When and Where to support understanding and communication of What and How

abstract In communication with stakeholders engineers tend to use the diagrams of their trade. Unfortunately, many diagrams are specialized and contain many abstractions to serve the goals of the engineering discipline. In this paper we discuss diagrams based on when (time dimensions) and where (spatial dimensions). We assert that when and where diagrams are effective in communication with heterogeneous stakeholders. However, these same diagrams also provides insights to the engineers; insights that very often get lost when using the more specialized diagrams of the trade.
