At Made by Many we practice a very iterative and rapid approach to wireframes. The client was paying for them as part of an agency’s ‘set piece’ best practice. sketch can be done at any time (and by anyone), regardless of where you are in the process.
This isn’t just a list of designers and developers, it’s also clients and business I have a love hate relationship with wireframes. In the last 10 years they’ve been a part of every web project I’ve worked on.

The right processes – broadly based in agile methodologies but this should not be limited to the development or production part of the job. There’s no doubt that buying in digital expertise, and getting down and dirty with hardcore tech and ‘the right process’ will move things along but, ultimately, it’s merely playing catch-up in a world where the pendulum of change is still swinging very rapidly. Another week, another blog post on the subject of “why creative advertising folk need to embrace ‘technologists and their geeky ways’” once again ignites vigorous debate.

The swan is slowly transforming from a grey into a white swan. I'm interested in the transformation phase in communities of practice. Most materials deal with the start-up phase of communities of practice. The book deals with various networks, and hence with a wider topic than communities of practice. This is the young swan swimming in the waters near our house (there is a lot of water in our area, something which made a Malian friend exclaim that this is a very dangerous place!). The first reason is that I looked around for materials about transformation/transition for a Dutch course, and

We need more process centric methods in enterprise social computing to make way for the acceptance of more opportunistic tools such as social networks. The above paper is related to another article, Beyond predictable workflows: Enhancing productivity in artful business processes , which also explains the two ends of the specturum, using email for collaborative activities is clunky and not contextual, and using a centralised workflow system is to rigid and is not flexible to encompass the intricate flavours of all situations, there is calling to allow room for “artful processes”

The is the fourth post exploring more about Community, Domain and Practice aspects of CoPs mentioned in the first post of this series on communities of practice (CoPs). This is the “where the rubber meets the road” leg of the stool, Practice .
They are about learning and putting that learning to practice, and learning from that practice in an ongoing cycle of learn/do/learn. This is the fourth in a series of blog posts I wrote for Darren Sidnick . I

The thing that caught me about this idea of Tension is often between those looking for formal process vs. But there is a direct connection to the tension topic in the final paragraph that talks about a Mike Gotta definition of process and practice.
Process is "how work should be done." I wrote about eating or fishing last week, and about the same time Bill Ives posted Is there Tension in Enterprise Collaboration (referencing Bruce Lewin's detailed thoughts in The Tension in Collaboration ). those that want it loose and human.

In our first post on Communities of Practice (CoPs) we disabused ourselves of the confusion between a community and the platform that allows a community to interact together online. Again, if we take a community perspective on our team work, we would include processes and time for learning while doing!
They can be useful tools for communities of practice, but they aren’t the same thing. This is the fifth in a series of blog posts I wrote for Darren Sidnick . I

The defense is ruled by the Beadle (ceremonymeister), the defendant is accompanied by two paranimfs (assistants, who play similar roles as best friends at a wedding :), all dressed up pretty formal as well.
In the Netherlands by the time you go to the defense the PhD work is practically done: the main critical moments happen a few months before it, when the dissertation is first approved by the supervisors and then read by the PhD committee members, who decide if it’s good enough to let you go to the defense. Tags: PhD proces This is something I wanted to blog for a while, but – hey – it’s better late than never :)

Some of the anecdotes that were not true were: eskimos have 100-s of words for snow cat survives ride in washing-machine you can breed 'bonsai' kittens by breeding them in a pot While working with people on communities of practice I've encountered similar convictions about communities of practice that are not true, but are nevertheless quite persistent. community of practice is an online platform I think people who belief in this myth do know that there are people interacting through the online platform, yet they are blinded to this fact by focusing on the online space
