| From: <[email protected]> | Thanks, Scott. Excellent points. The first really good pro-tools | posting I've seen. I was getting the feeling that the list was somewhat | anti-tool with the white board and disposable models. In this case | however it's somewhat amusing. The company culture is one that will not | allow non-IS personnel to have tools like that - not even Visio. That | was why I pushed into a white board approach. | | But it does bring up one aspect: how do you do successful | collaboration all gathered around a single monitor? Say you have 15 | people of different stripes on the team. Is there a | collaboration/design tool that can communicate on the many levels of | those needing to share information? (Business analysts, programmers, | managers, users, etc.) And do so without having to crowd around a | couple of monitors in a conference room? | -steve --- If everybody can get together, we usually use a projector and have one person drive the drawing/typing/displaying. The need to make your thoughts clear to the driver (as opposed to just drawing them on the board yourself) usually helps to clarify the thoughts. If we're distributed, or if we don't have a projector available, we usually use NetMeeting - even if we're all in one room. Note that NetMeeting does allow you to hand off control of the open application, so you can let people do their own drawing/typing. scott -- scott preece motorola urbana design center (il67), 1800 s. oak st., champaign, il 61820 e-mail: [email protected] fax: 217-384-8550 phone: 217-384-8589 cell: 217-433-6114 pager: [email protected] For more information about AM, visit the Agile Modeling Home Page at www.agilemodeling.com --^---------------------------------------------------------------- This email was sent to: [email protected] EASY UNSUBSCRIBE click here: http://topica.com/u/?bUrKDA.bWnbtk.Z2NtYS1h Or send an email to: [email protected] TOPICA - Start your own email discussion group.
