The process of usability design is vital to achieving usable, likable, productivity-enhancing computer applications. However, the process is not used as much as many designers would like because of organizational and technical obstacles. In order to overcome the problems limiting the use of usability design in creating computer applications, 3 solutions are proposed: 1. greater reliance on existing methodologies for establishing testable usability and productivity-enhancing goals for individual applications, 2. a new method for identifying and focusing attention on long-term trends about the effects that computer applications have on end-user productivity, and 3. a new technical and organizational approach to application development, now under way, that directly involves application experts and style designers and makes iterative design much easier.
