The waterfall & the wall

Everything must be perfect by the time you hit the wall here

Anyone who tells you it will be is lying.


Plans never cover everything.

You can’t know what works without a product that works.

Late changes cost too much.

Waterfall bad

“Designers must let go of perfection to produce rapid, iterative work: “90% right” solutions are par for the course for Agile. This can be counterintuitive, but for better or worse, Agile prioritizes the timeline over virtuosity. Certainly it makes designing to impress other designers harder. No great loss.”

“You can very easily end up with the wrong thing, and then spend a whole bunch of time and money changing everything around so that it’s right - and you’re changing things at the most difficult (read: most expensive) time to be changing things!”

It sarted with a wreck.



1. Give the consumers what they want.

2. Provide brand-insight to consumers.

3. Support regional flexibility.

Goals




Clear goals made agreement easier.

Involved client had feeling of ownership.

Screens in less than @c the time.

What went right?


Little effort was made to find out what the consumers actually wanted.

“The wall” was still in place.

What went wrong?


Thank you!
