Ehdotuksen tiedot

This document provides a self-assessment of an organization’s human-centred design principles, processes, and activities throughout the life cycle of computer-based interactive systems, It also provides an overview of information given in the ISO 9241-200 series of standards. It is intended to be used as an introduction and self-assessment guide to human-centred design (HCD). Its target audience are personnel responsible for and managing design processes, and it is concerned with ways in which both hardware and software components of interactive systems can enhance human–system interaction. It includes a self-assessment that allows organizations to understand and assess their level of awareness and practices with respect to the human-centred design approach and best practices for organizations and project teams within that organization. This self-assessment is provided as a set of survey questions as well as assessment matrices. The survey may be used directly (answering the survey questions to perform an assessment) or by surveying a number of members of a project team or organization. The matrices may be used to report and visualize the results of the survey-based assessment, or as rapid assessments in their own right. This document does not provide detailed coverage of the methods and techniques required for human-centred design, nor does it address health or safety aspects in detail. Although it addresses the planning and management of human-centred design, it does not address all aspects of project management. The self-assessment matrices that can be used for organizations to assess their level of maturity and support claims of conformance are provided as informative Annexes.
