This is brilliant Debbie! And absolutely spot on with everything happening within our industry right now. I’ve witnessed more and more product designers pushed to take on more PM based tasks and the customer experience and craft is suffering as the design role is in a confused state; as we take on everything and anything! Metrics and scorecards have taken over as every business wants to show results through design; but things like joy and feelings are hard to measure and getting left behind. Which as designers we know will improve those numbers dictated from those above. The ‘Time to release’ mindset needs to change to ‘time to value’ if we have any hope left and designers need to stop doing PM tasks and get back to what they’re good at, designing.
