Whiteboard-like Sheets for Agile Modeling On Walls
First, please read this: Agile Modeling Pictures.
Agile modeling needs lots of "whiteboard" space -- but that does not imply one needs official whiteboards. There are several alternatives:
- whiteboard sheets
- whiteboard paint
- whiteboard wallpaper
- bathroom shower waterproofing sheets (big, cheap, work as whiteboards)
- ???
The type of marker pen combined with the type of sheet is important. Note the hints below on complementary pens.
Comments below on a few options...
