Design Quality

Paul Stamatiou, Principal Product Designer, Rewind AI

Paul explains why shipping well-crafted, quality products is hard, especially on a large team. He covers: • What is quality? And why is it so hard? • What affects quality? Leadership, organizational support, incentives, culture, skills, poor ticket/engineer fit, tooling, liberal use of "MVP" • Way of working with high quality: balance long-term and short-term design; close the gap between design and engineering; determine what quality means for your team & set your quality bar; don't always jump to using existing patterns; sunset or re-evaluate old functionality; use what you've built before you ship
