Even the most technically minded companies need to think about design. Working on a database product at a startup is no different. But this comes with challenges, such as figuring out how to implement human-centered design methodology at a technical company but also how to contribute to building a design process that everyone agrees with across the organization. This blog will detail how product design is done at MemSQL as well as highlight how to design enterprise products at a startup.
How Do We Define Product Design?Product design is the end-to-end process of gathering requests and ideating in order to hand off pixel-perfect products and iterations. There are usually two different ways of dividing work: breaking down multiple design tasks into steps handled by different team members, or each designer taking ownership of a product, or a feature, and designing in a full-stack way. At MemSQL, we develop each product with the latter model, which requires constant and proactive engagement with other folks on the team.
