Define product design goals for design research Part 1

Note: This was brought over from the TLC crew repo.

A description of the work

The 18F UX Guide documents our practices well around research. But, it has a light design section that does not reflect our product design practices.

This ticket is to explore what this section could look like if we wanted to use this space to document 18F product design practices.

Tasks

• Review the existing Design section of the UX guide, and understand where it came from
• Review past conversations about a product design guide
• Identify questions that would need to be answered before adding to the design section

Next phase of work - Part 2

• [Outline product design goals for UX guide Part 2 #398

Possible topics include:

• Sharing design power with others
• Prototyping across fidelity and why (sketching vs wireframing vs coded prototype)
• Comparative analysis
• Design documentation and annotation approaches
• Design principles
