Today was spent with SAS’s Adobe Experience Manager expert. AEM allows companies to build websites without a lot of technical experience, and a lot of people at SAS take advantage of it, building websites for their departments and divisions without taking a close look at the SAS requirements for a website’s aesthetic. The job of the person I was with is to look at the websites, fix any issues users may have with AEM, and ensure that users are falling within standard specifications. He went through how he and his co-workers manage their projects via a system called Agile. Agile allows workers to dynamically manage tasks for specific projects, working on tasks in an un-rigid order if it’s necessary. His job also involves a lot of math for his analysis of website use and design; funnily enough, he uses an old calculator for that math (featured below). Kind of makes me wonder if all our fancy graphing calculators are really needed?
