I've written a post for my company's external design blog, that might be of interest to this list. "...my co-workers and I spent several hours considering the...

I think this is great! Ironically, we are just kicking off our own effort to document our design guidelines to frame how we work both as a team and with other...

John, thanks for this. I am raptly interested in your real-world experience; as you say, I've heard a lot from people who know what "well-researched" and who...
Hi, I am aware of the wide spectrum of proposals, techniques, approaches for improving agile usability, however, i believe that most of the assessements were...
... Could you say more about your goal in asking those questions? I have seen a lot of teams, and I don't think I've ever seen one where a team has been helped...
Jared introduced into this thread the simplification: "Well-researched user experiences over group-think-produced feature requirements." Later the list was...
... I took Jared's dichotomy list as "strive for A instead of B." While quality data may not always be difficult, the focus should be on obtaining quality data...

Larry, I'm sorry that you didn't read the original article that started this discussion. It would have saved you some time. The list of "dichotomies" came...

Thanks and good for you Jared. --Larry Constantine, IDSA, ACM Fellow Director, Lab:USE Laboratory for Usage-centered Software Engineering (www.labuse.org) ...
