Human-Driven Analysis
Turn hard user problems into hard software problems
U ll f th t l il blUse all of the tools available– Human-centric design calls for an amalgamation of techniques
and technologies into coherent systems
Create and use metaphors familiar to domain users– Keep model at a high, conceptual level– e.g., people instead of rows
Produce low-friction interfaces and workflows– Automate anything that’s obvious– Use interface elements to reduce human work– Make it all look (and feel) easy( ) y
