Intelligent design would be nothing without technology, and vice versa. But we know this already...right...
I%u2019m not sure if everyone is taking a particular development methodology into account within these views, but Agile absolutely depends on multi-disciplinary teams working side by side up front %u2013 and ongoing. There is no such thing as design simply being done, and passed over the fence, into developers hands, who only then realize it isn%u2019t feasible. User stories, which broadly define functionality in beginning stages, should be created by UE lead, Tech Lead, and Business Lead. Wireframes and UE concepts/models/goals should be attached to these stories before any developer can utter the word estimation or feasibility. Even though Agile negates large upfront planning phases (which produce huge requirements docs which usually result in sweet lies in the end), there is still a need to take an Iteration 0 (4 weeks?). This gets a multi-disciplinary team together upfront to create and analyse: user stories, choice of technology (front and back), main wireframes and interaction models, style guides, etc. Iteration 1 hits, and all of the crinkles/concepts might not be perfectly worked out yet %u2013 but there surely shouldn%u2019t be any arguments surrounding which technology is going to serve up the massive concept that already has user and client buy in. :) Cheers, Katie Katie Pula Creative Director | Sr. Interaction Architect . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
