Do you find it gets hairy when you're having to work with teams and different people are responsible for researching, designing, developing different states?
I agree personal projects are easy to juggle in my mind, it's more that when teams get involved... things seem to sprawl really quickly.
is that something you've experienced?
- PaulHoule 5y agoNot really. Most organizations I have worked in have either been a startup or unit of a larger organization with 20 or so workers. That includes salespeople, data entry, grant writers, many of which are not devs, designers or management in charge of UX. Usually out of a few devs some people are focused on UX, others aren't. That's either because specialization is required (distributed systems, neural nets, ...) or chosen by developers (so and so hates React.) It breaks down to a few people who know how to code and a few who know how to draw. Specific problems come up such as: * difficulties managing contractors * politics (that academic library with 15 circulation desks each of which wants pixels on the home page) * consumer facing apps that have to seduce users into becoming involved but if you have a lot of people and need to make things that look like they came out of one mind you hire people like Johnny Ives or Bob Carmack or Tsunako to provide leadership.
- viztastic 5y agoWow that's interesting, thanks! I agree most people aren't directly involved in the website. I've found that for teams that are - the copywriters, product managers and designers have trouble coordinating who's juggling which priority. I'll share an idea I have in the next day or so, keen to get your feedback.
