Designing websites and applications for large companies often involves a political tug-of-war to some degree. It’s easy to get stuck in a cycle of designing on the fly to accommodate varying (if not competing) agendas. Bringing a picture to the table, even if it’s the most juvenile sketch, can breathe new life into the ideas that matter.

I’m seeing this “View More” link a lot lately. More often than not, the hidden content is no more than a few sentences long. I’m guessing this was implemented in the example above to keep the ads at the bottom of the screen from appearing below the virtual fold in instances when the selection box on the right is wider.
This just a friendly reminder to go back and test the dickens out of even the smallest features. Hiccups like this can easily be avoided.

Very interesting article by Jeff Patton on how UX practitioners have adapted to work in Agile environments. We’ve had mixed experiences with Agile approaches. I realize the benefits to iterations and small changes, but its also hard to balance that with the long term planning sometimes required for things like global navigation. I’m particularly interested in extending what we have tried before for “parallel track development to work ahead, and follow behind.”
