How To Defend Your Design Process

Vitaly Friedman, a front-end and UX enthusiast, shares insights on how to manage stakeholder expectations during the design process. He highlights the importance of clarity and sincerity about the required steps for a quality outcome, avoiding the presentation of deliverables as "finished" and emphasizing their testing status. To preserve the design process, uninterrupted periods of focused design work are suggested. Visualizing progress and using event storming to exhibit the complexity of UX work is also recommended. This involves mapping the events, tasks, and activities crucial to the project on a timeline, to inform and involve stakeholders in the ventured process. This understanding can aid designers when they need to press for a reasonable project timeframe.
