FAQ
-
Can I skip steps in the process and still receive a successful result?
The more HCD steps that you take in the process, the better the results. We understand that project scopes vary and that you may not have the resources to adopt the complete HCD process. That is okay. Incorporating at least some form of HCD into your project process will still contribute to improved results.
-
What if I cannot gain access to my users?
That is okay. Activities can be based on assumptions and research, allowing you to empathise to a certain extent without jumping in and designing something for them without considering them at all. At the very least, we recommend that you create a persona.
-
What resources do you recommend to further support my learning in HCD?
There is so much available on the internet. Look for YouTube videos, articles, models and podcasts with a simple Google of, “How to apply human-centred design”.
-
Are there any types of projects where HCD does not add value?
We have not come across any yet.
-
How do you handle a diverse range of users? E.g. An organisation with multiple professions and teams.
If you have more than one type of user, that is okay. You can complete the HCD processes/tools for each type of user and consider them in how you design your solution.
