How to measure, manage and prioritize design debt.

1

Improve UX success by measuring, managing, and prioritizing design debt. We love Joana Cerejo’s article (by way of Juan Fernando Pacheco) as a practical guide to measuring and managing design debt, focusing on transforming businesses into user-centered successes. Design debt is akin to technical debt, reflecting the accumulated effects of past design and development decisions that negatively impact user experience. Check out her post: https://lnkd.in/gFXCCQqa Types of design debt: UX design debt ↳Directly affects business goals by impacting adoption rates, learnability, and user satisfaction. Operational design debt ↳Results from inefficient processes and poor organizational structures supporting design and development teams. Visual design debt ↳UI inconsistencies that undermine the product’s credibility. Testing and research debt ↳Lack of UX research and testing leads to poor user experiences and lower product adoption. Understanding and addressing design debt is necessary for enhancing user satisfaction and achieving business success. Joana emphasizes the importance of a strategic approach to managing design debt, aligning design improvements with business objectives for optimal results. We agree! Using iterative design and continuous research with Helio is an amazing way to reduce your design debt and create a business lift. #uxresearch #productdiscovery #marketresearch #productdesign

Instories has a huuuge design system 🙌 We have rules that help us decide whether to spend development resources on a component or not. I also want to note the importance of the technical specification for the component, it describes all the states, ux behavior, styles, layout... We created a template according to which the specification for the component is written so as not to forget anything ✨

Are you ready for the rise of fractional design leadership? Here's my prediction: 👉 By the end of 2024, companies will commonly engage design leaders in a fractional capacity. 👉 This could either look like... A. Design leaders engaging in contract roles to strategize and lead specific product initiatives supported by in-house teams. or B. Design leaders joining agencies specializing in fractional leadership, creating a leadership-as-a-service model. This could include additional support from teams sourced from either the agency or the client. 👉 Companies right now are balancing cash flow with growth and innovation. The increasing risk of disruption in every industry underscores the need to adapt to survive. Fractional leadership can jump-start areas where product teams feel 'stuck.' Moreover, fractional opportunities can unlock significant career-growth opportunities for designers, a path that is traditionally more scarce and has lower turnover than IC roles. What's your take on this? Is fractional design leadership the future, or am I completely off? 🤔 #management #technology #careers #leanstartups #future

Tip for the designers endlessly working on their portfolio: Don’t plan to create/rebuild the portfolio... Just document your work and process continously, it’s much easier, and brings more value to people that want to know your skills.
