Understanding User-Centric Design (UCD)

Discuss about the Human Centered Design for Pharmaceutical Sciences.

The main aim of the article is to take into consideration the different aspects which are related to the concept of the agile development processes. The main factor of emphasis is the sector of communication, collaboration of the developers and the delivery of the software in a working condition continuously and early. The concept of user centric design (UCD) can be considered as a process emphasizing on the concept of the user experience and the usability aspect which is throughout the system life cycle. The main purpose of the article is to discuss and interprets the major finding on the UCSD activities and relating to the agile projects in which are directly analyzed according to the principles from the manifesto of the agile. The article shows that the agile development has a gain from the aspect of the integrating UCSD and provides evidence on how to integrate the UCSD in the agile processes.

The key terms which are included into the article are stated below:

• user centric design: The conecpt of the user centric design basically explans the phases different phases which are related to the design and the life cycle development. The main focus point which can be related to the concept is to gain deep understanding of who will be using the product. It can be stated that there are many underlie design which are related to the user centered design. The design can be stated to be directly based on the aspect of the understanding which is explicit for the user’s point of view.
• Scrum: the concept of scrum can be considered as a most common concept of the agile process which is relatively lightweight process. The scrum can be used to control the software and the product and directly manage the products. The development process can be done using the concept of the incremental practice and using the concept of iterative method. According to the inventors of the scrum it was stated that it is the fastest, most widely used and accepted agile process which can be considered to be very much easy to implement. It improves the communication which can be applied between the client and the developers. The aspect which is basically taken into considering is that the focus point should be removed from the concept of the programming and putting focus on the aspect of goal orientation and planning.
• Agile development: Agile development can be used to describe the concept which is related to the “iterative software development”. It can be stated that the concept which is applicable to the iterative software development shortens the life cycle which is related to the software development. The agile development can be contrasted with the waterfall development or traditional model, where large projects are basically planned up front and executed against that particular plan. Taking into consideration quality code delivery production each of the sprint requires the agile development team to account for the acceleration pace.

The main discussion which is related to the system development is not a new concept in the HCL and the range of conflict between the different values of the system related to the development has been clearly described in the report. In the article as stated by Brannon that “part of the problem resides in the implicit view of ordinary people which, if surfaced would seem to treat people as, at worst, adopts who must be shielded from the machine, or as, best simply sets the elementary process or “factors” which can be studied in the isolation in the laboratory”. Taking into consideration the aspect of the software engineering the system theoretical perspective and on the other hand the perspective of the system also. Many of the approaches which are related to the system development originated in an engineering oriented approach worldwide which is closely related to the system theoretical perspective. The value which can be considered to be conflicting with the value of the UCSD can be a continuous process. This problem can be considered as an important factor in the working prospective of the software as a whole (Hawkins 2017).

The concept of the UCSD and the agile fundamentality have different set of value which are attached towards it. In the concept of the agile manifesto it can be stated that the core value which is related to the agile development were basically agreed upon. The basic value which is related to the UCSD can be directly outlined in the definition and the principles which are key relating to the UCSD. In this context the explanation of the context of the way of thinking and the way of interpretation.

Agile Development Processes and the Agile Manifesto

It can be stated here that the change in the requirement even in late in the process of the development, the process which is related to the agile harness the changes for the advantage which is related to the customers. In most of the cases it is seen that the normal organization implements the process to gain major advantage in the overall working of the aspect which helps in the depiction of the working. The working in this context can be considered to the internal as well as external. In majority of the cases it is seen that the complexity which is seen in the aspect of the model is one of the most important sectors which has to be taken care of. If these all aspects are taken into considerations the model can be very much beneficial for the organization.

The research sector shows that the UX professional rarely fit in the team culture which can be stated to be playing a very vital role. From the results which are obtained in this context it can be stated that the exposure to the scrum do not always have the support and the documentation they need from the prospective of the working (Hawkins 2017). One of the professional person stated that the aspect on Add on are explaining the collaboration which is related to the team members. The professional who are directly related to the information technology are continuously in the verge of exploiting new area of innovation which would be directly helping the field of expansion. Basic value can be considered very much essential in this field as it can be related to the aspect of delivering the standard of work which is involved in the sector of software development

Furthermost it can be stated that the IT professionals who indulge in the sector of the documentation which is related to the usability aspect require are not more likely to the gather of the feedback which is from the user to check if the documentation usability requirement are fulfiller or not (Hawkins 2017).

The study which is presented in the paper can be considered as a synthesis of the following aspects: survey of the studies which is related to how IT professional work along with the software development conducted over the user centered activity in basically two countries. The main concept which can be applied to the concept is that the principle which is related to the “working software is the primary measure which is relate to the success factor” the result which is showed measures that rarely the definition of the usability which is related to the scrum project. Few of the IT professional conduct the quantitative evaluation which is highly rated but on the other hand conducting the concept of the usability evaluation can be very much not frequent.

Integration of UCD into Agile Development Processes

According to me one of the biggest challenges which can be related in the aspect of UCSD and agile development is the value and the attribute which lie within the different approaches. In the development which is related agile mainly focus on the aspect of communication and speed with the functionality of the team (Chingale and Rao 2015). In the concept of the UCSD it can be stated that it provides emphasis on the concept of communication with the users and allowing the system to be usable.

The agile process provides a view which is very much structured in its approach to group of collaboration in the field of software development. The concept directly puts focus on the aspect of the early delivery which is relating to the minimizing the aspect of the wastage which is related to the process and functionality of the code. The change in view can be considered in way which directly explains that the basic strategy which is include into the aspect.

Scientifically it can be stated that the engineering filed which is related to the software are not easily incorporated within the knowledge of the HCL field without being expressed using their conceptual framework and following their condition. It can be stated that successful integration of the UCSD in the process of agile needs to be very much explicit and the attitude to UCSD needs to be develop (Zekos 2016).                                                                                       

Conclusion

It report can be concluded on a note that the process which is related to the aspect that the owner of the products or one of the team member should have experience in the overall working of the software. On the other hand to gain greater advantage all the members of the team should have the overall knowledge of the system. The owner should also always take into consideration the aspect which is related to the usability activities. On the other hand the team that work independently in this aspect should have the focus on the aspect of the usability.
