How most approach the design process

The current trend is a bit more…agile

What’s the difference?
Waterfall Agile
-Pre-planned and rigid-Multiple deliverables are measurement of progress-Linear and sequential-Difficult to adapt to change
-Adaptable processes -Breaks project into smaller pieces and acts on each quickly-Less linear-Focus on collaboration and face to face communication

Designers are doing this
Clients are doing this

Outcomes
- Controlled iteration- Client input and
collaboration- Satisfaction on both
sides

Recap of steps
1) Drop the comps– Set the mood,
create a conversation
2) Go only half-way– Get feedback and
buy-in to move forward
3) Give it your all – when you know
everything is right
