The mission…

Page 3: Fighting the Urge to Own the Design

The challenge…

@UXtina #sharedesign

What we wanted to do…- Facilitate decision-making- Enable design participation at

the appropriate level- Be perceived as a teammate

and not a “design owner”

Page 4: Fighting the Urge to Own the Design

The plan…

@UXtina #sharedesign

1. Level-set

2. Opportunity & risk assessment

3. Participatory design

The execution…

@UXtina #sharedesign

How to collaborate:- Sketch what is known together - Brainstorm opportunities and risks (individual or

group activity)- Place opportunities (yellow) and risks (pink) at

relevant places in workflow- Discuss

How to facilitate:- Stay neutral- Focus on listening- Never assert expertise- Ask a lot of questions- Guide, don’t decide
