Digital Design - even more so in agile.
In the past, everything was clear! The as-is-situation was analyzed, business requirements recorded, challenges derived, technical components solidly specified and a software design developed.
But since the world has become agile, specification has taken a back seat. Especially for complex IT systems in a company’s core business, the loss of clean design poses a major risk.
What do we find instead? Too much technology, too little thought through. Too much programming, too little design. And if there is any design at all, then only at the front end. Too much collaboration tool, too few images. Overburdened product owners, UI/UX developers left alone.

Experiences and lessons learned from IT design in the transition from waterfall to agile, using the example of large corporations in the German automotive industry. We can do better: The 10 rules for successful digital design!
