<p><a href="http://semanticstudios.com/publications/semantics/000228.php"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-75" title="uxtreasuremap" src="http://www.experiencematters.pk/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/uxtreasuremap.jpg" alt="uxtreasuremap" width="425" height="328" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">In traditional software development environments, there is an emphasis on creating specifications (SRS) and modeling (use case diagrams). While these type of documents are important, they don&#8217;t help in fully understanding and effectively capturing user needs and behaviors which are so important in creating a well-designed interactive product. Developers would do well by integrating the artifacts mentioned in the UX Treasure Map into their existing software development methodologies.</p>
