To me, UCD is an approach to design that suggests certain methods.
Personas, for instance, with their frequent emphasis on user goals,
seems to be a technique suggested by an UCD approach. Something like
Indi Young's Mental Models (aka alignment diagrams) would be a
technique that Activity-Centered Design approach might engender.
We should not forget the two other major approaches as well: systems
design, and "genius design." Those are valid approaches to our work
as well.
Which brings me back to my original assertion:
if you ask 10 UX professionals what their approach to UCD is,
you'll get (a minimum of) 10 answers.
