[Sigia-l] "Getting the design right, and getting the right design"

[Ken Bryson]

The root cause of the design problem is usually that you built upon the
wrong design.  

Buxton argues that rapid, iterative design sketches (they don't have to
be actual sketches in the drawing sense) allow design teams to cycle
through multiple, different designs quickly.  Thus, they don't get stuck
on one (possibly wrong or ill-conceived) design early in the process and
follow that through to production, forcing the usability team to come in
and remedy the problematic symptoms.

No, that was the point. I'd like to find instances where usability
actually tries to understand the root causes of design problems as
opposed to potential remedies for the symptoms.

The constraint is the design.
