Goal
Outcome
- Shared understanding of the purpose of design at the WMF
- Increased trust between design and its stakeholders
- A sense of ownership, identity, and collective voice of design
- The ability to collaboratively prioritize and execute on improvements for pain points relating to design at the WMF
Output
- Collaboratively defined statement of purpose of design at the WMF, reflecting the input of design and its stakeholders.
Why
There is no clearly defined or shared understanding of the purpose for design at the WMF. There are arguably as many different conceptions of ‘purpose’ as there are people in design-related roles and stakeholders to design. Without a clearly defined and shared understanding of purpose, it is impossible to identify, prioritize, and execute on areas in which to improve in a way that reflects the genuine need of the WMF and design-related constituents: we do not know what we are solving for. The process of collaboratively defining a statement of purpose with design and its stakeholders will address some of the overarching symptoms of current pain points: strengthening the shared voice of design, increasing a sense of ownership in resolving their challenges, as well as rebuilding trust between design and their stakeholders. Once we have a shared understanding of what we are trying to solve for, then we can identify the most important pain points and figure out how to resolve them in a way that serves the common purpose.

Process roadmap and timeline
Warning: Dates are estimates only and subject to change
- Design defines initial proposal of statement of purpose phab:T139995 Done - August 22, 2016
- Collect design input
- Divide design into 2-3 workgroups
- workshop with each workgroup to brainstorm, prioritize, discuss
- Arthur + 1 rep from each workshop synthesizes, drafts statement
- Share draft statement w/ all of design
- Solicit further feedback/input
- If needed, refine statement til deemed ‘good enough’ by design
- Collect design input
- Validate draft with immediate internal stakeholders phab:T139996 (August 22 - October 14, 2016)
- Identify two representatives from design to assist with this phase (Sherah, Nirzar) Done
- Abstract high-level aspects/themes from draft Done
- Schedule validation sessions with immediate internal stakeholders (product managers, lead engineers, managers, etc) Done
- Asynchronously share high-level aspects/themes and draft statement with stakeholders Done
- Run validation sessions, collect feedback (September 19 - September 30, 2016) Done
- Design refines draft statement based on feedback In progress
- Validate drat with all WMF and broader community (November 8 - November 22)
- Asynchronous period of comment and input on public wiki
- Statement refined to incorporate feedback
- Statement finalized and published (December 14 2016)
- Use statement to prioritize focus areas of improvement and define plan for improving top-prioritized area (TBD)
Additional thoughts/considerations
- Strive to balance individual time investment with involvement in the process
- Balance getting it done with getting it right
- Be sensitive to feelings of wanting to get this ‘fixed’ NOW
- Strive to preserve autonomy and ownership within the design group
- Foster and maintain empathy between stakeholders and design
- Be cognizant there are/will be major scheduling challenges between all members of design and their stakeholders given diversity of the groups as well as competing time commitments
