Questions

  1. How does the Lewis & Rieman design cycle compare to what you have learned from Wendy Mackay (participatory design)?
  2. This article was written at a time when most software was sold "shrink-wrapped" in stores. Does their argument about the design process hold equally for web applications? If not, what has changed?
  3. Where do you disagree with Lewis & Riemann? Why?
