Be careful what you ask for

I believe that product teams get away with developing feature creep driven programs because a significant number of users believe more is better and will make purchasing decisions based on that thinking, sales are an enabler for bad development habits.

It would seem reasonable to think that only enlightened users can bring about better design through buying products that meet needs and not desires.

Therefor, good design processes alone will not make for a successful product. Organisations must engage with users in a two way dialog that educates both parties on needs.

Judging sucks

I was one of the judges at Phizzpop on the 14th. I cant believe the level of work created in just 3 days. We, the judges, were divided on two teams that went the extra mile. I wish we could have split the prize.

I'm not sure I'm judging material. That all said, MSFT put on a great event, everyone had fun.

When is a prototype not a prototype

for me..
'Prototype': Created when rendering ideation in to more solid forms that can be peer reviewed to produce a single candidate.
'Mockup': The presentation of the single candidate to stakeholders, used to gain consensus and sign-off in to implementation.

Every process is different.

I know how this man feels

I just wish I had his skills in dealing with multiple tasks
