From vision to reality.
The key to repeatable success lies
in one thing: The designers' ability to adapt.
Your special mix of products, project,
size, skillset, users, and overall circumstance are unique.
If a firm tells you that they have a fool–proof,
one–size–fits–all process and demands
that you follow it, we advise you tell them to stuff it.
Our process is this: We listen, learn
and discuss. And then we work with you to craft a detailed
plan that makes solid and steady progress toward your
goal. We keep you involved every step of the way, and
in the end we help you introduce your new design system
to your organization, then support you through your product
release.
Projekt202 Blueprint: Solid
foundation, completely customizable for you.
We've crafted a flexible process
structure that allows selection of proper techniques and
deliverables to meet your organization's specific
needs. The scope, length and emphasis of each stage are
adjusted to fit the specifics of your project goals, schedule
and budget.
1) Define
If we don't know where we're
going, will we ever get there?
Goal: Project definition and formation
of process blueprint
Proper upfront planning prevents wastage
of your design dollars. The intention of the Define stage
is to ensure the project workteams set off on the right
foot, learn how to work with one another, and do not waste
time with redundant or unsynchronized effort.

2) Discover
Knowledge is power – and your best way to avoid
pitfalls down the road.
Goal: See the big picture
During Discovery, the lay of the land
is assessed and challenges are surfaced. We work diligently
and listen intently to ensure we clearly see the full
picture.

3) Design & Refine
Structured exploration and iteration
produces quick results.
Goal: Fully explore design options, select
and finalize hero approach
During the Design & Refine stage,
our team works with yours to bring the user interface
to life. Through our heavily iterative process, we assemble
the structural, interaction, control and visual elements
that compose the UI. At the end of this phase, a single
direction is selected, refined and tested to ensure it
meets all functional, user and development requirements.

4) Release
Preparing your design system
for implementation.
Goal: Smooth handoff of design to development
team and full organization
After the Design & Refine stage
is complete, we deliver the necessary files and specifications
that allow your company to truly own and make the best
use of its design. Our objective is to easily and efficiently
disseminate the rules, specifications and design assets
that ensure your design is implemented correctly and consistently – for
this release and all future efforts.

5) Support
Successful product releases require
a “whatever it takes” mentality.
Goal: Ensure the design works for you
As you near the launch of products featuring your new design
system, we do our best with anything and everything that you may need –
additional artwork, question-and-answer sessions, support to the development team
in reaching design compliance, additional design training to other members of
the organization, or UI-related messaging support to sales, marketing and tradeshow
teams.
You name it, we're there.
