Here, it's usually the Product Manager who gathers the requirements from customers, prospects, and other business stakeholders and decides what use cases need to be changed or supported. Occasionally I'll "ride along" but not often, both because of time constraints and because the requirements do not typically get transcribed directly from customer requests.
I then work with the Product Manager to determine how to implement the use cases in the software. I do user testing of the designs with customers to ensure that the implementation is logical, efficient, and pleasant to use. I also do user research at our client sites, but not as specific "what do you want?" requirements gathering -- just watching and listening. -Sarah ________________________________________________________________ Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!
