UserCentered Design Stories is the first usercentered design casebook with cases covering the key tasks and issues facing UCD practitioners today. Intended for both students and practitioners, this book follows the Harvard Case study method, where the reader is placed in the role of the decisionmaker in a reallife professional situation. In this book, the reader is asked to analyze dozens of UCD work situations and propose solutions for the problem set. The problems posed in the cases cover a wide variety of key tasks and issues faced by practitioners, including those related to organizational/managerial topics, UCD methods and processes, and technical/ project issues. The benefit of the casebook and its organization is that it offers new practitioners (as well as experienced practitioners working in new settings) valuable practice in decisionmaking that cannot be obtained by simply reading a book or attending a seminar. The first UserCentered Design Casebook, with cases covering the key tasks and issues facing UCD practitioners today. Each chapter based on real world cases with complex problems, giving readers as close to a realworld experience as possible. Offers "the things you don't learn in school," such as innovative and hybrid solutions that were actually used on the problems discussed.
