6️⃣Experience Design Milestone

What is it?

UX design teams consult in the design requirements and are often part of the review or refinement of them. UX teams may create the task flows to detail the interaction design required (which also requires requirements documentation handed to them).

Why is it valuable?

The value of this milestone is that it helps the team see the outcomes of how the product or service will work. It ensures that the design is consistent, and that users can easily navigate and use the product. This step is crucial for making sure the final product meets the needs of its users and stands out in the market.

Who’s involved?

DID YOU KNOW?

Agile teams do not have specific departments! They all float across different duties. So, this means that a UX designer can perform discovery work, and play any other kinds of duties they desire. See how this works in the Agile Handbook's "Daily Life on Agile Teams".

The following duties are involved in this milestone. These duties are performed by anyone who commits to them on a cross-functional team.

User experience design duty
User experience writing duty
User experience strategy duty

When does it happen in a project?

The experience design milestone happens after teams iterate on the vision and scope milestone deliverables. Every time they perform a round of discovery, the experience design, vision, scope, and requirements evolve and need to be adjusted. Teams learn new things in research that shift their understanding of the problems they should be solving in MVP and MMP. This will cause experience design deliverables to constantly shift and be worked on in a project that's working in the Agile Ways of Work.
