As a project manager, I’ve definitely been in situations where clients ask for features that are out of scope. Often they’re responding to internal pressure that wasn’t initially part of our kick-off discussions - and so our Agile processes typically provides us the flexibility to have a conversation about these new features; perhaps we can re-prioritize, trade like for like on value, or simply agree to add the features as well as budget & timeline.

I am not a graphic designer, but I do my fair share of drawing lines. As an analyst, I spend a pretty extensive amount of time on whiteboards or a sketchpad sketching out ideas before beginning wireframes. I don't see myself giving up my whiteboards anytime soon. However, I do have a sketchbook that has a flaw: I decide that this piece would look better over there. So I get out my trusty big eraser and redraw my layout. Nope. It definitely made more sense before. DOH! Where'd that eraser go?

In the age of information overload, no one wants to read through text-heavy requirements documentation. I’ve adopted a strategy of “show don’t tell” which requires less stakeholder effort while improving the quality of feedback and participation in the analysis effort. The cornerstone of this strategy is the wireframe – a universal communications tool that illustrates the user experience while providing implementation details that streamline the transition into the development effort.
