Usage-centered Design
Usage-centered Design is a term coined by Constantine and Lockwood. See full citation below.
By definition, "Usage-Centered Design focuses on the work that users are trying to accomplish and on what the software will need to supply via the user interface to help them accomplish it." My workshops will address the "work that users are trying to accomplish" portion of the process in order to drive our Bounty Proposal and Software initiative.
Usage-centered Design takes advantage of a set of essential models in order to analyze users in terms of the roles they play in relation to systems and for task analysis.
