How do you coordinate with interaction designers during implementation?
- by Alex Feinman
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?
