User Centered System Design
Week 6
User Centered System Design:
“User-centered design (UCD) is an approach to design that grounds the process in information about the people who will use the product. UCD processes focus on users through the planning, design and development of a product.”
User centered design or UCD relates with usability and usefulness. User Centered design deals with the user’s subject matter, tasks, goals, and experience with the subject matter, their needs from the subject matter, how does the design of the subject could facilitate their cognitive processes.
By using this way we can improve the usability and usefulness of the anything which is related to the user’s interaction. This process is very helpful to reduce the costs and extend the user happiness and efficiency.
Usefulness
“Usefulness relates to relevance; do the functions, information, etc., match what the user actually needs?”
Usability
“Usability relates to ease-of-use—a simple concept, but not always easy or intuitive to implement.”
But UCD (user centered design) has some difficulties and problems: such as
· Sometimes good design can not satisfied customer needs.
· If the Design is a part of teamwork between the designers and clients.
· Design changes
· If the input from the user is wrong, then the whole system has to suffer.
Problems:
· Confusions.
· Interviews are not specific.
· We don’t know what are the problems will be coming up in the future or can say unpredictable.
In short line, UCD is a partaking or participatory design.
But we will have to remember that everything has some problems and there is a way to solve that problem like if we know clearly from where the problem is coming, it is possible to overcome the difficulty.
So in this matter, solving of UCD problems we need active collaboration and passive participation as well as have to know about the subject matter like the main content and the weak content. For these need a very good observation and clear understanding of client needs which will be possible by interacting with them.
