Business Analysis: Creating Storyboards and Prototypes

John: "Ranjan, do you know how to play chess?"
Ranjan: "Yes, a bit"
John: " You must plan your future moves.See things ahead. And that's the way systems should we made, today its E2(End-to-end) tomorrow it can be E3,E4 .. You must plan for E7. You have your limitations but keep one thing in mind: Make your systems Horizontally consistent. Symmetrical and modular. What I am trying to verbalize is that call each section as a 'thing' and that 'thing' should have similar properties. Later replace 'thing' by real names: Issues, meetings, Lists, product etc... follow this in UI also."
John is an architect and has extensive exp. of more than 150 systems for wall street companies. We are working together on my current assignments for one of the largest pharma companies. Here I have tried to capture my learning while prototyping the application in this presentation:

Are you sure HCL specific ppt can be put up here?
Storyboards sound interesting but somehow I lose on the screen-wide flowcharts,complex looking flow diagrams..et all.

Ranjan said...

No Manjari, this is no way HCL specifice. May be I should put a disclaimer that the content are mine and is no way related to thoughts of my Employer

Manjari Rai said...

Hey,you got me wrong here. I am convinced that the content is yours ....just take off HCL logo from bottom right corner of slide no 3.

Ranjan said...

I missed that... I made a semiliar ppt for HCL and forgot editing it.
