"Tell me, old friend, when did you abandon wisdom for madness?"
– Gandalf to Saruman
Software wizards are intended to make a complex workflow simple to use, but only if a reasonable path is followed! Here’s another true story:
The presenter started a wizard to execute an analysis of business data and was still walking me through the options sixty minutes later!
Once he’d finally completed that portion of the demo, I asked him to show me how to execute that same workflow using the wizard the way someone would typically use it on a day-to-day basis.
How long do you think it took?
Two-and-a-half minutes start to finish.
Moral: Execute all demo pathways with the fewest number of clicks!
