• Treat the specifications and user experience design documents as breathing documents.
• Regularly the development and user experience design teams should exchange feedbacks, and incorporate collective notes.
• User experience designers should stick to constraints defined by product developers, should consider the viability of their design in the context of implementation and marketability, and should consult with product developers on viability of features.
• Product developers should not seek to define how each feature should work, but should rather define the broader project goals and product requirements.
• Both user experience designers and product developers should be involved in identifying opportunities, competitive analysis, market and user research, feature design, design refinement, implementation.
• Both teams should utilize an iterative and dynamic product design process instead of rigid, linear approach.

Moreover, I believe that the optimal product design and development process necessitates both product development and user experience design methodologies. I call this approach “product experience development” to emphasize the equal rolls of both fields in the overarching process. Product design and development focused on only one of the fields is incomplete and ineffectual.

The first thing to work was on the content theme, what will I share with the community and how will I organize it ? It was not easy for me to figure out because by profession I work in capacity of Project Director for RIA domain, but by virtues I design apps and hardware interfaces, and sail out the development. So the managerial and developer instincts contradicted within me.

Finally after some help from friends at work in form of a brainstorm session over the coffee table helped me shape the blog. Right from domain name to tag line, to content, I had to evolve my thoughts around the end users. Because whatever you do on web has to be shaped according the user’s perspective, even if it gonna be your own personal blog. User centric thinking has always helped me to architect and deliver the right solution to clients, and I believe its gonna be the same story here. If I can’t deliver content according the user’s need then I don’t think this blog should exist. What disturbs now as I write is, “Isn’t blog suppose to be medium of personal expression ?”, and the justification my mind throws to me is “Dude you are not working on a social blog, its gonna be technical, only place where you can express is in the Design category”. This is fine with me, in coming time I would bring out my thoughts on design and development here and I wouldn’t be satisfied till there isn’t any feedback, which I believe will help me refine my content. So kindly comment and lets have meaningful discussions !!!
