From Squiggles to Straight Lines: Sketch To Make Decisions & Get On With It
summary
Sketching speeds decisions by trading polished comps for concrete artifacts: quick dot-grid templates and min/max page sketches capture content and functionality, get developer buy‑in, and cut rework. Workshops use whiteboards, giant Post‑its, laminated portable boards and an overhead document camera for realtime remote collaboration; scans feed JotNot into Slack and Figma. Examples include a Tugboat PR workflow sketched into the product, a TV schedule dropped for an off‑the‑shelf solution, and Layout Builder patterns tested across 100 sites via paper prototypes and a Remarkable sketch tablet.
