Why Successful Lab System Implementation Starts with Understanding Your Lab’s Personas
When implementing new lab informatics systems, “the lab” is often treated as as a single unit. labs are dynamic environments with multiple people, each with different responsibilities, goals, and frustrations. A system that helps one user may hinder or even cause outright failure for another. To implement a system or LIMS that works well for all users, labs need recognize the different personas that make up a lab. [Read More]
