Familiarity breedsspeed: Jakob’s Law is one of the UX designers’ “Ten Commandments”. It states that what the userisdoingshould“befamiliar”.Interfacesshouldresembleprocessesfamiliartousers, so they can learn how to use itfaster.
MostUIsaredesignedtobereadfromlefttorightlikeapageoftext.Manywebsiteshave their menus on the left, and key action buttons running across the top. The logout button is on the extreme right. It’s the final action the user willtake. Not too many decisions at once: Have you ever looked at a TV remote and wondered why they have so many buttons? Hick Hyman’s Law states too many choices dramatically increase a user’s decisiontime. When an agent comes to a decision point, they should have only two or three options,so that the choice isclear. Being beautiful like the Mona Lisa is not enough for your UI, it needs to be something your agents can use quickly, otherwise your AHT will wipe the smile off of yourface.
