The Benefits of Using ISO 13407: Human Centred Design Process for Interactive Systems

ISO 13407 is a description of best practice in user centred design. It provides guidance on design activities that take place throughout the life cycle of interactive systems. It describes an iterative development cycle where product requirements specifications correctly account for user and organisational requirements as well as specifying the context in which the product is to be used. Design solutions are then produced which can be evaluated by representative users, against these requirements.
