Through interviews, observation and document reviews, we investigated how
design methods are applied and developed in a Norwegian design company with
a focus on safety-critical systems. Our analysis revealed that design methods are
used and developed through pragmatic, cyclic evolutions which vary across
projects. Particular methods are adapted to fit situational demands, designers’
skillsets and the organisation of design activities. We introduce the
pragmatic
evaluation model
, a framework to cyclically evaluate and evolve design methods
in professional design practice. The proposed model can provide opportunities
for research aimed at understanding how design methods can be adapted and
evolved to support professional design practice.
