Outsourced design development

When it comes to working for yourself or in a small startup, where the design life is concentrated in the hands of one specialist, this can be useful. For self-education and improving skills - also cool. But, unfortunately, the knowledge that media resources give us is not always suitable for outsourcing in practice: our approach to tasks is very different.

The product observes users more and works with real data, while outsourcing means working with the client's expectations and focuses on best practice.

Outsourced design development has its own characteristics:

Variability. The result of the design team directly depends on the wishes of the customer, which can be unpredictable.

Short term. It is always negotiated in advance, but on average 3-4 months are allotted for the design.

Great result on the first try. When you need to design 2000 screens in 50 scenarios in a short time, there is no time for mistakes.

Regular immersion in a new context. Normal practice is to switch the designer to another project after 6-12 months.
