Which tried and tested tactics do you use to help your design teams be more successful? I use Ben Holliday's framing the problem questions, impact mapping and sticky steps in some form almost weekly.

What data do you collect about your team? What do you use it for?

To do DesignOps the skills of a designer is essential. The hard bit is the focus. People will pull you in all directions. The urge to please and receive gratification is always there.

Pleasing the individual needs of people is the equivalent of holding your hand over a leaky pipe. It's not sustainable. So then you’re getting into change management. You have to change the environment or the system.

This needs to be participatory. The challenge then becomes how do you involve people who don’t control their time.

After doing many retros with our new starters. We've created a space to help them connect with the people they work with.
Miro board welcoming our latest new starter. With photos of the office, team mission, key things to know, faces of all the design team, slack channels to join and what they will be doing for their first few weeks, complete with down time tasks to put up.

Here is part 2 of my DesignOps journey: uxdesign.cc/designops-the-re… Are you doing similar? Is your version of DesignOps a lot different to mine? I'd love to hear your thoughts :)

Doing DesignOps — 18 months of being resilient

It has been a year since my first DesignOps article “Defining DesignOps”. In which I talked about my first 6 months into my journey.

It's been great to see our design system team adopting our "component lounge". The goal was to lower the barrier to contribution for our busy teams. This has resulted in knowledge sharing increasing, which ultimately gives a better experience to our end users. 💕

Doing DesignOps? How many of your meetings are cancelled, or people pull out last minute? Me: on average 1 a day. #ResilienceRequired

After interviewing our researchers we created 4 pillars to focus our efforts on for research storage : 1. Accessible - Research needs to be findable and accessible 2. Onboarding - Researchers need to have a succinct induction
Picture of a poster: Research needs to be findable and accessible ​ • Everyone can access previous research when needed ​ • People know the locations of insights and relevant research ​ • Folders are consistently labelled across products ​ • Researchers own the structure they store their research within their product team

add value ​ • Standardised documents enables us to start quicker

and stakeholders ​ • Language should be consistent ​ • Insights are consistently communicated across 
product teams ​ • Insights have the full context
