UX REACTIONS

When a new scrum team starts their first sprint

When I’m given a team of designers to manage

Any Windows update:

When I overestimate my ability to tackle a large project

When a pointless feature is explained to me as a “surprise and delight” for the user

When the new chief executive tries to lecture your team on the role of design

Heading into a Monday morning meeting after a long weekend

When a developer asks you to spec out your wireframe

When you’re new to a project and the team asks you to help present

When the developers discover my motion designs. On Friday.

When someone says you’re getting a little too attached to your project

When a project has a great kickoff but hits an early roadblock

When I think I’m going to nail the presentation but shit hits the fan

When you underestimate a task

Moving to an open office floor plan

When a feature that failed usability but was built anyway doesn’t perform well

When my boss needs someone to do updates over a holiday weekend
