Hello, (with our apologies for any duplicates) We are looking for speakers for our panel on Agile Web Design. Call for Proposals WIF 2008 Panel : Agile Web...
HI My name is David Fox. I am a Computer science Masters student finishing up my thesis research. I am currently looking for Agile developers that have had...
Hey David, I'll forward this to some of the engineers I work with, with the expectation that you'll tell us a little bit more about the research you're doing,...
I participated in another aspect of David's research - interviewing UX people about Agile. He is a good guy! I hope that others can find the time to...
Hi David, I'd be happy to help. Send me an email at my personal address codedface@... I manage a team of designers distributed internationally. Not sure...
Do any of you have experience or thoughts on the use of web based prototyping tools (Simunication, iRise, other) to create hi-fi prototypes as input to product...
... [snip] It depends :-) Who's creating them? Why? Why do that instead of a paper prototype, or a whiteboard sketch, or real software? My general experience...
Since we're a Flex shop, making "usable" prototypes is pretty easy - almost as easy as making clickable pdf, visio or whatever. I equate Flex to something like...
I've been doing analysis and requirements work for a long time (since the early 90's) and dealing with mis-directed client expectations is far, far worse than...
... If your team has macs I would recommend Omnigraffle professional. We have a set of standard interface elements that we have created into a stencil, and ...
Hi, If you like prototyping with Flex, which is good for this as Brian said, there is an intermediate solution : hi-fi interactions with lo-fi look & feel. You...
Hi all, De-lurking briefly: ...and clients seldom hold up printed screen-shots next to paper prototypes to complain that they are different (I have had that ...
... While I have no experience with these Web-based tools, I do have a lot of experience using Axure, which I think could work very well into an Agile ...
... [snip] The idea of developing anything "all by themselves" doesn't sound terribly agile to me :-) Having a core development artefact isolated from the rest...
... I don't mean that UCD would be isolated from development... not at all! Just that the prototype would be UCD's sandbox that they are responsible for, and ...
Hello, Fred. On Thursday, January 10, 2008, at 10:46:27 AM, you ... I'm not understanding how, if development doesn't have to do it, it's not "all by...
Hi, I am new to AGIlE mothodologies and my question is: How would you compare Project Management Metholdologis: Rally, VersionOne, etc. Which do you feel may...
I believe the point is that the prototypes are done with tools that the designers can use themselves. This doesn't mean that they wouldn't talk to the...
It's really hard to check in whiteboards and hand written papers into Harvest or ReqPro as part of a use case... ... And I've gotten pretty good at reusing...
... Digital cameras are wonderful tools for archiving if you're in a place that forces you too. Even better, IMHO anyway, is to have an environment where...
I have yet to meet a business analyst who works on an Agile team that thinks Req Pro is useful. It is an archive of obsolete and useless data that no one ever...
Hear, hear. Totally agree. This thread seems to have encouraged UI tool geeks to talk details about their favorite products but the real question is whether...
We're not an Agile shop, we're RUP blended with UCD. And our developers and BAs and Stakeholders all read and edit and reread and reedit the documentation. It...
Hi Karli, Rally and VersionOne, etc are tools, not methodologies... As tools, the one that fits your process best is the best (and may or may not suit another...
Hello, Brian. On Thursday, January 10, 2008, at 1:37:36 PM, you ... Maybe you've just done one methodology and called it different names. Ron Jeffries ...
Yes Ron...that must be it. Point was that no methodology is implemented in a pure form. The client is always right and even when they're not, they're paying...
I've found calling it different names problem way to common. Let's do RUP implemented as water fall. Let's do Agile, and do anything we dang well please. The...
Hello, Brian. On Thursday, January 10, 2008, at 5:06:17 PM, you ... Yes, but that doesn't mean that I have to code with my finger up my nose just because they...
