[IxDA Discuss] Do you ask for Functions or Scenarios?

[AJKock]

The reason why I thought scenarios might assist programmers (on top of
the feature list) is that scenarios might help programmers understand
how the user will use the program. If they understand that users will
need access to point A,B,F,G on a particular page and that they need
to send it all via email in a certain time period, they will hopefully
not design a program where you would have to go to point A,B,F,G on
seperate pages and add the info to the email. But rather have access
to A,B,F,G's content directly from the particular "page" you are at.

I thought it was pretty obvious that "feature list thinking" is what
leads to mobile companies creating phones with a list of non-used
features. If they understood scenarios, we might have had more "good"
mobile phones.
