Note 
* Design is never done. 
* A design project follows the same tradeoff as any other. There is no magic. https://fastgood.cheap/

Design process

Design process is iterative and differs depending on the design ask. The process outlined below describes the most common process within Status.

  1. Janitor creates a design epic and story(-ies) in pivotal; including order of use cases to be covered.
  2. Designer works on concept designs in Figma.
  3. Designer collects feedback from design team, and others when relevant, on concepts. Either 1:1, in a call or by tagging in Figma.
  4. Janitor updates design story to use cases covered by the design

Tech Review

  1. Janitor organizes a review with the relevant technical team lead, and others if necessary. Tech reviews are needed for new features, and any M-XL sized features.
  2. Designer updates design if needed.

Design Review

  1. Janitor organizes Design Review. Objective depends on state and complexity of design; Can be OK for handoff or collecting feedback in Research phase. Attendees: Designer, Developer, Nabil, Rachel, Hester.
  2. Designer updates design if needed (includes coordination of final copy).
  3. Janitor organizes a Design > Dev handoff call if needed.
  4. Designer adds himself to relevant GitHub issue and shares the design files
  5. Designer continues to monitor implementation activities
  6. Designer follows up to troubleshoot any questions during development and provide any additional specifications, components, screens if needed.
  7. Designer reviews implementation; Dev > Design
