šŸ”„ Learnings of the week

In this week's learning, our mentor- Eva Li shares the 5 things she wished she knew before starting in the product design industry. Let’s go šŸš€!

1: Managing stakeholders does not mean pleasing them

  • Don’t let stakeholders dictate your design decisions

  • Treat stakeholders as a source of data and a way to get feedback

2: Not having a product voice

  • The absence of a product voice makes it easy for the team to overlook the importance of usability.

  • By voicing your design opinion, you’re educating your team.

3: Don’t know what agile is

  • Agile software development is the iterative approach that helps teams deliver value to their customers faster

  • For example: Responding to Change over Following a Plan, and Individuals and Interactions over Processes and Tools.
