I think another way of saying this is that early effective design prototyping (in conjunction with proper user analysis and ethnographical study) can uncover value opportunities and highlight effective design decisions that are difficult or impossible to specify beforehand. This is particularly pertinent since most software is not created but transformed from previous implementations. Much can be learned about the users from observing their current usage of the existing implementation. In other words it is a matter of semantics to say that the design creates the requirement or that the design exposes the requirement (which existed as a possible, unarticulated requirement not yet apparent).Howard Lenoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04822405577117240936noreply@blogger.com
