Communicating the UX Vision: 13 Anti-Patterns That Block Good Ideas

As an interaction or UX designer, you've felt the general trend toward faster development, more work, and less discussion. Communicating UX Vision helps you identify the skills and behavioral patterns to present your work in more persuasive ways, and respond more constructively to feedback from co-workers and stakeholders. It's a fact that we all want to put great design into the world, but no product ever makes it out of the building without rounds of reviews, feedback, and signoff. As we spend time crafting, we become attached to our own ideas and it gets all too easy to react to feedback emotionally or dismiss it, when we should be taking the time to decode it and explain or adapt the design. This book identifies the 13 main challenges designers face when they talk about their work, and provides insights and strategies to help you recognize and overcome them so that a better design, not a louder argument, is what makes it into the world. Learn presentation tips that make stakeholders and other departments take your designs more seriouslyUncover valuable techniques to make feedback sessions more productiveUnderstand how to improve empathy with business stakeholders and learn to speak their language betterDiscover how to better understand your behavior and identify your personal anti-patterns INDICE: Introduction: Why Anti-patterns?
