User-centered Design

  1. What is UCD

    • UCD represents the techniques, processes, methods, and procedures for designing usable products and systems, but just as important, it is the philosophy that places the user at the center of the process. pg 12
      • We want to emphasize these basic principles of user-centered design: Early focus on users and their tasks Evaluation and measurement of product usage Iterated design
        • To be usable, a product or service should be useful, efficient, effective, satisfying, learnable, and accessible. pg 31
  2. Design Process

    • What do designers need to consider about users, product and environment. (Bailey's human perforamnce model pg 7)
      • The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in standard 13407 says that UCD is ‘‘characterized by: the active involvement of users and a clear understanding of user and task requirements; an appropriate allocation of function between users and technology; the iteration of design solutions; multidisciplinary design.’’
        • Users are involved throughout design and development.
  3. Stages of Product life Cycle

    • The process is iterative, led by the user and developed through user-centred evaluation UCD is iterative just like the design cycle. Here though emphasis is on the user throughout the product design cycle. At each stage the user is consulted and modifications are made until the consumer requirements are met. Then it is released. See below the Five Stages of UCD The five stages of UCD
  4. Techniques for building usability.

    • UCD comprises a variety of techniques, methods, and practices, each applied at different points in the product development lifecycle. From this qualitative research, you can develop user profiles, personas (archetype users), scenarios, and task descriptions on which you and the design team can base design decisions throughout the development lifecycle
