If organizational factors are not taken into account, the end result could be software that is verifiably correct, but not useful for its purpose. One way of accomplishing this is through frequent interaction between the designer and the client (the organization). The Manifesto For Agile Software Development <http://agilemanifesto.org/principles.html> suggests that designers follow a twelve principles approach. A few of the key principles can be summarized into the following (Manifesto for Agile Software Development, 2001):</ins></div></td></tr>

The clients should provide feedback relating to their likes and dislikes about the prototype. This iterative design process assures that the client is getting software that is not simply correct, but also useful to the organization.</i></ins></div></td></tr>

In other words, if a client is not satisfied by a particular prototype, the developers should be able to work on the next milestone and correcting the current milestone in parallel. According to the manifesto, this allows the project to still be completed in a timely manner.</i></ins></div></td></tr>
