Central message … the user The process of design Steps … requirements what is there and what is wanted … analysis ordering and understanding design what to do and how to decide iteration and prototyping getting it right … and finding what is really needed! implementation and deployment making it and getting it out there … but how can I do it all ! ! limited time ? design trade-off usability? finding problems and fixing them? de
