great reading Daniel

i wanna share my strategy , use when, i get project. one thing about clients is true they don’t have any idea about target (potential) customers. i usually , brainstrom , with my client to agree him on his/her target audiance. and after this , we enjoy speed dating with 1 to 3 persons of every job and ask them pinching questions.
your boss hired me to develop for you,
1. what is the problem you are facing with current working system(paper system of else)
2. what are your individual opinion about your job ?
3. what are your interest with this project as a stakeholder.(what benefit you can give to your company using automated software(web based system)
4. what are business needs accoridng to your job at your level. (e.g. an accountant may be asked to tell what kind of transactions he/she is handling, what does he not do with tradition sytems(current system))
5. most important i asked all about interface. do they like menu driven system , tab driven, or else. is there someone who is color blind.
6. check marketing documents to select suitable colors.

this list non-ending
