ISO 9241-171

ISO 9241-171 is an international standard that provides guidelines for integrating ergonomic principles into the design and development of enterprise information systems (like software used by organizations). Its goal is to ensure these systems are user-friendly, efficient, and reduce the risk of errors or strain for users. The standard emphasizes involving users throughout the design process, understanding their needs, and creating interfaces that support effective interaction. By following ISO 9241-171, organizations can develop systems that enhance productivity and user satisfaction while minimizing physical and cognitive workload.
