Read MoreCreating a survey is more complicated than most people realize. Here is a checklist to help you make your surveys the best they can be!
Read MoreSurveys are one of the most commonly used methods of collecting and analyzing data from a targeted population (a specific group of people). Using a set of standardized questions and a variety of delivery methods, surveys can be used to quickly obtain facts, opinions, and behaviors from a large group of people, which makes it a great elicitation tool.
Read MoreToday everyone is mad about the cloud, and for a lot of people, this is just another buzzword that they’ve heard, and so now they are using it too.

Read MoreWireframing is the first step in the UI design process - low fidelity visual representations of a web page or application interface. They are generally black and white line drawings, a combination of blocks and squiggles, with maybe some gray shading but no other colors.
