Don’t Let a Poor User Interface Get in the Way of Engineering Ability
Earlier this week in a post about streamlining engineering with custom software development, I discussed how lack of scalability and poor planning can mean the failure of a great engineering idea when it comes to creating small in-house applications which are based in Excel or the like. But as I got to thinking about it more, I also realized a poor user interface can have a lot to do with the failure of an engineering software development project. The reasons for this are twofold:
