Made designers find themselves in a situation where they require faster work. But how to manage this situation? How to explain the design process and protect it when interested parties think that the design takes too long?

Вати It is important to emphasize the cost for the user. One of the common mistakes is to present results as "ready". Emphasize that you are still testing and emphasizing that the design process is a way to maximize the user cost.

💡 One of the most effective ways to be transparent about the process and explain why the design takes time is to visualize it. Not as abstract two -crystalline or three -crystal diagrams, but as real, dirty stickers on a large Miro or Figjam board - with all parts of the work needed to produce the end results.

⚡ Use "Storm Storm" technique to visualize the complexity of UX work. This can be very useful to support stakeholders in the course of cases. You can also report progress regularly.

  • 📌 Emphasize the usefulness for the user
  • 📌 Ask for continuous time
  • 📌 To be sincere about the process
  • 📌 visualize progress
🧩 Summary: Protecting the design process is not only in the interests of designers, but, most importantly, in the interests of users and business. Emphasize the cost for the user, ask for continuous time, be sincere about the process and visualize progress.
🧠 Own considerations: Protecting the design process is a key element of project success. It is important to provide a proper understanding of this process with all the interested parties so that they can support it, not press on designers with the requirements to accelerate it.
