Can someone point me to some information about FLiP?  I am not sure if I
am currently using it or not, but I want to make sure I am or am not.

Jeff,

since I?m working on projects using FLiP I found out that the
prototyping phase actually needs the most time effort. For some
customers prototyping means not only to work on a front-end, like Steve
would say, but to communicate with the provide in a very critical phase.
Having that in my mind I realized, that this IS the most important
project phase.

Within our last FB3 project in which we were using Hal?s MVC adoption
very efficiently, we spent 2 weeks on prototyping and 1 week in
development including testing. Before getting the lead I made a
wireframe, describing the flow of about 60% of the whole application.
That took 20 minutes. 

With that wireframe and the business specifications of the customer I
created a MM (using Visual Mind). After that we began with prototyping.
I have to say that the customer did a real good job within that phase,
because he really USED the prototype/devnotes very efficiently.

After that 2 weeks in prototyping (gotta get HTML programmers, huh...)
we began with 2 men developing the app. In that phase we actually did
not finish up the fusedocs first. One wrote the fusedocs and the other
one did the coding and testing right after that. We saved allot of time
doing it that way and it did not affect quality. Not at all.

Hope this helps a little - for more details you can contact me off list
and ask more specific questions...

How does anybody do process planning or scheduling for FB apps?  Hal
mentioned in a recent class that the vast majority of time was spend in
the prototyping phase, but I was wonding if anybody had anything more
specific.

I may be asking an impossible question (since the prototype depends on
the client and the back-end number of fuses etc. depend on the
prototype) but managers tend to ask the impossible, so I thought I would
ask.

Thanks for any input.
