Good point. It gives a common language, common metrics, etc.
I suppose my argument is, then, that good design shouldn't be collaborated on, but should instead originate in the mind of a single auteur, without the constraint of having to convince or even explain anything to others. As soon as you necessitate UX decisions be communicable and convincing, you begin suffer the weaknesses of design-by-committee.
- derefr 16y agoMost real design-centered shops (like Apple) do something in between: a group of people gets together, agrees on requirements, then each goes off and conceives of their own solution(s) to the entire problem. Then, they meet up again, and use that "common design language" to each, in turn, advocate for their design.
