章节摘录
插图:Designers need to dig more energetically and personally into the actual experiences and processes of implementation. Even an isolated and unrepresentative implementation experience can wonderfully inform a designer's often idealized or inchoate vision of how implementation is done. I recommend it highly.There is a danger that a modest sample experience of implementation will unduly influence a design, if the designer's personal experience is all that is available——-it is by nature unrepresentative. Probably the best balance is achieved with concurrent engineering as the main design practice. Here, the true implementers are intimately involved in the design process; their broad experience provides the balance for a designer's limited implementation examples. (In the software field, this same practice sometimes is called just an agile method.)Pulling implementers forward into the design process makes its own demands. Shipyard workers who are skilled at following standard engineering drawings may be less skilled at envisioning the finished construct from the standard plans and sections, hence unable to catch mistakes or to foresee implementation "gotchas." Augmenting the standard plans and sections with richer visuals, even virtual-environment explorations, may provide the tools that lubricate the concurrent design process.
前言
I write to prod designers and design project managers into thinking hard about the process of designing things, especially complex systems. The viewpoint is that of an engineer, focused on utility and effectiveness but also on efficiency and elegance.Who Should Read This Book?In The Mythical Man-Month I aimed at "professional programmers, professional managers, and especially professional managers of programmers." I argued the necessity, difficulty, and methods of achieving conceptual integrity when software is built by teams.This book widens the scope considerably and adds lessons from 35 more years. Design experiences convince me that there are constants across design processes in a diverse range of design domains. Hence the target readers are:1. Designers of many kinds. Systematic design excluding intuition yields pedestrian follow-ons and knock-offs; intuitive design without system yields flawed fancies. How to weld intuition and systematic approach? How to grow as a designer? How to function in a design team?
