Week 3 Update: Task Management System Project 🛠️ This week has been a bit of a rollercoaster with delays due to tackling a few critical bugs and making design tweaks. Specifically, I am addressing: Bug in task prioritization: Some tasks weren’t being properly categorized by urgency, causing workflow disruptions. 🐛 UI/UX Design adjustments: I am revisiting the dashboard layout to ensure a smoother user experience and make it more intuitive for users to manage tasks efficiently. 🎨 Notification system issues: Notifications weren’t syncing in real-time, which is crucial for keeping teams on top of deadlines. 🔔 While these hurdles are taking extra time, they’re essential fixes to improve functionality. I am making good progress and looking forward to overcoming these challenges soon! #ProjectUpdate #TaskManagementSystem #BugFixes #UIUXDesign #TechChallenges

Lo-Fi Design Wireframes as a Visual Companion to your Product Roadmap. Lo-fi wireframes are like a "skeleton" for your product design. They are typically associated with early-stages of MVPs, but their utility extends far beyond that initial phase. Here are a few reasons to keep as a tool in later stages of product development as well: 🚀 1. Clear Product Vision and Alignment. Lo-fi wireframes serve as a visual companion to your product roadmap, offering a tangible representation of your product vision. They help ensure that yiur stakeholders are on the same page. This alignment is crucial for maintaining a cohesive direction throughout the product lifecycle. ☎️ 2. Efficient Communication. Lo-fi wireframes enable efficient communication of ideas and requirements without getting bogged down in details. They are quick to create and easy to understand, making them perfect for discussions and iterative feedback sessions. 🧘♀️3. Flexibility and Speed. The lo-fi nature of these wireframes means they are inherently flexible. You can rapidly iterate on designs and make adjustments based on feedback without significant time or resource investment. This agility is key in adapting to changing requirements and priorities as your product evolves. 🔎4. Focus on User Experience Lo-fi wireframes allow you to focus on the user experience. They emphasize functionality and flow over aesthetics, helping to ensure that the product’s core features and interactions are intuitive and user-friendly. 👥 5. Stakeholder Buy-In Getting stakeholder buy-in is crucial at every stage of product development. Lo-fi wireframes are a powerful tool for demonstrating progress and gathering input. Their simplicity makes it easy for non-technical stakeholders to provide meaningful feedback, fostering a collaborative environment. Incorporating end-to-end lo-fi wireframes bridges the gap between concept and execution, ensures that your team is aligned, agile, and focused on delivering an exceptional user experience. Whether you’re working on an MVP or a mature product, don’t underestimate the value of these humble sketches. #ProductManagement #Wireframing #UXDesign #ProductRoadmap #Agile #Collaboration #UserExperience #LoFiWireframes #TechLeadership #Innovation #womenintech #womeninleadership

Don't miss Integral's Danny Preslar presenting at Agile & Beyond tomorrow. Smash Complexity Early On with Object-Oriented UX Design by committee sucks. Unless, that is, we’re talking about designing systems. In this case, a collaboration between domain experts, designers, developers, and product managers is paramount. Object-Oriented User Experience (OOUX) empowers lean teams to speak the same language, reduce rework, and align software directly to a user’s mental model of concrete, recognizable objects. With OOUX, your team can wrangle the complexity of a problem space early in the design process and bulletproof the traditional UX outputs that follow. What are the objects in the users’ mental models? How are the objects related to one another? What calls to action do objects offer users? What are the attributes that make up the objects? To create truly intuitive product experiences, ensure that the mental model of your target user informs the information architecture of the product serving them. “Humans think in objects. Users are human. And so are you.” – Sophia Prater

🚀 Design Handoff: Going Beyond Designer to Developer! When most people talk about design handoff, they typically mean the transition from designer to developer. But what about the often overlooked handoff from planning to the UI design stage? 🔄 Claritee solves this critical part of the process, ensuring you get everyone on the same page about what you're actually building before the UI design team steps in. Get it right and save yourself tons of time, energy, and cost later on! 💡 Avoid revisions, prevent scope creep, and streamline your project like never before. 💼✨ #DesignHandoff #UIPlanning #Efficiency #ProcessImprovement #ProjectManagement #DesignTeam #SaveTime #PreventScopeCreep #RevampYourWorkflow #ClarifyYourVision

Design Handoffs are dead ☠️ "For many devs and designers, the handoff process is a dreaded memory, often evoking thoughts of sleepless nights spent wondering whether every edge case was accounted for in the UI-Kit or whether an Adobe XD link had been accidentally overwritten by a careless team member, introducing mayhem in Jira. The unfortunate fact is that the designer community hasn’t pushed for any emulation of what has happened in the software development world. And what is even more astounding is the fact, that designers were present in the room all the time. Don’t get me wrong — the progress we went through in product design is incredible. Yet, not much has happened since Design Thinking and Double Diamond. Some things will never get old: cross-functional collaboration spiced up with next-level communication and the introduction of new amazing tools."

📐 Wireframing 101 for Product Managers: Day 4 Let's talk about high-fidelity: When wireframes become mockups Think of product design like building a house:  🏗️ Low-fi wireframe = rough blueprint (boxes and lines)  🎨 High-fi design/mockup = detailed visual design with colors, fonts, images When you're ready to move from low-fi: 🎯 Define visual hierarchy  🖼️ Insert actual images  🔤 Choose typography  ✨ Add real content  ⚡ Build interactions This stage works for: - Final design approval - Detailed user testing - Dev handoff - Marketing materials - Executive presentations The trade-offs: ⏰ Takes more time  🐌 Slows feedback loops 🎯 Triggers visual debates  ⚠️ Can hide structural issues Key lesson: Nail your structure in low-fi first. Only move to high-fi when the foundation is solid. PMs: When do you know it's time to move from wireframes to visual design? #productmanagement #design #UX

Struggling to understand your users? Design Sprints could be the answer. These rapid, structured problem-solving sessions help you gain invaluable user insights in just 5 days.
