Early in the design phase, or when iterating on an existing component.
Steps
- Review requirements uncovered from your audit.
- Sketch as many different directions as you can for a component, narrow it down to 3-5 that work best with your requirements.
- Stress test designs for edge cases, mobile responsiveness, and variants.
- Share with the team for feedback.
- Narrow down the choices based on feedback.
Outcome
- More flexible, well-tested component solutions
- Reduced rework later in the design process
- Stronger team collaboration
