Thinking in loud. I’m looking over many user interfaces of PLM systems and reading “Don’t make me think“. Why every PLM/PDM system is so complex?
My observations (not scientific, of course):
1. 50% of User Interface features are not in use.
2. Every system I use, demanded at least 30% bigger monitor.
3. You need to read manual to understand how it works.
So, my short conclusion – we need to scale UI back.
