Can usage-centered design be used with our development process and methodology?
Usage-centered design, a “front-end” process focused on user requirements and user interface design, can be incorporated into virtually any modern software design and development process or method, or it can be used as a guiding design approach in itself. Various parts of the usage-centered design process are separable and can be applied independently. Because it is based on use cases, which are employed in most modern development methods, usage-centered design can provide a thread linking user requirements and the design of user interfaces to the internal software and information architecture. See also UML/UP.
