UX test wins frequently encounter obstacles during the transition to development, as the proposed solutions may not be fully scalable, platform-ready, or aligned with agile methodologies. This will likely cause delays and inefficiencies in the development lifecycle. With the prompts at hand, designer can answer their own questions. Don’t get me wrong, it takes a team.

The Problem Space

As a UX team, Company X boasts a strong team of researchers and designers dedicated to crafting optimal design solutions for seamless e-commerce experiences selling apparel and footwear. However, navigating the myriad engineering, accessibility, and design factors is always a challenge. Limited bandwidth from cross-functional teams means is also a challenge. Ensuring the right build hinges on meticulous attention to detail; a single omission could jeopardize V1’s flawless launch, leaving no room for repeat production cycles.

The Solution

Excited to share a sneak peek at a project I’ve been developing – a set of strategic prompt cards designed to bridge the gap between design test wins and development. These cards are more than just tools; they’re conversation starters, guiding designers with critical questions that ensure our solutions are not only innovative but also scalable and platform-ready.
