User Focus: Both should have the best user experience as the main focus. Check by asking ” Does it work better for the user? ” Yes? Stamp it! No? Back to the drawing board.
Early Involvement: Don’t feel every design can go into codes… Developers should be involved in the design process early enough to enable agreement on what would work and what wouldn’t.
The Pre Hand-Off: Neither designers nor developers should be left out of the testing process… It helps identify errors faster.
Frequent Check Ins: After testing, both designers and developers should have frequent huddles to fulfil the product’s vision.
Pragmatic Communication: In cases of mistakes from a party, communicate with respect, It matters and goes a long way.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
