What's your biggest pain leading your design team?

DM or reply, and in return I'll get you early access to the beta of Design Team Tactics.

[Dave Cunningham @davecunningham]

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.

[Dave Cunningham @davecunningham]

What are the common things that stop design teams from being impactful?

[Doing DesignOps @DoingDesignOps]

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

[Doing DesignOps @DoingDesignOps]

This needs to be participatory.

The challenge then becomes how do you involve people who don’t control their time.

[Doing DesignOps @DoingDesignOps]

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.

[Doing DesignOps @DoingDesignOps]

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.

Are you doing similar?
Is your version of DesignOps a lot different to mine?
I'd love to hear your thoughts :)

I'm currently writing the next part of this journey. Is there anything you'd like to know more about? #DesignOps

[Doing DesignOps @DoingDesignOps]

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 @DoingDesignOps]

Doing DesignOps? How many of your meetings are cancelled, or people pull out last minute?

Me: on average 1 a day.
