Re: Don Norman on Manual Writing

When would analysis and design be separate?

Every company I've worked or consulted for had both efforts within a
project team. Spreading them out to separate groups proved to be
costly as the analysis work didn't have direct insight into design and
vice versa. The results of separate efforts were missed details and
detatched/disassociated/otherwise less than ideal results.
