[IxDA Discuss] Do Engineers Understand UX documents? (was "Alan Cooper on Software...")

[Dan Brown]

I can't help but plug my book here, Communicating Design. It covers 10

mentioned earlier in this thread: we need to apply user-centered

More info at: www.communicatingdesign.com

We now return you to our regularly scheduled discussion...
