Re: [Design] Design statement of purpose reviewed

Thank you Pau, and to all of the folks involved in the process. In addition to the UX designers, design researchers, UX engineers, and brand folks in communications, the Team Practices Group and Community Liaisons were intimately involved. Internal stakeholders and folks from the broader community played instrumental roles as well. Defining the statement of purpose was a truly collaborative process. It's been awesome to see it all unfold and it's great to see such a clear final product. Having jointly developed a shared understanding of the purpose of design within the design group and between the design group and their stakeholders may seem simple - and it is, as Pau articulated, by design (pun intended) - but going through a process like this is never easy. In addition to the increased and shared clarity around what design at the WMF is trying to achieve at a big-picture level, this document can and will serve as a useful tool in many different levels of decision making - from day-to-day team-level and product decisions, to big and challenging strategic decisions. Big thanks again to everyone who has been involved! On Thu, Dec 15, 2016 at 4:09 AM Pau Giner <pginer(a)wikimedia.org> wrote:
