War story time: My team is currently working on an application for a federal client. It's a fairly complex application, replacing a Windows-based client- server app. Due to other responsibilities, the signing authority (the person who would sign off on the prototype) was not available to us for most of last year, when we were doing the design stages of the app. As a result, we proceeded with a prototype that had not been signed by the client. I've been working with this client for 5 years now, so I know the arena quite well, but there are still many areas where we're having to rework the program concept.
Same client, same environment, different (but related) system: With the client's other demands out of the way, I insisted on page-by-page signoff of the prototype (using a rubber stamp to put an approval block on each printed page). We just delivered the first of three phases, and are now ready to get signoff on the second phase. Because of the insistence on a tight, signed prototype, this second project proceeds much more smoothly than the first, even though all the players are the same, the environment is the same, the culture is the same, etc. - Jeff On 7 Jun 2002 at 23:50, hal helms wrote: > I highly recommend that the entire front end of an application be > created as part of the prototype process.
