Q: Should we use Henrik Kniberg's original illustrations, and credit him for this product development meme or whatever?
A: Nah, let's just recreate his visuals and call the whole idea our own.

- pravda 10y agoGreat artists steal!
- yitchelle 10y agoActually great artist evolve it.
- Mithaldu 10y agoCalled them out directly on medium for it. Doubt they'll bother to answer, but maybe a few people will see it.
- egypturnash 10y agoWow, their version is much more polished but completely drops the message of the image: the huge X over the first row. That makes it clear that it is contrasting two workflows, and saying "don't do this one". I read Metalab's version as eight stages of one project.
- whytaka 10y agoI knew I'd seen it before. Thanks for that.
- ZeroGravitas 10y agoThat blog also seems to be taking more credit than it deserves, with lots of internal links to itself and only really crediting the image itself. Henrik himself has various videos and slides talking about the processes used at Spotify, and it was in that context I first saw this illustration.
