论文摘要
本文基于对专业互动设计师的定性研究(n = 20)进行了基础理论分析,重点是他们如何使用工具来管理设计思想。想法管理可以理解为现场个人信息管理的子类别,其中包括围绕捕获,组织,检索和信息使用的活动。想法管理与管理和使用思想作为创意活动的一部分有关。本文确定了专业交互设计师的工具支持的思想管理策略和需求,并讨论了这些策略的背景和后果。基于我们的分析,我们确定了十种策略的概念框架,这些策略由工具支持:保存,外部化,前进,探索,存档,聚类,提取,浏览,浏览,验证和协作。最后,我们讨论如何使用该框架来表征和分析现有和新颖的思想管理工具。
This paper presents a grounded theory-analysis based on a qualitative study of professional interaction designers (n=20) with a focus on how they use tools to manage design ideas. Idea management can be understood as a subcategory of the field Personal Information Management, which includes the activities around the capture, organization, retrieval, and use of information. Idea management pertains then to the management and use of ideas as part of creative activities. The paper identifies tool-supported idea management strategies and needs of professional interaction designers, and discusses the context and consequences of these strategies. Based on our analysis, we identify a conceptual framework of ten strategies which are supported by tools: saving, externalizing, advancing, exploring, archiving, clustering, extracting, browsing, verifying, and collaborating. Finally, we discuss how this framework can be used to characterize and analyze existing and novel idea management tools.
