In the session we talk about the <a href="https://www.nngroup.com/articles/ten-usability-heuristics/">10 Usability Heuristics for User Interface Design</a> and how to map them to the work we do with the Power Platform. One of those heuristics is <strong>Visibility of system status</strong>.</p> <p>What this means is:<br> <strong>The design should always keep users informed about what is going on, through appropriate feedback within a reasonable amount of time.</strong> When users know the current system status, they learn the outcome of their prior interactions and determine next steps. Predictable interactions create trust in the product as well as the brand.</p>
