Design Template: Extra Large

  • Estimate: More than a month

  • Notes:

    • When creating the issue, use the label design-estimated-XL
    • All phases for this project should involve a higher level of fidelity. Examples include additional test participants, multiple versions of designs, and more revision, and refinement than designs for smaller projects.
    • Ideally, design should be given sufficient time in the problem space to explore and research.
    • Design should be happening at least one iteration before engineering is planned. If user testing is required before or after design, this should be factored into the design time.
    • These efforts require close collaboration with the Product Manager to scope and define the user problems being solved.
