A long time ago. I discovered Mei Zhang’s post about when it’s the right time to apply specific product design methods.
And, for sure, it’s a common question not just among UX/UI designers, or even professionals design related.
Just keep in mind. As a designer, designing pretty and useful interfaces, and knowing user experience concepts and research methods are not enough to design a product.
You should also include in your capabilities the improvement of business knowledge, technology trends, communication and negotiation skills, etc.
That’s why I consider Mei Zhang’s a useful post, and full of valuable information, that you can take to improve your process since we need a ‘when to use what’ guide on paper or in this case a mind map.
That’s why I’m sure this exercise can help you in many different ways to improve your capabilities in several fields.
So, for each of the different stages of the design process, you will find the right design method to be applied.
