sketching
Shades of Gray: Thoughs on Sketching by Will Evans is a worthwhile read to understand the role of sketches and wireframes in the software and web design process.
I use an A4/Letter size (or larger) sketch pad to illustrate interfaces and note down thoughts while brain storming interface and communication/interaction solutions before I start producing digitally created wire frames.

In a guest article for the Harvard Business Review, Tim Brown states that Edison implemented Design Thinking while inventing the light bulb.
Tim Brown also states that implementing design during the end stages of development cycle is a tactical use of design and at best "and results in limited value creation" compared to strategically implementing design at the earlier stages of development where design thinking processes can generate the most value.
