Your team spent six weeks on a feature that got rejected in the demo. Your engineers built a prototype that totally missed the mark. This misalignment is the design fog, and it’s where most product failures are born in the uncomfortable space of the fuzzy front end.
In this episode:
• Learn why jumping to prototypes introduces fixedness, robbing your team of the chance to define true user requirements.
• Understand the symptoms of the design fog, including the silent assumptions problem and the premature precision trap.
• Discover how the Concept Space Model and the ADEPT Team Framework act as the rope and torches you need to pierce the design fog and align your team in a matter of hours, not weeks.
