If you’re building something, it’s critical to thrash early. The biggest and loudest changes should be vocalized early on.
Everyone gets heard, opinions are out in the open and the design gets refined from there.
If it’s done right, there is little to no thrashing at the end and the project ships on time and on budget.
Here are two resources that will help if your project involves any kind of prototyping or wireframing.
Balsamiq
is a really neat online tool for creating and sharing mock ups.
If you’re more of a hardcopy person (I sometimes use both), Geek Chix has a super handy list of sketch templates you can print for wireframing.
Thrash early.
Ship on time.
Godspeed.
