Work Simpler.
Discovery
In first stage my design process, I like to clearly understand the business problems, goals, and user needs. I believe this is key for aligning early to successfully collaborate for the project.
Project Planning
Once we aligned and have a team understanding of the business problems, goals, and users needs, a project roadmap or outline is created to have an idea of project timeline.
Research
After defining business problems, goals, and user needs, I begin research by doing a competitor analysis as well as connecting with users to better understand areas of opportunities.
Wireframing
After getting a better understanding of key areas of opportunities for improvement, from the data collected I begin to wireframe and design ideas with multiple options to collaborate and test.
Prototyping
Prototyping is typically worked in tandem with wire framing to get higher fidelity visual and interaction. This allows for better efficiency to be ready to test with users in the next phase of the project.
Collaboration
During the research and wire framing stage, I collaborate with leads, stakeholders, and team members to align on design decisions before connecting with users to test to find more opportunities for potential iterations.
User Testing
After wire-framing, prototyping, and team collaboration, I will conduct moderated or unmoderated testing to gain more data and user feedback to integrate or continue with the prototyped designs.
Validation
After collecting enough data through testing, I would begin to analyze the data to validate any iterations so that we can make design decisions based off our user needs rather than subjective feeling.
Iterations
If iterations are needed, we would use this time to address any concerns and redesign anything that would improve the user experience from the testing and data collected.
Hand Off
After communicating test results and design decisions with the development and engineering team, I would begin to work closely with the team to reduce any road blocks or constraints.
Developer Testing
As the developers are creating the designs, I would be updated with any progress made on the designs and walk through the interactive designs to align and meet our timeline.
Project Launch
After development & egineering completes bringing the designs to life and presenting our updates to leadership and align on our results, we would launch the new product and go live.
Monitoring
We continue to monitor for any feedback or pain points we may face due to bugs or usability. If we have any issues, we would iterate any concerns as quickly for a positive user experience.
