Last week news broke that Adobe was buying Marketo in a deal that’s going to reverberate through the martech world for a while. For a while, I’ve been thinking about writing this piece about the place of design in companies, and this news presented an interesting case study. How do these giants treat their design.

And some tips to building your own :) Having some years of experience working with product teams, I’m pretty sure that this multidisciplinary and agile approach is the right one for developing innovative and customer-centric solutions that really make users’ lives easier. However, product development is not about the sum of each individual’s work, but it is all about how those people can work together in a sense of collective work.

One of the big problems I see with a product orientation (as opposed to a project) is in preparing for ongoing work. You might not start the next project for this product after you complete this project. You might have to round-robin projects for various products because you don’t have enough people to do all the projects at the same time. However, if you want to develop a product orientation, you’ll need to consider the future.

In my more than two decades of product management experience, with many different engineering and development organizations. Regardless of how great the teams are/were, there are always slips in schedule. I am puzzled by this. Even when with a great team, populated with hugely talented, and highly productive engineers, programs take longer than planned.

The hardest part of a designer’s job is evangelizing the impact of your design. Often times, it’s a matter of debate and something I like to call committee-jira-ticket-creation. Ultimately, these conversations are rooted in opinion and even you, the designer, will never truly be able to fully predict whether or not a design is “good/successful”. It is not my job to become a data scientist, but it is my job to uphold experience quality.

It was a Friday afternoon and I was feeling nervous. I was about to meet our biggest customer, an established enterprise owning some of the world’s most valuable brands. As our product helped companies, well, build their brand, it was a big deal. The meeting was planned to take only 25 minutes, so we got straight to the point. There had been a serious legal incident with celebrity images published outside of the license agreement, and the customer was now facing catastrophic claims.

Do you consider legibility important? Your users do as well. What makes a text readable? Do ugly fonts provide more legibility? Find out in this blog post. We at UX studio consider legibility, the readability of texts, a significant factor to keep in mind when designing screens. Good typographic choices play a huge role in the design process. It can also cause a painful struggle for both designers and product owners to make a final decision about which typeface to use for a product.

If you’d told me a year ago that product analytics were required for building great products, I probably would have laughed it off. Until I watched a talk given by Spenser Skates, co-founder and CEO of Amplitude, my view on product development was focused solely on the engineering side. But Spenser’s presentation opened my eyes to the fact that great products need more than great engineering — they need product analytics, too.
