that might not otherwise be obvious. It alsodiffers from the bubble diagram in that it is not the result of classification according to already-programmed use categories. Instead, it is the result of observations that themselves tend to createcategories.With these successes and ideas for future improvement in mind, however, it should be noted thatthe context out of which software design emerges differs in significant ways from that ofarchitectural engineering. The agile environment is specifically conceived to both bracketongoing change so that individual features of the overall product can be designed and to parcelout responsibility so that the development team is only responsible at any given time to reach astate of completion for individual

generalhuman subjects concerns, of course.ConclusionWe believe the success of our SGID method can be attributed to its alignment with our context.In our experience, engineering faculty like interpreting data for themselves but are very busywith substantial research obligations, so they appreciate that our reports both offer acomprehensive transcription of student feedback but with grouping and ordering to facilitateskimming and prioritization of concerns. They also tend to be quantitatively minded, so theyappreciate the inclusion of summary statistics with visual representations. With only about tenweeks in a quarter, our analyzing feedback in less than a business day enables clients to close theloop promptly and maximize the impact of course
