How do we even begin a design for the user without getting into engineering prototypes?

Don't we need to do lots of iterations of prototypes and physical mockups to get design inputs from other people?

While these things can be useful, they're not always practical or necessary, No - we don't need to do lots of iterations of different mockups to get design inputs.

In fact, we want to explore the use space with our team before we even start engineering stuff, including the mockups. So how do we get started talking with our team about a design concept without having something to show them?

This episode describes just one way we could do it: how to get design inputs with flowcharts.

Support the showAbout me Dianna Deeney founded Quality during Design through her company Deeney Enterprises, LLC. Her mission is to bridge product designers to the world's quality initiatives and quality-minded people. She teaches product development engineers how to use quality and reliability methods early in design for risk, use, and technical aspects of a product. Engineers that use quality early and iteratively improve the design and the design process, and it helps them to be recognized as star performers. Her vision is a world of products that are easy to use, dependable, and safe – possible by strategically using Quality during Design for products others love, for less.
