How TheLadders.com Got Out of the Deliverables Business A Case Study #LeanUX | @jboogie http://talkingtraffic.org/wp-content/images/stack_documents.jpg
Who is this guy? I like to point Jeff Gothelf Currently:  Director of UX at TheLadders.com Previously:  Publicis Modem, Webtrends, AOL, Fidelity and an assortment of startups Blog:  www.jeffgothelf.com/blog Twitter:  @jboogie Email:  jgothelf@theladders.com
Job site for professionals earning $100k or more and the recruiters/employers looking to hire them. #LeanUX | @jboogie
Everything was butterflies and rainbows in our waterfall world I couldn’t find a pic of a waterfall, a rainbow AND butterflies….sorry. ,[object Object]
 Thick functional specs
 In-depth wireframe decks
 Long visual design cycles
 Late-stage user validation and testing
 Explicit hand-offs#LeanUX | @jboogie http://www.niagarafallscanadapics.net/Niagara-falls-Canada-rainbow-pdam2.jpg
We were in the deliverables business It was the way we’d “always” worked #LeanUX | @jboogie http://www.niagarafallscanadapics.net/Niagara-falls-Canada-rainbow-pdam2.jpg
…and then we became an Agile shop Moving away from big design up front and deliverables We needed to get out of the deliverables business! #LeanUX | @jboogie
Tactic 1: Style guides #LeanUX | @jboogie
Style guides get the mundane out of the way Allow team to focus on core design problems #LeanUX | @jboogie
Create a re-usable asset library Not just for designers, but for developers too! #LeanUX | @jboogie
Tactic 2: Collaborative Problem Solving #LeanUX | @jboogie
Design studios Focus the team on solving a problem, not implementing a solution #LeanUX | @jboogie
Outcome, not output Create just enough design to get started #LeanUX | @jboogie
Tactic 3: Pair developers and designers #LeanUX | @jboogie
Pairing saves time It also levels the playing field #LeanUX | @jboogie http://hoveringartdirectors.tumblr.com/page/2
