Group space

Description: The Usability and design space brings together the latest information, research, tools, podcasts, blogs and conferences information related to usability and design. Content is pulled from IBM and non-IBM sites. Each week a feature story is highlighted.

Objective: It is my hope that this space helps to educate developerWorks site visitors on usability and design by pointing to resources inside and outside of IBM.

Audience: Anyone interested in Usability and design.

 

Group type: Public

Date created: 26 Jul 2007

UCD Process
User-Centered Desgin Process
How do designers come up with an interface that's not in your face? That just does what you want and doesn't make you waste time doing what it wants? Easy-to-use software doesn't just happen. It requires focusing on the product's potential users from the very beginning and checking at each step of the way with these users to be sure they like and are comfortable with the final design.
