Stakeholders often give advice based on subjective preferences that may go against design principles and actual user needs.
protective measure
- Data-driven decision-making: Prepare objective evidence such as user test videos, heat maps, etc. to support design solutions
- Establishment of a feedback filtering mechanism: Distinguish between functional requirements (which must be addressed) and personal preferences (which can be archived)
- Setting assessment criteria:: Clear definition of success indicators (e.g., time to completion of tasks) and assessment of recommendations in relation to indicators
- Use of whiteboard projections: Rapid visualization of recommended implementation options and potential problems
communication skill
Use the User Story framework to explain design decisions (when user X wants to accomplish Y...). Prepare a list of pre-defined questions to guide the discussion to focus on the core experience. Invite real users to regular review sessions.
