She highlights variables such as click audits, number of fields, handoffs, and rework to identify “superfluous cognitive load.” Dr. Grajdek suggests focusing on defaults, templates, and single sources of truth as a solution to problematic workflow designs. Finally, she helps leaders to learn when to kill features and re-design workflow. Tune in to learn more.
