AbstractUser-centered approaches to design can guide teams toward an understanding of users and aid teams in better posing design problems. This paper investigates the role of user-centered design approaches in design process and outcome within the context of design team projects. The value of interaction with users is examined at several stages throughout the design process. The influence of user-centered design on the performance of design teams is also explored. Results suggest that the quantity of interactions with users and time spent interacting with users alone is not linked with better design outcome, but that iterative evaluation of concepts by users may be of particular value to design prototypes. Suggestions are made based on the reflections from the authors after conducting this study.

Research in the ICT4D field implicates lack of user-centered design in the high rate of ICTD project failure. The field of user experience (UX) offers potentially fruitful approaches for user-centered design. In the ICTD context, these principles and methods clash with the triple constraints of project management (time, scope and funding). This paper introduces the user persona from UX design as a powerful tool for considering the user's perspective within resource-constrained ICTD projects. Although personas appear simple, they introduce complex communicative affordances, pragmatic benefits, and risks to ICTD projects. A brief conclusion revisits the larger problem of ICTD project failure, and considers the potential role of personas in addressing this problem.

Currently, flexibility and time to market have become the new keys to product development. The need for versatility, low overheads, and direct customer communication has led to the birth of an emerging breed of organizations that employ a virtual product development model (VPDM). This paper explores the role of user-centered design within a VPDM being used in an actual industrial organization, and is based on the experiences of the authors working in that organization. It also discusses possible user-centered evaluation methods, and the factors that influence their use in this model. Finally, it provides recommendations for a more seamless integration of user-centered design within this model.

User Centered

Web technology and internet networks have made web applications the main tool in daily activities. But developing applications with limited time often leads to neglecting the role of the user, which causes a lack of attention to aspects of usability, which results in the failure of the application to meet the needs and desires of the user. In this study we developed an application for submitting credit number determination proposals for engineering functional positions by combining Incremental Prototyping and User Centered Design methods. The results show that the application can meet the usability aspects so that it is easily understood and used in submitting and evaluating proposed credit numbers.Teknologi web dan jaringan internet telah menjadikan aplikasi web sebagai piranti utama dalam kegiatan sehari-hari. Namun pengembangan aplikasi dengan keterbatasan waktu seringkali mengabaikan peran pengguna, yang menyebabkan kurangnya perhatian pada aspek usabilitas sehingga berdampak pada kegagalan aplikasi memenuhi kebutuhan dan keinginan pengguna. Dalam penelitian ini dilakukan pengembangan aplikasi pengajuan usulan penetapan angka kredit (DUPAK) untuk jabatan fungsional perekayasa  dengan menggabungkan metode Incremental Prototyping dan User Centered Design. Aplikasi yang dikembangkan terbukti dapat memenuhi aspek usabilitas sehingga dapat mudah dipahami dan digunakan dalam pengajuan dan penilaian usulan angka kredit.
