A potential way to enhance IA and interaction design deliverables

Parts that stood out for me: "Over the last year, we've started explaining design as "the rendering of intent." The designer imagines an outcome and puts forth activities to make that outcome real." "It seems pretty clear to us that the Global Entry team had a typical intention of many government (and non-government) design teams: get the service up and running... In contrast, the We The People team wanted to showcase that a government design team can produce designs on par with the best non-government commercial teams." "Well, everyone who participates in the rendering of their intention is a designer, using this definition." "Many of our design deliverables, such as wireframes, prototypes, and style guides, are as much about getting agreement on what we intend as they are to move our intentions closer to done."

Informative post about different kinds of IA deliverables and where they fit into the overall process.
