1 Understand the problem

Before you start designing anything, you need to understand the problem you are trying to solve, the context you are working in, and the needs and expectations of your stakeholders and users. This will help you define the scope, goals, and criteria of your project, and avoid wasting time and resources on irrelevant or unrealistic solutions. You can use various methods to understand the problem, such as interviews, surveys, observations, personas, scenarios, and problem statements.

Propose a way forward to kick things off but expect it to have a short life as the intention is for it to be bettered as soon as possible. We call the process ‘this or better’. Then have everyone focus on the problem rather than an individual being right - this avoids ego issues. The answer evolves from the gestalt of the team where individuals all contribute different perspectives and skills.

2 Ideate and prototype

Once you have a clear understanding of the problem, you can start generating ideas and testing them with prototypes. Ideation is the process of brainstorming, sketching, and exploring different possibilities and alternatives. Prototyping is the process of making low-fidelity or high-fidelity models or mockups of your ideas and getting feedback from your team, stakeholders, and users. You can use various tools and techniques to ideate and prototype, such as mind maps, storyboards, wireframes, paper prototypes, digital prototypes, and 3D models.

3 Communicate and collaborate

Designing complex products with others requires effective communication and collaboration skills. You need to be able to share your ideas, opinions, and feedback with your team members, stakeholders, and users, and listen to theirs. You also need to be able to work together on different aspects of the project, such as research, design, development, testing, and evaluation. You can use various tools and platforms to communicate and collaborate, such as emails, chats, video calls, online boards, shared documents, and project management software.

4 Iterate and improve

Designing complex products with others is an iterative and iterative process. You need to be able to evaluate your prototypes, collect and analyze data, and make improvements based on your findings and feedback. You also need to be flexible and adaptable to changes and challenges that may arise during the project. You can use various methods to iterate and improve, such as usability testing, user feedback, heuristic evaluation, and A/B testing.

5 Document and deliver

Designing complex products with others also requires good documentation and delivery skills. You need to be able to document your process, decisions, and outcomes, and present them to your team, stakeholders, and users. You also need to be able to deliver your final product or solution, and ensure that it meets the requirements and expectations of your project. You can use various formats and media to document and deliver, such as reports, portfolios, presentations, videos, and manuals.

Once, I thought a STEM degree meant no need for documentation (I was young!). I was wrong. Documenting every step, from prototype to TRL 8, is vital. This is especially true for young engineers in a professional setting. Unlike university, colleagues handle diverse projects, some without STEM backgrounds. Documentation is key for clear communication with team members, managers, the and the chiefs. Plus, it's essential for reviewing and learning from errors. The documentation you write should be crystal clear, meaning everyone from different departments can clearly follow design logic and.

6 Learn and grow

Designing complex products with others is a learning and growing opportunity. You need to be able to reflect on your experience, identify your strengths and weaknesses, and learn from your mistakes and successes. You also need to be open to feedback, criticism, and suggestions, and seek ways to improve your skills and knowledge. You can use various sources and resources to learn and grow, such as books, articles, courses, podcasts, mentors, and peers.

For me, the most important thing is to make the most of every situation that arises and to draw from it a lesson not to be forgotten. Years of experience are important, but isn't it more important how much we make the most of those years? In my case, I usually have a first idea without being influenced by market solutions, then I make a study of the art, and then I execute it. I also consider it essential to brainstorm with people who don't even have the knowledge, because that's where you can get new and "crazy" ideas.

Complex teams require complex solutions, systematization of problem-solving, documentation of processes, and functional overviews. Processes like these allow you to anticipate where problems may arise and course correct when required.
