy is your product to use?

This is a common question that many of us may have asked. I'd like to break down the answer to this question by looking at common frustrations a user may have with your product or service. Then delve deeper into the following usability areas you could look out for Navigation, Feedback, Performance, Memorability, Learnability, Affordances and Error Messages. I'll share what you could do with your team to bake in usability from the start.

This Masterclass was kindly sponsored by Xray, the leading Quality Assurance and Test Management app for Jira.
