Abstract
Before, while and after putting pen to paper we need to think through the problem. There are a few very important questions as preparation that we need to consider: Can you? Should you? What if you? These are key questions that any software engineer and visualisation designer should be asking. For instance, we may ask ourselves whether there any ethical implications to developing this software. What could be the ramifications of my design? What methodologies are there to help me work through these questions? We discuss these questions and provide useful guidelines to help developers produce suitable software.
