Following Brad Frost's Atomic Design Theory.
Early on in the project, and in my career, I prioritized aesthetics. This project taught me the importance of user research and spending the time to ask users questions. Without empathy, we are just making noise, a dog chasing it's tail.
One factor of this project that was challenging to overcome was the amount of tasks built up in the past by the development team. Our lean team had to work around the schedule of the development team's bandwidth. A new challenge for me.
Another challenge of this project was working through the pandemic and a 100% remote team. Plus, we had a dev team that was in the opposite time zone, 8AM = 8PM. Documentation and writing skills were essential for success.
