My Operational Model
User Experience Design Process
Understand the requirements and target audience
Creates concepts to validate Flows, designs and content
User testing
Refine based on findings
Deliver to Engineering and iterate as needed
I create the stories describing what is needed from my team. Sequence following the business priority
Scoping the work with the team and making sure the understanding is aligned
Prioritization based on business and respecting team’s capacity/velocity
Depending on the type of request, it would be an usability testing story or defining how the experience should be
What is different on this approach ?
Validating/Optimizing
Validate/Optimize designs/flows before code (on every sprint).
Final Screens
Content creation together with Design creation.
Working Together
Designers, engineers and stakeholders working together and ahead of development sprints.
Understanding Dependency
Distributed team working together and understanding dependency.
Consumer Experience Design Sprints
Daily stand up, one person in the team (PO) helping organize the sprint
Including which requirements are in for that sprint and the team's capacity on every sprint
Internal CXD review/approval, weekly design review
So there isn't surprises when product is developed and also to create awareness to whom wasn’t involved on the creation
