WebWord Weblog Posting Posting Date: July 12, 2002 Quality From Design (New Architect) -- "Simply put, there is no downside to designing before coding." (Comments: In light of the article I just wrote, I'm not sure that I agree with Alan Cooper.)
Reader Comments...
Can there be both? ...Are there situations where one or the other might be better suited, especially during a transition between 'extreme' and old school (stage-gate?) processes. I'm assuming a situation which is not self contained, where you would be working with different clients. Posted by: (the other)JS on July 13, 2002 07:31 AM
Summary: Alan needs clients. Did I miss something, like actual information, rather than Alan just promoting his consulting company? Why is this newsworthy? Posted by: Ron Zeno on July 13, 2002 09:35 AM
JS, you have a good point. I think that at least there are ideas that can be borrowed from the Cooper approach. I guess what bothers me about their methods is that they seem to relegate developers to a "coder" or "builder" status - just following orders with no room for creativity. Maybe A.C. is talking more about boxed software rather than web-delivered software. I see a lot of his stuff goes online, though, so I give up on guessing and just stick to what works for me.

Mr. Cooper seems to be using really old case studies over and over. Hasn't he got any new clients lately? ;)
