Repost: "Suggestions or Templates for Creative Brief + User Requirements for Design Firm" http://www.ixda.org/discuss.php?post=16508#tags
The post is well articulated, to me at least. But there was only one response. So I am reposting this thread because, frankly, there is a fundamental question that hasn't been answered and that I feel deserves attention from the community. Dan Saffer's first book mentioned that there are alternative specs other than the loathsome BRD, but that they were experimental (I am paraphrasing). But that's the standard with systems built in the enterprise space. I have used mixtures of "adhoc" "experimental" techniques for the peculiarities of a given project, such as a BRD in After Effects. However, I have one of those rare situations where there are a few extremely talented people involved, the decision makers, and we can shape the requirements-vision-design-lifecycle all the way through from the beginning. I would love to hear specific success stories that were perhaps experimental, that spoke in the language of business people AND programmers, but at the same time, inspired a successful product that was actually built and delivered, rather than, posts about how the interpersonal dynamic of the modern business world gets in the way. I am sure I have violated some rule by doing this, but I am an artist, in my defense. Thanks in advance. ________________________________________________________________ Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!
