Indiana UniversityMark Notess is a development manager and usability specialist for Digital Library Program at Indiana University - Bloomington. Prior to joining this project, Mark was Director of User Experience at UNext, where he worked with Don Norman. Mark's current interest is in designing learning tools & environments for higher education, particularly for close study of creative artifacts.
Mark spent 12 years with Hewlett-Packard and Agilent Technologies, primarily leading user-centered design efforts and building user interface tools. He introduced contextual design at HP and also used contextual design as a framework for teaching HCI at IU. Mark holds masters degrees in both education and computer science from Virginia Tech, and is a doctoral student in Instructional Systems Technology IU.

Qualitative user-centered design processes such as contextual inquiry can generate huge amounts of data to be organized, analyzed, and represented. When you add the goal of spreading the resultant understanding to the far reaches of a large, multi-site organization, many practical barriers emerge. In this paper we describe experience creating and communicating representations of contextually derived user data in a large, multi-site product development organization. We describe how we involved a distributed team in data collection and analysis and how we made the data representations portable. We then describe how we have engaged over 200 people from five sites in thinking through the user data and its implications on product design.

We present the results of a survey designed to identify ways that human factors engineers have been successfully involved in software projects. Surveys describing successful and unsuccessful outcomes were returned by 14 human factors engineers and 21 software and documentation engineers at Hewlett Packard. In addition to describing the type of involvement and techniques used, respondents were also asked to define what they considered to be a successful outcome and give their views on what factors contribute to success or failure. The results of this study suggest ways in which the human factors/R&D partnership can be more effective in current development scenarios.

Design of human-computer interfaces is typically carried out by groups of designers rather than by isolated individuals. In this report, we characterize those groups and their contexts, examine the problems that such groups encounter, and evaluate the extent to which current HCI techniques address the needs of groups of designers.
