Visualization

- Chanllenge & Selection The tool I use in most cases is visualization, in order to share the  same ideas and be sure "we are are talking about the same". As an IT  consultant my role is a bridge between bussiness area and technical  solutions, so for me it is necessary to be sure that my client  understands the solution in the same way I do.

I use simple drawing tools, hand made or images, to create a simple  schema or paper prototype of a user interface. If simple, it helps  other people to fix their ideas in the visualization modifing it. My  visualization is just an initial purpose, just the starting point of  the session and it will be completed during it.

- Application

When designing a new user interface tool, I start drawing each one  of the future screens and how the user will navigate from one to  another. Each screen is an slide or a peace paper scattered over a  table or in a wall. Then, each screen can be completed with new  information, can be merged with other screens or can be splitted.  Also the connection or navigation between them can be improved.

The client can move, draw, change and ideas are shared with  something you can see. The final result is an schema of the future  tool, but it also is a support for final users to imagine how they  will work, and how they will interact with the final solution.

- Insight & Approach

People gets confortable and relaxed when they see their ideas fixed  in something they can touch, see and share. There is some pain  related with "how I would share my exact idea and be sure you have  understood it in the same way I thougt". When we have something visual, we are sure everyone sees the same,  so my idea is fully shared with the other and we can be sure we are  in the same way.
