Using Evolutionary Prototypes To Formalize Product RequirementsArnold Rudorfer
Boundary objects are artifacts that facilitate
communication and interaction between people or groups
functioning in different domains. Software engineers, user
interface designers and usability specialists have different
domain knowledge, different terminologies, and shared
terms with different, distinct meanings. Boundary objects
can help assist the process of designing software by
providing a common interface for communication between
professionals in different domains. The Software
Engineering department and User Interface Design Center
at Siemens Corporate Research used an evolutionary
prototype as a boundary object to help elicit product
requirements from their client, Siemens Medical Solutions.
This enhanced communication with the client and between
groups at SCR. This paper describes how the evolutionary
prototype functioned as a boundary object and how it
allowed software engineering processes and humancomputer
interaction methods to proceed concurrently
without the need for well-defined interaction points.
Working in different programs, formats and with different employees. I believed a company needs a document that standardized the production of information. I created this Document from a template I created in MS word.

6. Bridging the gap between the designers vision and the manufacturers approach What makes us different?
7. By approaching each project individually and establishing our role before the project begins, we meet your specific requirements and provide unmatched value.
8.
9. Target areas where we can add the most value, while leaving the other aspects of the project in your expert hands, or the hands of one of our strategic partners.
10. Plan where we fit into the process and also how we will effectively transition the program back into your hands.
11. Get up to speed on the program requirements and adapt to your organization quickly and efficiently.
14. Tools CAD We work primarily in Pro/Engineer Wildfire (Wildfire 2.0, 3.0, and 4.0). We also have experience using SolidWorks and can support this platform, if required. Prototyping We work with outside vendors for rapid prototypes (metal, plastic, castings, etc.), and through our network of prototype vendors can generally turn around rapid prototyping parts in as little as a few days. Analysis We use Pro/Mechanica for structural analysis and Pro/Engineer Mechanism Dynamics to analyze the motion of moving components. As required, we work with several outside labs for mechanical testing (drop, vibration, HALT, etc.). Partners at Pump have been directly involved in qualifying products per mechanical and environmental specifications, including generating test plans and hands-on experience in the test lab. Program Management We begin each program (in the quoting phase) by building a comprehensive Gantt chart in Microsoft Project. This allows us to readily communicate our assumptions regarding scheduling and resourcing with our clients. Throughout the project we use the Gantt chart to evaluate progress and alert the team (internal and external) to critical milestones, schedule progress, and potential pitfalls.
