This document discusses the importance of usability in contact centers and incorporating measurement into the design process. It outlines how to benchmark current performance, observe system use, conduct expert evaluations, make UI changes, model performance, approve designs, and measure performance repeatedly. Measuring performance before and after UI changes allows organizations to understand the initial performance decrement, lag time to restore performance, and long-term benefits of improved usability. Incorporating measurement at each stage of the design process helps optimize contact center UIs and user experience.
