These descriptions are not meant to be exhaustive descriptions that you could use right after you have visited this web site. They are rather short summaries with references to more thorough descriptions of these methods. The purpose of this web-site is to encourage the usage of user oriented methods in both industry and research projects. We also offer a place for discussing these methods, namely the Usor mailing-list. It is important to remember that this collection and its content will not present one or a couple of methods that will guarantee the usability or user orientation of a project or a system.
All contributions are welcome.

Remember that we are not imposing any particular order or way of combining these activities. We are just stating that these activities are very common and easy to identify in many system development processes.
