Regarding https://public.dejacode.com/products/add/
When setting up a Product, recovering from error is challenging
Violated usability principles: Help Users Recognize, Diagnose, and Recover from Errors
Although the error messages are adequate, user may not be able to understand how to set up an Owner. Apparently ‘Owner’ is different from ‘Created by’.
Defining a new Owner is a cumbersome, non-intuitive process in the context of creating and maintaining a Product definition.
Enhancement benefits
Enable DejaCode users to take full advantage of the Product Owner assignment.
Proposed solution
Improve the help text on the Owner field of the Add Product form.
Provide easy ability to add a new Owner from the Add Product form (needs design -- consider simply creating a new Owner automatically if a user types in a non-existent Owner).
Additional notes
To the new DejaCode user, the term "Owner" does not immediately suggest an organization that creates and delivers software products; this needs further analysis.
