I am often asked, …”what is UCD (User Centered Design) and what are the principles?”.  Below is a basic over view from w3.org and a slideshow on UCD that I often use with clients in the preliminary stages of a project.   I have found that it helps users understand the principles and concepts and the importance of implementing this early on.

1. Early focus on users and tasks
* Structured and systematic information gathering (consistent across the board)
* Designers trained by experts before conducting data collection sessions
2. Empirical Measurement and testing of product usage
* Focus on ease of learning and ease of use
* Testing of prototypes with actual users
3. Iterative Design
* Product designed, modified and tested repeatedly.
* Allow for the complete overhaul and rethinking of design by early testing of conceptual models and design ideas.

Below is a slideshow presentation, please feel free to use it for your own needs as I believe it is a very helpful tool!
