Article Idea:

Axure Article

suggested by Dana Martinelli on 2008/02/18

I would like to write an article on the benefits of using the tool: Axure. I have 2 years experience with this tool and was responsible in getting it adopted as a core solution for Thermo Fisher Scientific and Hollywood.com. I can provide a sample of my writing if you like.

Ezra Schwartz requested this article.

according to what I have heard of Axure – I am eagerly interested to hear of your experiences
with a view to OmniGraffle, Concept Draw and Visio – other diagramm software – would you be so kind to summarize the advantages that accrued!? tia _ best regards _ holger

A third party writeup on this tool what be a great bonus for us all I think. Currently looks to be the best value software simulation tool on the market. Mores the pity it doesn’t include more specification features as well.

PS
Just when is Adobe going to step into this market?

In version 5 the specification document generation is more robust but rather confusing to set up. I agree, the prototyping and simulation niche is a place Adobe needs to invest in. The people who make Axure would seem to be great candidates for absorption. In regards to the article idea, I have written a full article that I would love to submit. Here is an excerpt:

“Where Axure shines is in the Agile/SCRUM development process, especially for remote team collaboration. From my experience, the Agile method morphs from team to team, but is the same in essence. It is in the iterative approach to software and web development that Axure works really well. When I start a project, I start at the 1.0 iteration. This is primarily a very low-level abstraction of the structure and navigation – I call this the XO document. As the fidelity increases and the Axure project grows into a more mature document, the iterative tracking of each instance of the project becomes very useful. I can go back to 1.4 or 2.4 of my document with ease. With HTML publishing built into Axure, I can publish to a live project blog where the client can track the history of the development (every client falls in love with this, by the way). In parallel to the publishing of the HTML prototype iteration, Axure can generate a Microsoft Word Document of the same interval which I save as a PDF for client download. This PDF is the main source of all client feedback, since they can add comments directly within the document. The client can explore the simulation, track, and comment on the functional specifications within the PDF. “
