Collaborate with developers early

Collaborate with developers early

Including developers early in app creation brings better results. While some designers hesitate to share early-stage ideas, this collaboration helps create more successful applications.

Good collaboration requires openness to feedback and clear shared goals. Developers provide valuable insights about technical possibilities and resource needs, which helps create realistic and achievable plans.

Essential collaboration principles:

  • Open exchange: Encourage ideas and feedback from both design and development teams
  • Technical validation: Use developers' expertise to verify feature feasibility early
  • Balanced solutions: Combine creative vision with technical requirements
  • Smooth workflow: Use shared tools that support efficient team collaboration

This partnership helps prevent costly revisions and creates better solutions for users.
