Why You Should Include Devs Early in Design w/Jeff Pease - Sr. Product Designer @SwipeClock

Listen Later

On today's episode, I sat down with Jeff Pease, Sr. Product Designer @ SwipeClock. Jeff has been in design his whole career, but he's had to evolve as industry trends led him into new territories. But even with the digital disruption of the 21st Century, one thing has remained constant for Jeff, the need to include developers early on in the design process. 

Here's what we discussed:

  • Jeff shares how he's in daily discussions with developers, regardless of what stage of the product development lifecycle his team may be in. 
  • Daily discussions are essential in a true agile environment.
  • The unique perspective developers bring to design discussions. 
  • How these upfront discussions can save a ton of time and money!
  • A simple design might not be as simple to implement. 
  • Why technical constraints should be considered before initial wire frames and how they should inform them
  • How these early conversations help uncover assumptions that could lead to design roadblocks
  • On the flip side of roadblocks, these early discussions can show where we aren't as constrained as we might assume we are
  • Why there should always be a clear line of communication between UX and Dev
  • How developers can be incredibly creative and assist in the design process
  • Jeff's pet peeve about working with product as a UX Designer
  • Why you should always respect the crafts of your co-workers, regardless of what role they're in
  • And the benefit of PMs doing early wire frames and mockups to help share the vision with the UX and Dev teams
