“I thought a logical solution was going to be enough to convince people to change the way we’re working. I was taking logic to an emotional argument. Emotion is what actually triggers people to change behaviour, not logic. You have to motivate people to do it, but then you have to make it easy for them to do it. It’s not a technical problem, it’s a people problem.” Click to tweet.

“We’re all on a quest for the perfect roadmap. But all of the roadmaps have one common problem, they’re essentially a list of features arranged on a timeline. The problem with the list of features is that the rest of your company and your clients view that as a commitment. That creates a lot of external pressure to keep building the things on the list, even though they don’t solve the real problem. Or they solve a problem that’s no longer your most important one.“ Click to tweet.

UX and Engineering are not two separate processes. They’re two areas of expertise within the same process, trying to produce the same goal. The results of our new process were fewer blockers, improved speed of delivery, better ownership over the design and better eye for detail. We’re both fighting for the same goal, which is a great user experience. Click to tweet.
