Introduction
Human Factor is a body of knowledge about human abilities, human limitations, and other human characteristics that are relevant to the IT project management domain. It can be divided into three areas: physical ergonomics, cognitive ergonomics and organizational ergonomics. Physical ergonomics is mainly concerned with human anatomical, physiological and biomechanical characteristics as they relate to physical activity. Cognitive ergonomics focuses on perception, memory, information processing and reasoning relevant to, e.g. task analysis, human-machine interactions (HMI), workload, and alarm philosophies. Organizational ergonomics address issues relevant to organizational structures, policies, processes and operational philosophies. 
Organisational competence in Human Factors and UX (user experience) has not been extensively explored in literature despite its relevance to project success. Similarly, narrow focus in different project phases and insufficient information coordination contributes to marginalising the role of human factors in the design and development of new technology.

Objective

This book will aim to provide relevant theoretical frameworks and the latest empirical research findings in the area. It will be written for professionals who want to understand the dynamics of human factors and the role it plays in the success of any given IT project.

Target Audience
