The Role of the Wireframe

After reading an article by Peter Merholz of Adaptive Path – I’d like to hightlight it for you guys too. It sums up the conversations we’ve often had about the role of wireframes in relation to a project. Peter writes:

“I think the role of the architecture diagram, user flow, and wireframe belongs very much after the fact, after we’ve sketched and prototyped an experience. Those are tools to document what has been agreed through sketching and prototyping. They are not the best means for solving challenging design problems.”
