As somebody once said: It's kind of arrogant to think the only reason people exist is to use what you built. They actually have lives, like, outside the experience they have using your product, and so the first step of designing in a human-centered way is to recognize that they're humans.

Regularly commit teh codez.
Invite them in.
And drop in on their meetings, too.
Never “hand off”.
Encourage flags.
Get cozy with constraints.
Make decisions just-in-time.
Always be painting a picture.
A design process that includes, informs, and pushes engineering throughout is a
better one.
Thanks!
