And how do you objectively prove it's better? Short of testing
alternatives you have a very subjective problem.
Not true. Often the real problem is everyone sees the problem
differently, so you're never really having the same conversation.
If you can get everyone to share the vision of the problem, then you
can have (more) objective discussions about how different solutions
solve or don't solve the problem. Collaborative whiteboarding, user
modeling, and task analysis are good ways to get everyone on the same
page.
