Creating Better Products Together. UX and Engineering Working in Harmony
summary
OpenJaw builds a single responsive React app by embedding engineers in low‑fi design sessions, pairing with front-end.com for UX, and running three-week sprints with story readiness, dev grooming and retros that shape process. Teams iterate 10–20 low‑fidelity cycles, reuse a design system and hold a “Clayton Clinic” for tricky edge cases. Guerrilla hallway tests resolve design disputes. Result: half the dev time on reuse flows and regular 6–8 week cycle from feature definition to customer release.
