What components or artifacts are required to get that common understanding? This is the one thing I see missing in many teams - working in silos without a common language towards delivering great experiences. rgds, Dan Enjoyable reading :)

Liked this – “Everyone was developing a common vocabulary and understanding of what design is and how they could do it better.”

What components or artifacts are required to get that common understanding?

This is the one thing I see missing in many teams – working in silos without a common language towards delivering great experiences.

The concept of remote team members is relatively new but we work hard to find new ways of collaboration through video chat, phone, web conferencing, and team sites with blogs and discussion boards. To stay in touch with reality, I visit for a few days at least once per quarter, attending those all-important department meetings, brainstorming, sketching, and the important face time with the talented guys I work with. In my ideal world, we'd all mostly work from home (or wherever) but with a coworking space that team members can use to brainstorm and collaborate, coming and going as they please. This requires that the team be super diligent, self-motivated, and have a true commitment to the organization and their projects. Not everyone can handle remote work and not all organizations can support it. The team I work with is mostly co-located though I work two hours away.
