Deliverables that Work: Design Description Documents

Published by Rich at 12:55 am under Business, Design, Design (web), Powerpoint

Over on Vitamin - Robert Hoekman has posted a great template and ‘how to’ for a powerpoint slide deck that shows detailed use cases alongside wireframes or comps in an effort to detail all the interactions in a design.
Excerpt: The Design Description Document cures all of this. First, it communicates to the boss how each interaction will occur, so he has no questions. Second, it tells the developers exactly how things need to work so they know what to build and can immediately start cranking it out. Third, it gives the Documentation team something they can start writing about sooner than later. After all, if the developers know exactly how everything needs to work, odds are much better that the final product will be in line with the original design.
