viewing Microsoft Project files on a Mac?

One of the struggles I have in this cross-platform world is that there a few
key Microsoft applications that simply don't have native Mac support. One of
those is Project. Since our product development schedules are all managed
with Project and I work on a Mac, it's very difficult to view and make
changes to them. Are there applications out there that can handle viewing
.mpp files on OSX?

Thanks,
Lisa

Difference between lead user program and other UCD?

Hi,

What is the difference between Lead User Program

and other user-centric methods to collect insights?

Without calling Lead User program, in the software company I worked
for in the past, we always had a group of users we are in contact
regularly managed by product specialists to get their feedback on the
products or be the early testers at concept phase or have a workshop
to get insights.

I hear this word coming from b school type of person.

I do not see much different from being a kind of user centric method

InDesign Libraries are fun!

Maya,

First off, regarding the Pros and Cons of Wireframing Tools
discussion, it's worth noting that InDesign and Illustrator are both
relatively mature diagramming/illustration tools when used
independently. However, their power for creating wireframes, flows,
and deeper specifications and design documents is realized far more
when they are used in concert.

InDesign Libaries are fun!

I have been thinking of doing this for a while, and the time has come.

Over the years, i've added to my InDesign Libaries and they have
become large and unwieldy.

I would like to compile the best of the best of InDesign Libaries, one
for "functionality elements" (drop-downs, scrollbars, calendars, radio
buttons, etc) and one for "illustrations" (people silhouettes, maps,
products for ecommerce apps, other placeholder vector illustrations
and images)

If you are interested in sharing yours, please send your InDesign
libraries you frequently use to me, and i will clean them

Pros and Cons of Wireframing tools

Hi All,

My team is evaluating wireframing tools, and I would love to get some
feedback from this list. Things tend to be leaning towards Visio at the
moment. Being a designer, I'm not too thrilled at the idea of using
Visio.
