Navigating new terrain: Turning blue-sky ideas into successful products
Most designers & developers are experts at improving upon existing experiences – but how does your process translate to a brand new product? When you are exploring a brand new terrain, how do you figure out who your users are, find and validate your product’s purpose, effectively engage stakeholders, and keep your customer at the center of it all? When developing a brand new product idea from 0->1, your role on the team evolves as your team transitions from one phase to the next.
