How do you work with designer? Just implement whatever designer believe to be best solution, or chime in on best ui ux etc.
As a PM, most of the time you have the last say before the design goes to development but you should also let the designer do their job. They’ll hate it if you do the design work for them or if you don’t let them problem solve issues you bring up. You should be the center point where you apply your own critical thinking and the opinions of UX research and development as well into the final design.
As a designer I appreciate the PMs wanting to be apart of our process. E.g. participating in our sprints, attending usability studies and debriefs, working on requirements and stories collaboratively, etc. It helps build rapport and shows us that you care about the feedback we're getting from customers to inform our designs. What we don't like is PMs requesting designs and finalizing all the requirements themselves without any prior research done on what people actually need.
What a stupid question. Just talk to them. Have you never worked in a cross functional team before?
Lol. I'm curious how "hands off" pms are. I have worked at places where pm almost never challenge design.
