Observations/Thoughts

  • Smooth sailing for the first user. This is the fastest completion time that we’ve seen so far (at 8:02). The only thing she missed was saving the “Main menu” as the “primary menu” in her theme. I think this was more than likely due to my poor instructions, than anything else. Anything else we can do there?
  • The second user also breezed through the menu tasks.
  • I’m stoked about the progress we’ve made here.
