TRANSCRIPT
Who are we?

We have communication issues
Designers often hear:
“Then you can make it pretty”
“It’s just common sense, right?”
“Isn’t that a training issue?”
We have communication issues
Developers often hear…
“It’s easy…”
“Can’t we just…?”
“I’ve seen this done a million times.”
What is the intention?
Designers can ask: What data do we have that we’re not taking good advantage of?
EXPLORING
Developers can ask: What patterns (like navigational frameworks) do we want to start following early on?
EXPLORING PROPOSING
Both ask: Does this reflect our business goals and identity? If not this exact thing… what can we do? Is there something that gets us close? What if…?
What is the intention?
EXPLORING PROPOSING DECIDING
Both ask: What principles should drive our decisionmaking? Do we all understand the pros and cons of the choice? (for example, build or buy)
What is the intention?
