I Ain’t Afraid of No Ghost Products: A human centered approach to breathe life into unused products


Have you ever encountered software that you dread using? How about a digital experience that was difficult to use? Or perhaps you’ve experienced a digital product that was created with good intentions but now sits on the proverbial shelf collecting dust? You aren’t alone; according to a new study conducted by software lifecycle information firm, 1E, more than $30 billion is wasted annually on unused software in the U.S. alone (1). But how do we, as technology professionals, help our digital products become something that users enjoy interacting with? In this interactive session, we’ll cover the concept of ghost products, how you can identify them, steps you can take to improve them to aid in adoption, and how to mitigate any future products you work on coming back to haunt you.
