The cost of change
37 Signals talks extensively about the Cost of change. One of the goals of Jumpchart was to not impede change. Several things happen during a normal web development process.
- Content needs to be found or created, and tagged to appropriate pages in a site
- Sections need to have names
- Sub-sections need to be added to contain additional info
Inevitably:
- Content is found or created late in the process
- Content needs to be moved, or deleted
- Top-level nav needs changed, added to, or deleted
- Sections become sub-sections, and vice-versa
In all cases Jumpchart forces no penalty for the inevitable revisions. Moving, reorganizing, and changing content is a quick-click process.
