by Hira Sameer Ahmed, UX Designer at DFDS
Get ready to embark on an exciting journey into the world of DesignOps within Agile teams, where the magic of creativity meets the precision of data-driven methodologies!
At DFDS, we are committed to fostering a culture of balance, quality, and efficiency in our design endeavors. Ensuring our design projects are not only top-notch but also stress-free, to support this mission, we have developed UX story points model. This model, grounded in real-time data analysis, allows us to accurately estimate the effort required for various design projects within our organization. By providing a structured framework for assessing UX project complexity, it enables us to effectively allocate resources and ensure a manageable workload for our team members.
Ultimately, our goal is to streamline processes, enhance productivity, and maintain a high standard of work while promoting a healthy work-life balance.
