The other designer on my team and I finally used the term #DesignOps today to articulate all our intense process definition work. Writing design standards, going from being reactive to semi-proactive, building partnerships with team leads, and setting up a centralized email address and UX agile board...

We're also realizing that DesignOps is flat-out what we want and need it to be. Guidelines posted online are pretty much just that.

(I do have an hci.social 🐘 account, but...eh)

Just published the battle-hardened Design Feedback Jam™ template for #figjam 🎉

Try it out! It might just be what you need to build up your design team/stakeholders' feedback-giving skills 🫰

Does your Design System have a name?

If it doesn't, let me attempt to convince you why that's something you should add to the top of your priority list 🤓

Can better operations save content designers buried in too much work? I’ve studied DevOps and feel many of the same issues and practices apply to our discipline.

Read my review of The Phoenix Project to see what my takeaway from reading it years before I called myself a content designer: https://app.thestorygraph.com/reviews/1afec7e0-5f96-4bbd-86dd-f64c41555df7

From #design consistency to #accessibility to making life easier for developers and bringing #ux dreams to life faster, in my view components are the most crucial aspect of #designops

This morning's hot take 🔥

#Jira is simpler than #Trello for any non-trivial task

#designOps

Heading to the #GSG Berlin office for a few design workshops. I'll also look to get the ball rolling on setting up a #DesignOps service. Very keen to get this going.

Y'all! You know all of these whiteboarding tools, like Miro, Figjam.

Are there self-hostable whiteboarding tools that are comparable in functionality?

We've been looking to evolve design at #GlobalSavingsGroup and are now considering dedicated #DesignOps team that encompasses our #DesignSystem. I've found that the vision that the folks the UK #DepartmentOfEducation have laid out really resonates with me > https://design.education.gov.uk/design-ops/

This differs from the #NielsonNormanGroup DesignOps 101 (https://www.nngroup.com/articles/design-operations-101/) in the responsibility of people management.

Anyone have any other points that I should consider?

Transitioning into #DesignOps ? This might give some ideas.

Even if the results might be taken with a pinch of salt, the arguments and structure is interesting from a #designOps and #designValue perspective

Some #GovDesign work from @DfE_DigitalTech@twitter.com’s #DesignOps team worth copying:

A publicly available page packed with “principles, guidance, and standards to enable and support teams to deliver joined-up, effective, user-centred services” at their department

-Have you seen the needle?
-Sure, it’s in the haystack!

But needle is a key spec for your design, and haystack is the project’s Figjam. Unless someone got tired and created a new, blank, v2 Figjam that no one know about. Maybe you did that last year. #DesignOps ?

do any of you know senior #product #operations folks (someone who provides pipeline & delivery leadership/design) who would be willing to take on a mentor role for one of my team members?

This was an interesting listen. Perhaps this is the future of large design organizations. #UX #Design #DesignOps https://www.audible.com/pd?asin=198713964X&source_code=ASSORAP0511160006&share_location=library_overflow

An #introduction, or reconnection for those who used to follow me at that Bird thing: I’m a professional engineer and designer with a keen interest in #DesignLeadership, #DesignOps, #UX, #InfoDesign, #DataViz, and #Typography. I currently work as the Head of UX at a major financial software company, where I lead the UX research, product design, design operations, technical writing, and localization teams. Before moving to the tech sector, I worked in management consulting, and, prior to that, I was a mechanical and industrial engineer working in aerospace and defence. When I’m not at my day job, I teach design at OCAD, where I’ve been a faculty member for over a decade. I’ve lived in Toronto for most of my adult life but given that my employer is now permanently remote I recently moved to the small town of Stratford, where my partner @kteahen and I have a house which is about to undergo a major renovation. 🤞
