Every member of a team wants to know what career progression looks like and how they will be evaluated. I establshed this career levels framework to give my team confidence in our process.
Operating a modern design team in the 2020's pretty much demands that you have in place an effective design system with clear governance, roles, and processes. We named ours "Camino".
Product Management routinely cites Technical Debt as a critical piece of their product backlog. I introduced the concept of UX Debt to Dealerware and partnered with PM & Engineering to embrace the concept and improve our product with each subsequent sprint.
