Ideas for Research Proposal in Review

HCI 591 is doing a project research proposal. These are two ideas I have for that project, thought I would get your feedback. Might be nice to tie this project in with my future research and thesis?

Evaluate a development teams key roles and identify high level processes for UI/UX implementation and testing. Create a paper, pattern library, and/or wiki to identify various methods, key elements, and techniques based on known criteria from clients and past proposals. Identify items missing from proposals and business case/use case for why the newly recommended elements should be implemented.

Overview Week 3 HCI Presentation - January 29th, 2016

All students (on-campus and online) must post at least 1 topic that the student would be interested to research and then write a short proposal. Submit at least one topic for proposal. Students can propose a project or a set of activities that are part of their current research, project for a different class, or project student is interested to implement/try in near future on campus or at work. All topics must be relevant to HCI. Later all students will read each other's topics and form teams (2 - 4 people) based on common interests. Each group will later write and submit one 2-page proposal that will describe the need and value of the proposed topic.

Remembering NASA and Evaluating Decisions

Horrifying. The explanations and descriptions of how decisions where made seem very ego based. Risk management is an under developed skill. 

This story reminds me a lot of formal vs informal evaluation assessments. These events clearly represent the reason why it is critical to make defensible decisions based on facts not pressure or snap judgements. Granted most jobs are not life or death if you are complacent but I'm sure you can connect the dots.
