Product Strategy

We align to strategic goals to transform an idea to a functional and effective product.

Overview

Software Product Design

Software product design is the process of understanding and creating visual and informative assets for a software development team

The first step of a successful outcome

What is software product design

Software design such as app wireframes, mockups, feature maps, and guides help a development team execute a project according to strategic goals and specified features and functionality. Developing a well-built software project can be cumbersome and resource intensive; features have to be described, acceptance criteria set, etc. Product design is one of the most effective ways to align stakeholders, communicate expected feature behavior, and visually create acceptance criteria for a development team.

Where design and development meet

Typically, front-end developers bear the responsibility of developing web applications. Software product design differs from software product development in that design is the creative and analytical aesthetic process while product development is the strategic process that outlines the software product’s goals, uses, and functionality. However, here at Asymm there is significant overlap between the two processes and what they yield to our customers.

Why Would a Company Need Digital Product Design Services?

Companies that approach Asymm for software digital product design and development services usually fall into one of the three categories:

For companies with projects in progress

A company that has already decided on what type of application they want to develop. They know the core functionality the application needs to offer but they haven’t designed all the screens, components, and features. This type of company profile wants help with designing their concept product and engineering it to exact specifications.

Understanding requirements

A key driver to clarify user processes and flows

Digital product design usually starts with creating assets that look far from what the finished product will. After our team understands requirements, features and functionality, and existing user data and demographics, we start to create the most basic deliverable in the design process, wireframes. Wireframes outline features and visually communicate functionality to both stakeholders and developers.

The importance of wireframes

Features and process definition

Wireframes align the product team and development team by precisely communicating exactly what a piece of an application will behave like, but not look like. It’s important to note that wireframes are more of an informative piece of the design process and do not actually contain design aspects themselves. Wireframes can be thought of as instructions or a blueprint for a software product that is not yet in the beautification, or UI (user interface design phase).

What to expect

Critical deliverables of digital product design

Wireframes are essential for outlining the user experience from a functional perspective and communicating to the development team what they will need to build on the backend to support this user experience. But there’s more to software product design than wireframes. Other critical deliverables that we create as part of our product design services and process include:
