Abstract

The user-centered design allows the creative teams to focus on the real needs avoiding investing effort in features that will not add value to the product to be elaborated, this also reduces the rework that may result from not being clear about the requirements and assuming the that our experience dictates as a truth as to what may be useful to the end user. Within a multidisciplinary development project in which different specialties are part of the creative process and its implementation, the team members’ skills and experience in each of the involved areas are exploited, for the project to be developed will be a result of the sum of all the parts and not individual work. In consequence, the application of a user-centered methodology with agile development is presented in which the point of view of the different team members can contribute to the development of the software product. This paper describes what the Zuku project consists of, the context in which it was developed, methodologies involved, phases of the project and final results of the implementation.
