Shaping Design, Designers and Teams
summary
Workshop-tested visual frameworks map people and teams to concrete skills and gaps using blob mapping, career timeline and radial charts; participants score competencies with colored counters (skittles) and write cards for mentoring or learning needs, then anonymize and import into Airtable for heat‑maps. An initial on‑the‑fly spreadsheet of ~250 items balloons to ~500 community‑crowdsourced skills, exposing surprising role breadth. The process produces mentor/mentee matches, hiring and training signals, and deployable artifacts (posters, online tools, Medium guides) that teams actually use to plan development.
