Abstract

Little is known about designers’ experience in fast-paced sprint work. This article draws on case work research within consulting and in-house design teams that sheds light on this important topic. The findings indicated differences in digital designers’ practices and occupational experiences. Designers reported stress in working in extreme agile delivery teams and struggles in maintaining design integrity in scrum development. Resilience strategies that habituate designers in work contexts were also identified from the research. These stratagems combined remediating methods together with principled practitioner resistance. In the final inquiry, fifty-seven participants from in-house and consulting design teams were surveyed. The results indicated significant differences between the cohorts including higher levels of job satisfaction for consultants. This group also applied the remediating practices and positive resistance strategies to a greater extent than their in-house peers. These differences suggest that the occupational context of design is a fundamental influence on real world practice.

摘要

人们对设计师在快节奏冲刺工作中的经验知之甚少。本文借鉴了咨询和内部设计团队的案例研究，阐明了这一重要主题。研究结果表明数字设计师的实践和职业经验存在差异。设计师报告说，他们在极其敏捷的交付团队中工作时承受着压力，并且在 Scrum 开发中难以保持设计完整性。研究还确定了使设计师适应工作环境的弹性策略。这些策略将补救方法与有原则的从业者抵抗结合起来。在最终调查中，来自内部和咨询设计团队的 57 名参与者接受了调查。结果表明，各组之间存在显着差异，包括顾问的工作满意度更高。该小组还比内部同行更广泛地应用了补救措施和积极抵抗策略。这些差异表明，设计的职业背景对现实世界的实践具有根本性的影响。
