Use Cases and Deployment Scope

iRise is used in the scoping function in both pre-Sales and pre-implementation function in the deployment of our enterprise software platform. A customer had introduced me to it on a call (pre-sales scoping call) and I was hooked. It gets a prototype in front of a customer within a day or two. I conduct my BA workshops using WebEx and showing the iRise interface directly to the customer, so they know how to add their comments afterwards. They have something to show to their internal team, and they love that from us!

Pros

I can show the prospects what the software/system will look like ahead of time.
The customer is bound to the ideas they put into place.
Customers want to be engaged actively, and their requirements management is amazing!
Other tools (Balsamiq and inVision) don't have everything all in one place like iRise does.

Cons

Designers love Balsamiq libraries, so rapid accessibly to that cartoon-y look and feel icons could be better.
Would like to see them to eliminate their Studio software completely. They're darn close.
Better in-app coaching on BPMN/UML, not just images available.

Likelihood to Recommend

I can keep up with our UX/UI designer using iRise, and he's on a Mac and loves the Sketch, inVision software. I often trump him, by having all the direct customer feedback in place. This also works well with Pragmatic Marketing's approach to software. Requirements can be coded in line with Pragmatic's Strategy to Tactical framework. Love this software!

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

When I worked for a large health insurance corporation that spanned multiple locations throughout the state, iRise proved to be a valuable tool to communicate design and interaction decisions across the company. iRise as a central hub for UX/UI and business requirements documentation allowed our team to effectively communicate with business stakeholders in cities hundreds of miles away.

Pros

High fidelity mockups
Business requirements documentation and mapping to controls.
Ability to use dummy data to show complex interactions.
Click-through prototype generation.
Simultaneous collaboration across geographic regions.

Cons

More template resources.
More fine-grain complex interaction creation.

Likelihood to Recommend

iRise is well suited to mid to large group collaboration and business requirements documentation. It's overkill and relatively expensive for the solo UX/UI designer working with smaller clients. It's good for mapping out and displaying complex interactions and getting buy in from stakeholders where a more simplistic mockup may not convey the interaction sufficiently.
