User-centred design (UCD) is a framework of processes (not restricted to interfaces or technologies) in which the needs, wants, and limitations of end users of a product, service or process are given extensive attention at each stage of the design process. User-centred design can be characterized as a multi-stage problem solving process that not only requires designers to analyse and foresee how users are likely to use a product, but also to test the validity of their assumptions with regard to user behavior in real world tests with actual users at each stage of the process from requirements, concepts, pre-production models, mid production and post production creating a circle of proof back to and confirming or modifying the original requirements. Such testing is necessary as it is often very difficult for the designers of a product to understand intuitively what a first-time user of their design experiences, and what each user's learning curve may look like.
The chief difference from other product design philosophies is that user-centered design tries to optimize the product around how users can, want, or need to use the product, rather than forcing the users to change their behavior to accommodate the product.
Design is the creation of a plan or convention for the construction of an object or a system (as in architectural blueprints, engineering drawings, business processes, circuit diagrams and sewing patterns). Design has different connotations in different fields (see design disciplines below). In some cases the direct construction of an object (as in pottery, engineering, management, cowboy coding and graphic design) is also considered to be design.
Designing often necessitates considering the aesthetic, functional, economic and sociopolitical dimensions of both the design object and design process. It may involve considerable research, thought, modeling, interactive adjustment, and re-design. Meanwhile, diverse kinds of objects may be designed, including clothing, graphical user interfaces, skyscrapers, corporate identities, business processes and even methods of designing.
Thus "design" may be a substantive referring to a categorical abstraction of a created thing or things (the design of something), or a verb for the process of creation, as is made clear by grammatical context.

If you were spending millions of dollars to develop a car, wouldn't you show it to customers (ideally early on) to see if they liked it? Unfortunately when creating websites this critical step is so often left out. But, it's important to create products that work well the first time and meet the customers' needs. The earlier your customers are brought into the process, the more likely they will be successful in finding information, signing up for updates, or completing a crucial task. Fortunately there's a roadmap, called User Centered Design, that can help can optimize your website or mobile site to meet customer demand. During this webinar, you'll learn how it can improve your products and save your agency money. For more information, visit http://www.digitalgov.gov and follow Digital...
How They Work Better Together: Lean UX, Agile Development and User-Centered Design by John Athayde Design has often been cut off from the development side of the house, creating static images that are then handed off to developers to build. Invariably, this waterfall approach leads to unhappy designers and frustrated programmers, and often a product that misses the mark. We'll study successes and failures from both consultancies (InfoEther, Hyphenated People, Meticulous) and product companies both large and small (LivingSocial, CargoSense). John Athayde is a designer and developer who spends a lot of time fighting bad coding practices in the Rails view layer. He is currently the VP of Design for CargoSense, a logistics product company. Prior to this he was the Lead for UI/UX and Front-en...

We will introduce the human centered design process, and focus on needs finding and user testing. Please post comments and questions here!
This unit will present an overview of the key User Centered Design tools and practices and show how they relate to conventional systems development processes. User Centered Design tools and techniques differ various ways including their viewpoint (e.g. cognitive psychology or computer science) , formalness (e.g. compare evaluations by inspection with formal user modelling for instance), user involvement, when they are applied and deliverables. (Chapter 3 Part 1)
The keynote gives a short overview about why we should include users into the design and development process and how this can be achieved. Several good practises will be discussed to show the major ingredients and rules. Benedikt Salzbrunn is program director of the master’s degree program User Experience Management at the University of Applied Sciences Technikum Wien. He also co-founded the university’s usability lab in 2006 and supported as well as led several research projects.
