Process
1. Research
Every project begins with listening. Listening is learning. What do the customers say? What does the team feel? Solutions are waiting to be uncovered.
2. Plan
What are the resources, the limitations and the budget? The planning phase is all about deriving the best product possible while juggling all three.
3. Design
Based on the info gathered, mockups are created and discussed. How will the audience respond? Mockups are then updated and any final touches added.
4. Create
The production phase begins! The right team is assembled and feedback is encouraged throughout the process to ensure deadlines and goals are met.
5. Launch
Work is not done after a product is launched. With metrics in place, the results need to be evaluated. Is everything meeting business goals?
