A key challenge when producing usable and useful software is the lack of impact of usability work on software development. We aim at developing a more coherent and realistic understanding of this challenge and the possibilities of how to increase the impact from usability work when developing high quality software products. We present a workshop gathering usability practitioners and researchers in order to establish and thoroughly discuss a corpus of case studies covering a broad range of usability practices in software development. The result of the workshop will be summarized in a conference paper and an international recognized scientific publisher will publish the case studies.
