Common Understanding Session
As a UX Visual Design Intern at Viasat, I learned to kick off a project with a common understanding session. This session helps everyone involved on the project get on the same page about what they will be making and how to approach the project. I introduced this idea to my DevHack team and we found it got us all on the same page about what we were creating and how to get it accomplished. After this session, we were able to break off and each work on our separate parts, knowing that we all had the same goals in mind.
