Users, Pilot Services And Market

Working within the overall purpose of MAGNET/MAGNET Beyond one of the specific challenges that is elaborated on in this chapter has been to represent and include a direct and clear user centred focus. The user centricity was firmly agreed to be ever present both in the development process in the focus areas of the project and as direct involvement of users at different stages in the systems development process. The basic idea has been to identify and build up relevant user requirements as the basis for formulation of systems requirements. The MAGNET system focuses in particular on the user concept in five categories: user requirements, user case studies, user scenarios and use cases, evaluation and business models. The links between the five categories and the rest of MAGNET are illustrated in Fig. 2.1.
