I’m looking for the Community’s input on the list of responsibilities of a Product Designer.
Here are the ones I have identified so far.
Do you agree/ disagree or have something to add?
- Set design requirements based on information from internal teams and user research.
- Identify new product improvement opportunities.
- Analyze how a new product satisfies market needs and consumer preferences.
- Stay up to date on current industry trends and market conditions.
- Coordinate with other design team members to ensure consistent and accurate communication.
- Modify and revise existing designs to meet changing customer preferences.
- Work closely with product engineers to suggest improvements for products and processes.
- Present product design ideas to cross-functional teams and senior leadership.
- Brainstorm/sketch possible solutions or approaches (i.e., whiteboarding)
- Conduct user research
- Present research and design work for feedback and approval
- Run workshops
- Create a user flow, sitemap, or information architecture diagram
- Create a simplified sketch (i.e., wireframes)
- Create icons, graphics, and/or illustrations
- Create high-fidelity design mock-ups
- Prototype the flow from screen to screen (i.e., user flow)
- Explore the behaviour of animation and/or interactive components
- Present research and design work for feedback and approval
- Iteratively share with others for feedback
- Get feedback from external users on prototypes
