Abstract
The root cause of many user interface (UI) design deficiencies is not a lack of knowledge about human-computer interaction principles nor a lack of information on user needs. Rather, many UI deficiencies arise because the UI design process is ad hoc and the design is not communicated successfully to the programmers who will implement it. Many UI designers are seeking and discovering ways to plan, manage, and document UI design work more effectively. This workshop provided an opportunity for participants to share lessons learned and obtain advice from other participants.In the weeks leading up to the workshop, participants selected the specific topics that were of prime concern to them. As a result, we narrowed the focus of the workshop to the following topics:• Division of UI design activities into stages• Division of labor and interdisciplinary collaboration• Collaborating in geographically-dispersed projects• Writing the UI specification• Defining the maturity of the UI design process.The following sections summarize the results of the workshop activities for each of these topics.

Scenario-based interactive UI design
CHI '13: Proceedings of the SIGCHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing SystemsClearly picturing user behavior is one of the key requirements when designing successful interactive software. However, covering all possible user behaviors with one UI is a complex challenge. The Scenario-based Interactive UI Design tool is designed to ...
Applying knowledge management in UI design process
TAMODIA '04: Proceedings of the 3rd annual conference on Task models and diagramsThis work describes the use of a Knowledge Management (KM) strategy to analyze the User Interface (UI) design process. This analisys approach produced: (i) an ontology to the UI design process and (ii) a new transforming approach to produce an ...
The UI design process: planning, managing, and documenting UI design work
CHI EA '99: CHI '99 Extended Abstracts on Human Factors in Computing SystemsThis workshop will examine best practices for managing and documenting the external aspects of UI design work. Participants will have an opportunity to share lessons learned, discuss published literature, and identify issues that remain unresolved.
