<h1 style="text-align: center;">ANALYSIS: 'people' based UI&nbsp;</h1>
<h2>[WHAT]</h2>
<ol>
<li><strong>] # # - Scott Hanselman asks <a href="http://www.hanselman.com/blog/WhyIsntPeopleCentricUIDesignTakingOff.aspx" target="_blank">why people based UI hasnt caught on</a> ( example in regards to windows 8 phone )</strong></li>
<ol>
<li>] 30 years later were still looking at a screenful of icons that represent 'applications'</li>
<li>] windows purseued 'document' centric focus and it is now a defacto standard across os platforms&nbsp;</li>
<li>]&nbsp;In Windows Phone and Windows 8+ I can pin People to the Start Screen. It's a killer feature that no one talks about.&nbsp;</li>
<li>] Scotts - example of</li>
<li>]&nbsp;Scott provide the "Guthrie example" where he would like to</li>
</ol>
<li><strong>] # # - Ben Thompson of StaTechery provides some answers in his article&nbsp;<a style="font-weight: normal;" href="http://stratechery.com/2013/apps-people-jobs-to-be-done/" target="_blank">apps-people-jobs-to-be-done</a>&nbsp;on 'people based' UI vs 'task based' UI</strong>&nbsp;-&nbsp;&nbsp;Ben's response is in regards to the Facebook Home app, which is a Facebook based 'people centric' front-end app for your phone</li>
<ol>
<li>] Ben show screenshots of how he has organized his apps drawer,&nbsp;</li>
<li>] then breaks the apps he has down by the 'jobs' that they do, he concludes his analysis saying that he has&nbsp;<span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>80 jobs to be done</strong></span> and claims that <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>only 4 of those 'jobs'</strong></span>&nbsp;are people based jobs,&nbsp;</li>
</ol></ol>
<h2>[PROS - WHY]</h2>
<ol>
<li><strong>] When&nbsp;I look at 40 of Bens list of '80 task based' apps</strong></li>
<ol>
<li>]&nbsp;from my&nbsp;perspective,&nbsp;I would consider&nbsp;##/40&nbsp;or (xx %) could benefit from&nbsp;being&nbsp;'people centric'&nbsp;apps</li>
<li>*] why only 40/80 - i am not cherry picking the people centric apps to enhance my arguement, i&nbsp;am only using the ones that he lists in the article, instead of analyzing each of the icons on the screens (of which i am assuming there are 80)</li>
</ol></ol>
