Hi, I’m Paul Lomax What is CarBuyer? What is UCD?   How it fits into publishing Top tips
User Centred Design “A philosophy in which the needs, wants, and limitations of end users of a product are given extensive attention at each stage of the design process.”
Identify need for human centred design Specify context of use Evaluate designs Specify requirements System satisfies specified requirements Produce design solutions http://www.usabilityprofessionals.org/usability_resources/about_usability/what_is_ucd.html
Kaizen Continuous improvement
How UCD fits into publishing And some of the challenges…
Editors, publishers and other HiPPOs http://www.flickr.com/photos/maniacpictures/5015674544/
Web knowledge trumps domain knowledge http://theoatmeal.com/comics/working_home
Projects don’t slip by months They slip by the hour http://www.flickr.com/photos/8011986@N02/2707571409/
You need an autocratic product manager http://www.flickr.com/photos/joi/522695099
Managing the roadmap
The most understood; The least controversial
Stakeholders need to feellike they’re driving
Top tips AVOID the Christmas crowds in online shops this year by popping into town and buying your presents.
The user-centred design process First, you need a vision
User Personas
Don’t forget: Google is a user Advertisers are users
Prototype at every stage
Test.Then test again.And keep testing.
Test with real users But if you can’t find any, don’t skip user testing!
Stealing from one is “plagiarism”… But stealing from many is “research”! http://www.ui-patterns.com
