Product Design
Product Design is a multidisciplinary process that involves creating and developing products—digital or physical—by focusing on user needs, business goals, and technical feasibility. It encompasses activities such as user research, ideation, prototyping, and usability testing to ensure the final product is functional, usable, and desirable. In software development, it often integrates with UX/UI design to shape the overall user experience and interface of applications.
Developers should learn Product Design to better understand user-centric development, which leads to more intuitive and successful products by aligning technical implementation with user expectations and business objectives. It is crucial when building consumer-facing applications, SaaS platforms, or any software where user adoption and satisfaction are key metrics, as it helps reduce rework and improve collaboration with design teams.
