Design tip: Sketching a rough outline of your design on paper before you begin can help you bring your vision to life.
It doesn't need to be perfect.
Consider what you'd like to include in the design, and where it might look best..
The agile development methodology was designed for complex, non-deterministic, non-linear projects.
It prioritises being adaptive rather than predictive, reducing the leap of faith that’s needed before evidence is obtained.
Agile aims to break a project down into smaller chunks.
Cross-functional teams then use sprints with short-time frames to work.
I used to think agile was the enemy of good design, but then I realised it’s just that badagile doesn’t leave room for good design.
I resisted embracing an agile way or working because many of my experiences highlighted the weaknesses of emergent design, and didn’t make up for them with their strengths.

Big Design Up Front is an approach where a website, app, or software design is completed and perfected up-front, before its implementation is started.
It necessitates a waterfall process, and relies on prediction.
This was the prevailing methodology for decades before the advent of Agile.
Websites and software used to be very expensive to build, so.

The school builds on this solid foundation of learning, inspiring.
Designers may create technically impossible or expensive solutions if their work isn’t frequently integrated and tested.
Too much design up front (and any documentation) is wasted effort, as requirements will change or new solutions will emerge before that design is even implemented.
Design evolves over time and can take advantage of new learnings.
