Managing Design Debt
You are not alone
Does UX have to be at the mercy of the development process
• It wasn’t implemented to my vision
• Short cuts were taken and our goals were never met
• We didn’t have time to address all the issues we found in testing
• Lost sight of the value to users
• Shall we go on?

What if the UX and development could be more aligned in the overall product process.

Different POV
UX : Create a great experience through empathy
Agile : The highest priority is to satisfy the customer through early and continuous delivery of valuable software

STORY TELLING
What is the story you are telling the user?
• Introduce a new idea or behavior• How to do something• Build knowledge• Challenge• Escape• Connect• Improve, Heal
Story
• Beginning, Middle, End• Characters?• Challenges, goals?• Cadence?• Journey, Transformation, Lessons
(Added Value)
Proof reading
• Is the grammar correct?• Punctuation, spelling?• Is it clear and concise?• Is it consistent?• Jargon watch?
• Looking through your readers eyes• Do they understand the story• What will they conclude• What will draw them in• How do they relate to the characters
