These two disciplines have proposed methodologies emphasizing different aspects of the design process.

Methodologies are examined for their ability to facilitate working relationships between members of an integrated design team consisting of both SE and HCI specialists. Through a review of common SE and HCI methodologies, inadequacies of the education system in educating SE and HCI specialists about the roles of other specialists are identified. Differing value systems and work practices in the HCI and SE communities that block the creation of integrated methodologies are explored.
