Designer-Developer communication: how to improve UX of product development

“Why does implementation look completely different than what we designed?”

Stories compiled during years of design-development practice:

• How the problem predates the modern computer era, even back to ancient times when the role of “architect” slowly detached from “builder”
• How to bridge the mental gap in the developer mindset (hint: with good communication)
• The important role of documentation in the product development process - main attributs should be unique and orderly
• Clear communication and how to improve it across all roles in the product development cycle
• What is the role of agile in the modern UX process and how to apply it to enhance communication?
• Holy grail of product design: motivate shared understanding across all project stakeholders
