Yes, you are right. The limit here is definitely time and budget. However the key is to challenge your assumptions about what would be the best solution. It is more an attitude than an activity. Some quick pencil sketches is what I did for the most recent UI design. I forced myself to find three very diverse solutions. The funny thing is that the final solution was different from my initial three sketches. @Jeff: Hey, thanks for the comment. Yes, you are right. The limit here is definitely time and budget.

Ward Sun, 19 Oct 2008 18:31:53 +0000 http://clearcove.ca/?p=226#comment-33 This was a great read and definately an a-ha moment for me. Great timing too since I'm starting a new project this week. The metaphor of digging holes in different places is simple and easy to understand. I guess that one would have to really keep themselves in check so they don't waste time drilling too many holes because the distance from the surface to the "sufficient solution" might be greater than one initial (however inefficient) path down. Unless I'm mising something. I love the concept and I'm glad you shared your thoughts. I'm definitely passing this link around. Thanks. This was a great read and definately an a-ha moment for me.
