Discovery and definition

• Goal setting (problem statement, hypotheses) and team-wide presentation
  • T285418: A way to easily and intuitively create and edit functions
• Design brief (goal, user stories, research needed, key user flows)
  • https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1p-H9TsE5CvPokeADQ434-AGXzvU02q4GFTVbVX7ocCs/edit#slide=id.p

Research and plan

• Conduct first round of usability testing with 2–3 variants of design proposals, being sure to center target audiences and measuring impact on accessibility goals and guardrails. Surface possible biases in user testing

• Share outcomes of usability testing with internal and external stakeholders

Design and develop

• High fidelity design proposal with variants
  • T296696: Provide a compelling, scalable, validated UX design for function creation and editing
    • T297467: Decide on the UX design for attaching and detatching (but not editing) implementations and testers
  • T320278: Copy: Language for "connecting" an implementation or tester to a ZFunction
• [ ] Share design updates (metawiki, newsletter) decoupled to T326277
• [ ] Ask for community input decoupled to T326277

(Engineering implementation happens here)

Test and iterate
- [ ] Test concept via an Alpha, Beta or Prototype with partner communities and those potentially impacted by feature, in their preferred language

Usability testing will be conducted in phase iota / goal 8.

Implement and refine

• Design review on updated software
