So, here is the deal: The clients give me an analytic what give me the fully details about what their customer want. My mission is to build a web design plan base on the report. The good part, both of the clients and I know what should go to the homepage, and what shouldn’t. The bad part, it is hard for me to add some creative pieces to improve the design.
I realized that the design doesn’t need these creative pieces. The way I present the information of the report using chart, table, tab, carousel… itself are the personality of the design. The point is the report itself is different to other reports. Therefore, the presentation of this report will always different to the presentation of other reports.
At a developer, I love the ideal that the clients are always know what am I doing, and why am I do that. The clients would love this ideal too because they know what exactly they will have, and they are free from worry about it.
There are a problem of data-driven design: They clients should know how to make the reports, they need a good analytic tool. Don’t worry, they are business mans, they know what parameter that they need to track.
From this point of view, data-driven is the best. This is my humble opinion, and you?
yeah, it’s the best !
but you know about Agile process, right? It’s the same – try to make the client involve in the dev process.
I’ve learned about Agile recently. And I think not only in soft dev, really, some models of business should go agile, to eliminate the bureaucracy and maximize the effectiveness.
@Leonas I already discussed about Agile with Anh Hung, and yes, we found the good parts of Agile. Maybe I should ask Dan to teach me about how to make the client involve to the development process.
