Subject: numbering, design doc naming

Jack,
Yes, I work with requirements etc... That utilize this type of numbering
regularly.

They are usually requirements documentation, not always called Use Cases.
This specific term is used to describe an artifact in RUP (rational unified
process). If you have a client currently utilizing this development process
for applications you will quickly find that they do not account for User
Experience or Interface.

numbering, design doc naming

A two part question:
Does anyone else work with design documents that include steps with numbering such as "8-9a.3-9a.1"?
Do you call the documents "use cases?"
Thanks,

Pixar @ the MoMA & prototyping b/c we design time.

Hey there fellow designers,

I wanted to encourage anyone who is in or near the NYC area, to make your
way to the Museum of Modern Art's exhibit, Pixar: 20 Years of Animation.

http://moma.org/

The exhibit is fun for anyone who appreciates these movies, but for
designers it is also a stark telling of the design process they use and
tells a story for us to think about emulating.
