Masterclass description
Top Tasks Identification
The first method, Top Tasks Identification helps you clearly identify the top tasks of your customers AND the tiny tasks. It is about developing clear evidence based on data about what is important—and what is not important—to your customers.
Gerry McGovern’s Top Tasks methods have been used by organizations such as Cisco, Microsoft, IBM, Google, the European Union, Canadian Government, and hundreds of others.
Learn how to identify and professionally manage customer tasks. Top Tasks helps you to understand and empathize with your customers, and to deliver what they want.
Task Performance Indicator
The second method, which the masterclass will particularly focus on is how to measure the performance of top tasks using the Task Performance Indicator. You will be taught such techniques as:
- How to develop task questions—a particularly important skill to develop.
- How to run remote observation sessions of customers attempting to perform the tasks. You will be walked through a step-by-step facilitator guide.
- How to analyze and present results in a way that management can understand and act on.
The Task Performance Indicator is driven by two key metrics:
- Success rate: How many customers are actually able to complete top tasks?
- Time-on-task: How long does it take customers to complete top tasks on your website or app?
You will be shown how to build a solidly reliable management model around these two essential metrics of the customer experience. You can show to management how increasing success and reducing time has positive impacts on revenue and costs.
- Cutting edge technique to clearly identify your customers’ top tasks.
- How to create task questions for observation and measurement.
- How to select participants.
- How to run a remote test.
- How to analyze and present results.

”Gerry McGovern is a truly ’amazing’ speaker—passionate and profound, hilarious and enlightening. A golden-tongued orator whose every utterance merits quotation, and a lone rational voice in a wilderness of self-defeating, self-interest and inverse prioritization. He fights a never-ending battle to bring reason and utility to our websites by focusing relentlessly on your user’s most important tasks.”
Jeffrey Zeldman – A List Apart, Happy Cog, A Book, An Event Apart
”Gerry McGovern always delivers talks and workshops that our audiences love. He has given the best rated talk at Webdagene ever (in 2008) and he gave the best rated talk at Webdagene in 2015. Great content and great outcome.”
