Prove DesignOps and Business Impact
summary
Uses the Design Maturity Index (New Design Frontier) plus a two-week listening tour to triage problems; finds designers spending over 50% of time in meetings (~4+ hours/day) and long delivery cycles with late-stage rework. Implements specific fixes: moves design into Jira, adds a shared whiteboarding tool, defines touchpoints (kickoff, cross-functional stand-ups, dev-design pairing), pilots with one team for six weeks (three sprints). Measured outcomes: ~6 hours reclaimed per designer, big drop in late-stage redesign, faster delivery and higher engagement.
