Forget the user, do it right These are the reports by the groups which chose the topic: Forget the user, do it right (designers know best) Please read the abstract for further details about each coursework. M. Rösler, S. Gutekunst, S. Grunwald In todays software engineering projects user participation emerges more and more. Whereas some people claim that the involvement of the user is the key to success of a system, critics point out the drawbacks and say: “Forget the user, do it right!” or “Designers know best!”. This document analysis and evaluates this development with help of four case studies and concludes the results.
Ch. Schmidt, F. Seidel For many decades now people have been developing computer system. And yet the process of realising, understanding, learning, and applying new knowledge to computer hardware and software development is still progressing and even speeding up. The user-centred design (UCD) approach has been around for many years, but has been neglected, underestimated or wrongly interpreted and applied for a long time. This paper deals with this application development paradigm and shows its impact on the success of a newly-developed system by taking a look at different case studies.
