[Sigia-l] Farming out wireframe production (was: RE: "new" visio options ...)

[Emily Leahy]

Bryce, 
I've never heard of a company with an Interface group
having people outside that group do wireframes. Can
you tell us a little more about the kinds of jobs
these people do, the interfaces they're wireframing
and how well it works?  Do people in the interface
group review the work? How much ownership do they feel
over their work and do they take it badly when you
have to make changes for usability, etc?

Thanks,

My top reason for standardizing on Visio in our
organization is that I can guilt people into doing
wireframes as part of their documentation by making
them feel dumb. After all Visio is just part Office so
they can't tell me that the tool it totally foreign to
them. We give everyone a few customized stencils and
some examples and then it is up to them to do
wireframing.

When we did wireframes in tools like Illustrator it
was the responsibility of the interface development
group because only we knew the tool. Now that we do
them in Visio we find that they are done more often
because the tool is more accessible to everyone in our
organization.
