My Design Process🚀
This is a design process which I had established after working with teams and different projects :)
Every team/organisation have a different design and management process. This is the design process that I was following in my recent projects which had helped me ship things efficiently. I am completely flexible to explore a lot of different processes.
Would love to discuss more on these with you, It would be a great help if you can guide me on how I can make my process more efficient🙂
🎯Define
Collect what, why, and data supporting the problem space.
Start writing the doc quickly and write the objective, current systems, and Jobs To Be Done, Scope.
Take quick feedback on this from your Design Manager and PM, iterate, and finalize.
Woho! Objective is crystal clear, & half of the problem is already solved now!🤙🏼
🥷🏼Execute
Now start thinking of solutions, convert solutions into the design and iterate quickly.
Take quick feedback from your Design Manager(DM).
Once you have the first version ready, Take open feedback from the team!
Don’t worry, nobody is going to judge you, these are all your people! You are going great, you are going to get awesome feedback, and most importantly several approaches to thinking about a problem statement and solution💡
🛠Improve
Discuss the feedback with your DM, Iterate. (Can connect with fellow designers also if you feel stuck).
Create V2, Take feedback from DM, and again Demo it.
Again iterate on feedback, and make the final version.
Complete the spec, and read it twice by yourself as a rookie(Can also connect with the UX writer at this stage).
Congrats you have a better version of the design now⚡️
🔍Review
If it feels good take feedback on the complete spec from your DM.
Get feedback from the PM.
Check everything carefully(Make sure you had left no edge cases & do the final UI check).
Clean the Figma file and then give the final hand-off.
Update JIRA ticket.
Banger! Respect for you man 🥷🏼
⚠️Cautions
Make sure you are not getting hand-holded anywhere and taking a lot of time from your managers.
Don’t start executing before you define the problem clearly.
Bring some good ideas to the table for the future.
Document for rookies to make your docs scalable for the team.
Keep attention to detail, make sure you are not missing any edge cases and complete UI according to the design guidelines/design system that the team is following.
