According to Laura, "wire-framing activities actually come before any sort of user interface specification ". So I am a bit confused regarding this statement. Becasue if the wire-frames are done before the specification/func specs, the what exactly the role of a BA? Because some times the person who does wire-frames will do all the research to what to display on a website. So the BA has to look at the wire-frame and just write a requirement. So how this would be a challenging/interesting job for a BA? This is a very good article. According to Laura, “wire-framing activities actually come before any sort of user interface specification “.

What question are you trying to answer by having the customer name listed multiple times? If you are answering a question that someone needs to review, approve, and implement and this is the best way to communicate the information, then I would say you are using the right approach. If not, consider revisions. It's really hard to say out of context. It depends. What question are you trying to answer by having the customer name listed multiple times?

In this case the numbers would confuse them? So should I have 2 types of screen shots? One with the numbers and one with data?

So should I have 2 types of screen shots? One with the numbers and one with data?

So what I did was take the data sheet and added it as an Appendix A- Data Mapping. I left the numbers next to the labels on the screenshots but thinking maybe I should take them off. Not sure Question when I am mapping labels should I have more than one label for the same thing? For example I have “Customer Name” on 5 forms in my spreadsheet should I repeat it or just refer to it one time? Label 1 Customer Name Label 8 Customer Name Label 21 Customer Name Your right the data is not important to the stakeholders but more so to the implementation.
