Better User Experience Podcast #13: Managing the Developer/Client Relationship by Implementing a System

Newman Lanier November 7, 2011 0

These days everybody is talking about relationships.  And, so are we.

Ben and I talk about the nature of relationships between Business Owners and Web Designers.  We  argue for a process-based relationship, and argue against an ill-defined series of interactions … okay, call them  ‘One night stands’.

Without clearly stating goals and establishing boundaries,  fear and doubt [FUD - Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt] will creep into your interactions and it will harm the project.   However, by committing to goals and a process, everyone reaps the benefits of gradual improvement and ‘getting what you want’… unless you don’t want to be in a relationship.  It’s complicated – We plan to write about this more. Check back for future blog posts.

Also, we chat a bit about card sorting tools.
