It doesn't work for me, because I'm bad at design unfortunately. But from my experience from client projects where I dive into code first to implement specs from my clients without having them a final design usually tend to be slow progressing projects. Sometimes they die half way because it works but it looks terrible and the user experience sucks, even though they know its not finished yet, it kills motivation by a dissapointing user experience. If you have a design which looks awesome, at least for me, I have greater motivation to get it work. The more detailed and comprehensive the design is, the more eager I am to make it work. But again, this is what works for projects I've done for clients. Personally I don't have any good finished projects, none of the methods I tried worked there.
