This basic sequence is very similar to the process described in "ISO 13407: Human centred design processes for interactive systems" In some ways, the very strength of 13407 is that it is not overly prescriptive, allowing each company or team to adjust the details to specific local contexts. They key is not the exact terminology, or even the exact breakdown of the steps, but in the concept of user research informing design and evaluating the emerging product against requirements that include user experience (not just functionality). And, in the insistence that the cycle repeat as necessary. It seems obvious, but good work in the early stages (and more skill by all contributors) can reduce the number of iterations needed. -- Whitney Quesenbery www.wqusability.com ________________________________________________________________ Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!
