Making the Most of a Design Engagement
by The Adaptive Path Team, October 22, 2007
Adaptive Path’s tips for their clients:

Recognize Design team's strengths, focus on that, set expectations high quality.

Keep in mind the core concept or design principles when implementation and operational details are in foreground.

Use budget for design work, not just communication.

Provide design team with proper resources: Time, information, money, people, passion.

Let go of your internal baggage.

Appoint an executive willing and able to make difficult decisions in the best interests of the product and its users.

Create a core team dedicated, hands-on, and collaborative.

Give effective and timely feedback.

Don’t make all of your cows sacred.

When shown distinct ideas for you to choose between, don’t ask order as if from a menu.

Execute what your committed to designing.
