Building a UX Team: Design Operations

 

Now, we are going to dive into Design Operations, which is all about developing our approach to work and ensuring high-quality output. Design Operations includes educating teams and the rest of the organization on design thinking and processes, providing on-the-job training, and implementing tools and technologies to streamline design workflows.

After completing this section, you will have the foundations necessary to: develop your team’s approach to work, ensure high-quality work, educate teams and the rest of the organization, and provide on-the-job training.

2.1 Implement Design Tools, Systems, and Standards

Here are some tips for creating tools, systems, and standards to guide your UX design teams and keep them on the same page.

Design System

A design system is a collection of reusable components, guidelines, and assets that help designers create consistent and cohesive user experiences across an organization’s products and services. A well-designed design system can save your team time and resources, and ensure that your products have a consistent look and feel.

Some tips for creating a design system include:

  • Identify the key design patterns and components that are common across your products.
  • Define clear guidelines and standards for typography, color, layout, and other design elements.
  • Create a library of reusable design assets, such as icons, buttons, and illustrations.
  • Test your design system with real-world examples to ensure that it works well in practice.

Standards / Governance Documentation

Standards and governance documentation provides guidance on how your team should approach design, development, and project management. This can help ensure that everyone on your team is on the same page and working towards the same goals.

Some tips for creating standards and governance documentation include:

  • Identify the key areas where you need to establish standards and guidelines, such as design, development, and project management.
  • Define clear, concise standards and guidelines that are easy to understand and apply.
  • Provide examples and best practices to help illustrate your standards and guidelines.
  • Regularly review and update your standards and guidelines to ensure that they remain relevant and effective.

Author Documentation

Author documentation provides guidance on how to use the tools and systems that your team has created. This can help ensure that everyone on your team is using the same tools and following the same processes.

Some tips for creating author documentation include:

  • Identify the key tools and systems that your team uses, such as your design system, project management tools, and research tools.
  • Provide clear, step-by-step instructions on how to use each tool and system.
  • Include screenshots and examples to help illustrate your instructions.
  • Regularly update your author documentation to reflect changes and updates to your tools and systems.

Research & Design Tools / Owners

Research and design tools are essential for your team to create high-quality user experiences. It’s important to ensure that your team has the right tools for the job and that someone on your team is responsible for maintaining and updating these tools.

Some tips for managing research and design tools include:

  • Identify the key research and design tools that your team uses, such as prototyping tools, usability testing tools, and survey tools.
  • Assign ownership of each tool to a specific team member who is responsible for maintaining and updating it.
  • Provide training and support to ensure that everyone on your team knows how to use each tool effectively.
  • Regularly review and update your tools to ensure that they remain up-to-date and effective.

Build Book / Templates

A build book is a collection of templates and guidelines that help your team create consistent and high-quality deliverables, such as wireframes, prototypes, and design specifications.

Some tips for creating a build book include:

  • Identify the key deliverables that your team produces, such as wireframes, prototypes, and design specifications.
  • Create templates and guidelines for each deliverable that help ensure consistency and quality.
  • Provide examples and best practices to help illustrate your templates and guidelines.
  • Regularly review and update your build book to reflect changes and updates to your deliverables.

Strategic Artifacts

Artifacts are tangible representations of a design solution that help to communicate design decisions, facilitate collaboration, and guide implementation. They can take many forms, such as wireframes, prototypes, design patterns, user flows, and personas. Here are some tips for creating artifacts that are useful for UX design teams:

  1. Identify the purpose and audience: Before creating any artifacts, it is important to identify the purpose and audience of the artifact. This helps to ensure that the artifact will effectively communicate the intended message and be relevant to the stakeholders who will be using it.
  2. Use consistent templates and formats: Using consistent templates and formats for artifacts can help to streamline the design process and make it easier for team members to understand and use the artifacts. For example, creating a template for wireframes or using a specific design pattern library can help to ensure consistency across projects.
  3. Keep artifacts up-to-date: It is important to keep artifacts up-to-date as the design evolves. This helps to avoid confusion and ensures that team members are working with the most current information.
  4. Share artifacts with the team: Sharing artifacts with the team can help to facilitate collaboration and ensure that everyone is on the same page. This can be done through collaborative tools such as shared documents or project management software.

2.2 Implement Research Tools, Systems, and Standards

Here are tips on creating a research hub to house information from multiple places in one place so that it easy to access (and easy to use).

Establish a User Pool

A user pool is a database of users who are available for research studies. It can be a valuable resource for UX research teams as it provides a way to quickly recruit participants for studies. Here are some tips for creating a user pool:

  1. Define the criteria: Before creating a user pool, it is important to define the criteria for the types of users you want to recruit. This might include demographic information, interests, behaviors, or other characteristics that are relevant to your research.
  2. Recruit participants: There are many ways to recruit participants for your user pool, including online surveys, social media, and user testing platforms. It is important to be transparent about how the user’s information will be used and to obtain their consent before adding them to the user pool.
  3. Keep user information up-to-date: It is important to keep user information up-to-date as people’s circumstances may change over time. This can be done through periodic check-ins or by allowing users to update their information themselves.
  4. Use the user pool responsibly: When recruiting participants from the user pool, it is important to use the information responsibly and ethically. This might include limiting the number of times a user is contacted or allowing users to opt-out of future research studies.

Create a Research Hub or Folder

In today’s fast-paced business environment, companies need to conduct research on an ongoing basis to stay ahead of the competition. However, research is only useful if it is properly stored and shared among internal teams.
