Abstract
We describe research conducted to improve the design and management of notifications in the Jazz collaborative development environment. Scenario-based design was used in conjunction with focus groups that included eight representative Jazz users. The end result of this research is presented as a proof of concept prototype implementing a new notification architecture.
