UCD

UCD stands for User-Centered Design, a framework that involves users throughout the design process to ensure the product or service meets their needs, is easy to use, and provides a satisfying user experience.

UCD involves several stages, typically starting with understanding the context of use, where designers identify the key user groups and explore the situations in which the product or service will be used. This is followed by specifying user requirements, which involves detailing the needs and desires of the users.
