PROJECT

PROCESS

In comparison to some industries, design management processes are relatively ill defined.

Over the years we have found the stages outlined opposite work regardless of the size and complexity of the task.

Take any stage away at your peril!

1 Identify/ define the task

Why, what, how, cost / benefit, risk.
Set the design brief, tasks deliverables and responsibilities

2 Review design resources

What Internal resources are available to manage and or outsource you creative task

3 Review proposals & commission

Agree terms, deliverables, deadline

4 Design concepts

Review initial ideas, agree amends, assess budget and timeline

5 Design refinement

Make amends , perfect & test

6 Prototype / preview / Proof

Test the concept before committing to large scale application

7 Implement / print / build

make any final amends then roll out

8 Assess / amend

Review the result. Learn and amend for the next project

If everyone is thinking alike... then someone isn't thinking.
