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
The target audience of this book will be composed of professionals and
researchers working in the field of information and knowledge management in
various disciplines, e.g. library, information and communication sciences,
administrative sciences and management, education, adult education,
sociology, computer science, and information technology. Moreover, the book
will provide insights and support executives concerned with the management
of expertise, knowledge, information and organizational development in
different types of work communities and environments.
