We tend to discount the importance of non-verbal behavior - but it's far more accurate than what people actually say. Observation helps pick up those subtle ticks and expressions and makes it easier to stand in our users shoes. It's a richer set of data and no surprise that it produces better results.

And in my years of experience I have noticed this as well. Having as many team members at usability testing is great. It helps limit design by opinion and it helps to prevent executives from swooping in at the last minute and changing important design elements for the worse. For my full perspective, please have a look: http://blog.theusabilityreview.com/index.php/how-to-choose-a-design-agencyconsultant-and-usability-exposure-hours/ Thanks again for the article!

I understand that some may disagree from a "tradition" or apathetic perspective, but I can't imagine there being many cases to really support it. Thanks for a great article - I think it solidified and reinforced some of what has been rattling around in my brain for a while. It's nice to be able to say "this is new, innovative thinking thoroughly backed by research". This is spot-on!

On one of my project, I implied project leaders and people that write documentation along with developers. I think it has been one of my greatest decision. User testing is THE greatest tool to show people what is User experience. After that everything becomes natural for the teams (making interviews, sketching and prototyping as much as possible, making things clear and simple, taking out unnecessary text and features....). It's magical :) I can say that I totally agree. On one of my project, I implied project leaders and people that write documentation along with developers.
