Abstract
A panel of experienced usability professionals discusses the challenges of working in a rapid-prototyping environment and lessons learned during the system development of a wide range of military equipment. The panelists will provide examples, “war stories” and recommendations for implementing a variety of methods and approaches that foster collaboration among design team members as well as the creation of usable designs that meet targeted end-users' needs. Discussion topics will include: prioritizing design options effectively, cultivating multidisciplinary working relationships, selecting usability methods that work best, building strategies to address human system integration requirements for different milestones, and taking advantage of spiral development in a rapid-prototyping environment. The panel discussions will reveal key success factors and insights that are generalizable across a wide array of product domains and businesses.
