Effective Design Documentation: A Practical Guide
I watched a YouTube video featuring Femke van Schoonhoven, a product designer at Uber, where she dives into the nuances of organizing design documentation. Here’s a detailed breakdown of her insights, focusing on what’s often overlooked in design documentation. Femke emphasizes the messiness that can accompany design processes. This disorganization frequently leads to misalignment among team members, especially when designs evolve over time. It’s common for designers to leave meetings with a clear understanding of the next steps, only to return with confusion and pushback because new stakeholders were absent during the initial discussions.
