Planning and Designing the Application
Example: TaskSpace
Creating the user interface is one of the biggest challenges in solution development. TaskSpace,
because it is composed of forms, provides flexibility in user interface design. The following is an
example of a TaskSpace screen showing a view of a case folder:
Work with the client to define a consistent approach to style. We recommend writing a Style Guide
that specifies standards for colors, skins, columns, labels, search criteria, sort order, and any items
pertaining to the UI. A detailed specification takes time to write, but it saves time during the
implementation phase of the project. Keep it simple and do not over-engineer.
Note: Design the Style Guide as a structured template to ensure that you are gathering the appropriate
information. Also use this template to show the client how things will be implemented and to track any
configuration changes. The result is to create a consistent look and feel for the application.
Example: BAM
With BAM, the first step in the planning is to identify the users; that is, the roles of the individuals who
need access to the dashboards. For example, one role can be the operational manager who watches
each case or process instance to ensure that it meets the Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) for
process timing and quality. Another role can be the Line of Business (LOB) executive who tracks
process performance against aggregate business goals. These two roles require different dashboards
that contain different reports.
Following is an example of a template for capturing this information:
