Can you explain what that means? · Who uses the data and what do they use it for? · Having worked with and mastered a wide range of software tools over your career, what go-to approaches are in your consulting toolbox? · Can you give us a sketch of your approach to requirements capture? · How do you approach conceptual design? Both as an individual consultant and as a member of a team? · And translating a conceptual design into the full project? · What for you, is the essence of design? <and some questions from the student audience> Well, we’ll wrap up there.
