As websites are moving further away from the “page” metaphor and toward more interactive “2.0” experiences, designers are faced with moving beyond the site map and static wireframe. We need to be able to communicate more fluid interfaces and interactions. Sometimes this means documenting very detailed functionality and almost infinite “states” in a rich Internet application, or representing motion in a static medium. But it can also mean stepping back to paint a broader picture—establishing and communicating the fundamental approach for a site’s interactions—to build consensus before the detailed work begins.
This presentation by John Yesko, User Experience Lead at Roundarch, will cover several highly-visual documentation techniques, which attempt to communicate the exact right amount of information, to the right stakeholders, at the right points in the project. From presenting a high-level concept map to an executive, to producing a usable functional spec for visual designers and developers
I have another commitment on the 17th, but if I can figure out the travel between the two locations I'd like to be there. Thanks!
Need any additional presenters?
Isn’t that more of an application functionality? The web in my mind is becoming much more about the underlying protocols rather than a browser based experience. Future specifications, including offline storage, will increase this type of behavior. Designing applications, primarily for the iPhone, is exciting because the models breakdown in interesting ways, and there is almost no way to anticipate every isuue without actually prototyping and testing.
Love it! It's what I spend my days struggling with! Can't wait!
If it were in the Western burbs or Schaumburg/Hoffman I'd be there in a heartbeat. Downtown's kinda tough.
i'm an advocate in documentating interactive projects using the user-centered approach not just for end-users, but also internal stakeholders. would love to learn from industry best practices that are out there. =)
I can't attend physically but would love to attend over the internet :) Can this be live broadcast on ustream.tv? http://www.ustream.tv/get-started
Yes, it would be great if this were also available as a simulcast! (Too far to drive.)
