Iterative Concept Design Creation And Refinement

A concept design is a creative process where ideas for solutions (alternatives) are developed without specific details. In this task, the overall system configuration is defined, and schematics, diagrams, and layouts of the project will provide early project configuration This process is often iterative, and produces several designs; it is likely that many will be eliminated and not developed any further. The chosen design(s) will be scrutinized and designed in more detail.

A Participant Role Can Be Filled By Different Professional Roles Or Stakeholder Roles During Different Geodesign Process Phases/Steps. For Example, During The Constraints Specification Step, The Advisor Role Is Often Assumed By Business, Community, Public, Resource Owner. Mediator, GIS Analyst, Technology Provider, Decision Maker, Scientist, Lawyer, Policy Expert; During The Domain Data Analysis Step, The Advisor Role Is Often Assumed By GIS Analyst, Resource Manager, Scientist.

Concept design does not have to be "quick." It is NOT similar to agile development in software development.
