Sometimes asking a question is not to get an answer. There are many reasons to ask questions during the analysis and design process.
So why do I ask so many questions?
- To reframe and start from the beginning
- To challenge assumptions
- To challenge constraints
- To get someone to state the answer out loud so everyone can hear
- To move the conversation or meeting along
- To flesh out what is known and unknown
- And of course, to get an answer
Ultimately, what I am looking for is the best user experience for the user and a more successful product. These questions lend to a better understanding of the situation which inevitably leads to a better solution.
