"Don't ever let anyone tell you that there's only one way, or a best way to design interaction. It's just not true." - James Leftwich
Yes! Suggest its important to think about the following elements : (feel free to add to these) 1. Organisational context - education required and maturity of an organisation i.e. some organisations who have worked with the traditional agency approach - show as a working, visual prototype (without any wire frames before hand). So we needed to provide a clear definition a "wire frame" (show some examples) and how it fits in to the overall process before starting work on the project. 2. Target audience - who you are communicating to and what they are ready for. Again, education required and framing the discussion around a design is important - http://www.uxmatters.com/MT/archives/000199.php 3. Time - how much time available for the design 4. Stage in development - sketching, concepts vs finished designs etc 5. Location of development team - what will help them understand the design. We worked on a project recently where we created sophisticated PPT's but the development team were used to Use Cases etc, so more documentation would have helped them (from their past project experience) 6. The application complexity - which approach will better communicate the goals Understanding what your target audience is ready for and determining what you need to communicate can really help determine the approach.
