To connect the dots, Omkar asks four critical questions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>What areas can we invest in?:<\/strong> Shared documentation of the project&#8217;s current state, like a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uxpin.com\/studio\/blog\/customer-journey-mapping-mistakes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">customer journey map<\/a>.<\/li><li><strong>What are the best ways to solve these problems?:<\/strong> Your product vision or &#8220;north star.&#8221;<\/li><li><strong>What do we solve first?:<\/strong> This might be a shared set of launch goals, slide deck, etc.<\/li><li><strong>What is the experience?:<\/strong> What are we shipping right now? i.e., sprint plans, design specs, wikis, etc. Launch-readiness documents.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>To see Omkar&#8217;s Connecting the Dots Framework in action, check out the example scenario from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uxpin.com\/studio\/webinars\/how-to-design-a-plane-while-flying-it\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">7:00 in his Design Value Conference talk<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-framework-two-omkar-s-design-offerings\">Framework Two: Omkar&#8217;s Design Offerings<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Omkar&#8217;s Design Offerings framework encourages DesignOps practitioners to take a step back and ask themselves, <em>&#8220;What value does Design&#8217;s involvement add to different stages of product development?&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Omkar uses the Design Offerings framework in conjunction with Connect the Dots to create a set of product offerings from Design to the business.

With a single source of truth between designers and engineers, UXPin Merge reduces drift, writing code, errors, and other time-consuming activities linked to image-based design tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Engineers no longer have to interpret or imagine what a prototype does because they use the same components with the same properties, interactivity, and functionality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At UXPin&#8217;s first annual Design Value Conference in March 2022, we hosted five design industry leaders to understand Design and DesignOps at some of the world&#8217;s biggest organizations.
