Hierarchy of Needs

Incorporating the hierarchy of needs into your design process will help you keep focused on what matters.
5. Functionality needs have to do with meeting the most basic design requirements.
4. Reliability needs have to do with establishing stable and consistent performance.
3. Usability needs have to do with how easy and forgiving a design is to use.
2. Proficiency needs have to do with empowering people to do things better than they could previously.
1. Creativity is the level in the hierarchy where all needs have been satisfied, and people begin interacting with the design in innovative ways.”
