Can you write and illustrate complete feature & design specifications for user-centered design? We at Orios are offering just the right opportunity for you to...
A problem with people who do interactiond design and user interface design work on projects - agile or otherwise - is that they often work alone. OK, I often...
This is interesting. We pair up to design. We started doing it because we had a lot of technical writers on hand who were keen to get involved earlier in...
Do I do pair designing? As I have been saying for years, the best practice in interaction design is multi-disciplinary teamwork. Just as in pair programming,...

I was recently tasked with the job of creating a *team* around 4 designers (myself included) who had each been working independently at my company anywhere ...

This is really interesting thread. About five years ago, me and couple of my ex-collagues tried to convince that working on multi-disciplinary teams is a way...

Jeff, Regardless of what the developers would like, the correct answer remains, "it depends". Anyone seeking who wants to use "rules of thumb" instead of ...
Jeff, John, I am not in favour of "rules of thumb" either, but in this particular case would one of you provide a concrete example of when it would NOT be a...
Tobias, If the user has the number in a different format than that expected by the implementers (e.g., has leading zeroes or a non-significant set of lead ...
Hi Tobias, Hmm. let's see if I can come up with a couple of reasons where it might be a bad idea: The application as a whole has lots of places where numbers...
Thanks Jon... ... This implied that there were no leading non-significant characters, but only up to eight digits, so I'm not sure your first example is valid...

I can't speak to the rules of thumbs thing, but I think "it depends" IS the right answer. For example, if the N-digit number happens to be a credit card...
I think you can have it both ways: 1- if you just enter the numbers without the spaces, the software could put the spaces for you when it reaches the...
IMHO, Web interaction as it is implemented now by a large majority of sites really sucks big time. I hope that rich client side technologies will improve...
Thanks everyone for the examples. A few remarks on user studies... ... Clearly not, I would agree. ... This being an Agile Usablity list, that seems a fair...
Alain, I agree with you completely. More interactivity does not necessarily mean a more usable site. Highly interactivite technologies could and are used to ...
It seems to me that much of what is discussed on this list falls more in the category of Design than Field work. I think Design is a good thing, as long as you...
