At my company, the business groups often use Visio to produce the
wireframes that the design groups then work toward. They also use
Powerpoint to produce "light" specs. I can't say I am fond of these
tools from a web development perspective, but they do allow those not
familiar with the web to quickly produce wireframes that can be easily
manipulated and toyed with. There is the added benefit that many
business folks are already familiar with these programs.
I've never seen any such tools used for this... maybe that happens only in
the rarified atmopshere of large corporations or government departments...
...wirefames? ... only ever seen that in animation programs...
...maybe someone's been watching too many movies?
...doesn't sound at all like the real world
Never even seen Visio.. and don't have a clue what it actually does.
Just did a Google search on it and ended up at a page about Microsoft
Office... I guess this is something new they just released .
.. but I can't quickly figure out from that page what it actually does!
...but if there is any tool in existance that could help a non-technical
person describe to me what they want more clearly I'd like to know about it!
(but if the language it uses is business-speak then I'm still going to have
trouble understanding it :-)
It would be nice to have something better to go on than what we usually get
in the real world....
eg a photoshop image and being told to "do something like that" (I'm a
developer not a visual designer - I need some idea what they want it to do!)
or
(the most common scenario) ... a very vague verbal description from someone
who isn't actually sure of what they want!
