Linda Lane, serving as the User Interface consulting manager, created and rendered the layout and web designs, and CSS files for the Employee Purchase Plan and the Microsoft Home Use Program, on the fly the Thursday and Friday before they were due for testing on Monday.

She designed all the Logos, button designs, layout, and site content, including CSS based help files, for Microsoft's eCommerce sites for the Employee Purchase Program, and Home Use Program sites both group sites were completed -- in a single 32 hour session -- in 6 languages for four international regions, to meet deadlines at Microsoft in Issaquah, Washington with a team of three people. This was possible due to her prior research and documentation to meet Microsoft business marketing standards for Microsoft.com (called MS.COM internally).

Upon completion of this project, with this experience of the existing inflexable user interface issues, MS PM Pete Selden and PM Linda Lane immediately began redesigning the Microsoft proprietary software it was based upon, Order Management, and its user interface for the next 8 months.

Linda advised Pete to develop an Administration Dashboard to increase the throughput for the Order Management product used internally at Microsoft.
