| Abstract: Model-driven design under the pressure of Web-time development and impossible deadlines may require taking shortcuts, especially in which design models are developed and how. This reprint of a column describes the approach to usage-centered design taken in one crunch-mode project for a Web-deployed classroom information system. Continual access to domain experts and speed modeling with index cards are among the techniques that helped. | |
