Programmers are largely responsible for helping move a product from design to implementation.

This process is always full of snags:

  • implementation details rear their ugly head and make parts of the design infeasible
  • user feedback on early prototypes leads to changes in the design
  • new technologies alter the field of what is possible, bringing back designs previously thought impossible
  • priorities shift, schedules change, and requirements wander

How do you keep design and implementation in contact during the implementation? What processes do you use? Tools? Artifacts? Guidelines? Communication strategies?
