Design Lead (DL)

"Oh man, the customer is gonna go wild when he sees this."

• Ensure that the 9Y Design Manifesto is being followed in the Team.
• Ensure consistency in the designs that we produce across the Team.
• Support the Activity Lead with design aspects. Represent the design discipline for the Team and be its spokesperson.
• Be on the lookout for better ways to do things. Talk to the HoD in your 1::1s about this and whether we can fold it into the standard design process.
• Ensure consistency of tools and practices within the project.
• Ensure that design tasks are distributed to the right Team members. Balance quality of work vs speed vs learning opportunities.
• Ensure that a design history is maintained, so that we can easily revisit earlier versions.
• Take part in meetings with the customer. Maybe not always, but usually.
• Know what the big picture and key goals for the project are, and keep reminding the Team of this.
