This morning, I was in a meeting with an onsite customer. We were going through updating the workflow for the system we are developing. We used the whiteboard a lot...
At the end I suggested we took a picture of it and use it to describe the workflow; luckily he had a Digital camera with him so we did just that. I thought of it because I read someone had done it in an XP book a couple months ago...
Later on, I created a page on our wiki about the meeting, put the two pictures we had taken and added a few notes... and that's it. Most of what was important in the design of the workflow was conveyed ! We need to work on the design issues, UI, validation and the rest but at least the developers have an idea of what was discussed.
Another tool that looks fantastic for whiteboard capture: http://www.mimio.com/. Digital cameras are nice but they don't capture the detail that something like this apparently does. I haven't used it yet but I heard from a friend of a friend that it works great and I'm hoping to convince some work folks of the same.
