Before embarking on any redesign journey, consider this:
𝗖𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗔𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁: It’s not just about what you think needs changing; it’s about what the client envisions. A mutual understanding is paramount. A project redesign without considering the client’s expectations is like sailing without a compass—you might drift off course.
𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗮𝗹 𝗔𝗽𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗮𝗹: If the redesign targets one segment of a larger assembly, don’t dive in without getting every proposal greenlit. This ensures that the rest of the assembly remains harmonious and functional with the newly designed part.
𝗣𝗿𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: Perfection isn’t the aim here—clarity is. Before diving deep into the redesign, present an outline. This doesn’t have to be a flawless prototype but should highlight the cornerstones of the redesign and, crucially, any potential risk areas.
