Start ARchitect whenever you start your computer and leave it running all day
(If an application is running constantly, it is easier to get in the habit of
using it.)
- Develop a set of Analyst Groups that facilitates quick access to your
analysts. (Setting the Default Analyst Group on your ARchitect home page
increases the convenience of using the application.)
- Do data capture every day as it happens. (Doing a single interaction can take
as little as one minute. The longer you wait, the more interactions have to be
entered and the easier to postpone interaction capture "until you have
time.")
- Capture future interactions. (One of the best values of ARchitect is giving
everybody visibility into future interactions.)
- Keep the title and description short and sweet. (Minimizing the verbiage will
make interaction capture feel less like a lot of work and prevents
procrastination.)
- Create a single interaction for a group of analysts, not multiple individual
interactions. (This decreases the amount of work
required.)
