PROJECT RETROSPECTIVES
Agile Prague 2016 - UX is team work
Verbal communication:
Facilitator & Leader
Facilitator language
• Warm and neutral
• Active listening
• Passive and inclusive tone
“How about…”
“Maybe we can…”
“What if…”
@MARIANAMOTA
Leader language
• Competence
• Expert
• Direct and muscular language
“That’s absolutely right, and here’s why…”
“I completely agree because…”
“This is my plan…”
@MARIANAMOTA
https://medium.com/shopify-ux/fresh-eyes-design-talks-ddecdb2cc237#.x7hydvk0i@MARIANAMOTA
When asking for feedback:

• State clearly: 

Where you are at

What you expect feedback on
• Ask clear questions
• Explain the rationale for your decisions
@MARIANAMOTA
When giving feedback:
• Ask the current status of the design
• Question first. Comment last.
• Explain technical challenges
• Don’t refer to your personal taste. 

Refer to the briefing and user research.
@MARIANAMOTA
Avoid:
“I don’t like it.”
“Can’t do it” 

(without explaining why)
@MARIANAMOTA
Go back to the brief.
Gerry Leonidas in an interview for Talking Design
“Give it 5 minutes.”
https://signalvnoise.com/posts/3124-give-it-five-minutes
“If someone loses, you
did it wrong”
When negotiating…

like-your-old-man/
Let’s not settle.
We work with technology.
It’s always changing.
This process will change.
So,
Let’s keep meeting up,
discussing, improving.
So,
