You’ve Just Experienced “Hot” Communication [without dialing a 900 number] In Cockburn’s Agile Software Development , he describes how communication varies in temperature. Increasing communication temperature is an important tenet of Agile Development.

Agile Environments Leverage Information Radiators to Socialize Information A task model shows workflow, supports release planning and incremental development

Agile Environments Leverage Information Radiators to Socialize Information Navigation Maps and Storyboards describe user interactions

Agile Environments Leverage Information Radiators to Socialize Information Development often proceeds leveraging whiteboard wireframe prototypes

Agile Environments Leverage Information Radiators to Socialize Information User models and UI guidelines communicated in posters

Large Displayed Models Serve as a Backdrop for Ad Hoc Collaboration Brian, Frank, and Justin discuss their work with Mark against the backdrop of a workflow model

Recorded Discussions While Building a Model Serve as Documentation Zack explains the lifecycle of a railroad car lease to me using the domain objects in the system

The Surface Layer Describes Finished Visual Design Aspects Surface Skeleton Structure Scope Strategy

The Skeleton Describes Screen Layout and Functional Compartments in the Screen Surface Skeleton Structure Scope Strategy

Structure Defines Navigation from Place to Place in the User Interface task panes modal dialogs modal wizards Surface Skeleton Structure Scope Strategy

Arranging tasks by affinity allows me to think about contexts that best support tasks. Contexts in a home have common names we all know. Surface Skeleton Structure Scope Strategy

When designing a particular interaction context – a kitchen for instance – I optimize layout and tool choices to support tasks I’ll do there. Surface Skeleton Structure Scope Strategy

I’m going to spend a lot of time here, I want my experience to be as pleasant as possible… Surface Skeleton Structure Scope Strategy
