📓 Learnings

📓 Learnings

Importance of a Clear Scope

One key lesson I learned during this project was the importance of having a clearly defined scope. When tasks lacked clear boundaries, it often resulted in unnecessary revisions and delays. Rather than waiting on my product manager, I took the initiative to define the scope myself, laying out objectives, constraints, and key use cases. This proactive approach helped streamline my design process and gave the PM a solid starting point to review and align on direction more efficiently.

Open Collaboration with Stakeholder

Another important lesson I learned was the value of creating a space where all voices in the design process are heard. By bringing stakeholders in early and keeping them involved throughout, we were able to surface concerns and gather diverse input in real time. This approach minimized miscommunication and allowed feedback to be addressed collaboratively rather than passed around in fragments. When disagreements came up, we could resolve them directly through open discussion, rather than relying on the designer to act as a go-between. It made the process more transparent and helped decisions happen faster and with more alignment.
