structures work to include others.
Still collects toys and comics and
talks about fictional characters as
if they’re real.

Research How do people talk about the way they wish things were?
The things they appreciate? The things that bother them?!
Organization Values, mission statements, brand identity can often be
carried over and expanded upon."
Collaboration What does the product team think? How do they envision
the future?#

Clear and directive, not general and ambiguous. “Fun” and “engaging” are not strong principles.
Something you might do differently with another product or service. Things that should always be done don’t help distinguish your product
from others.
Push the team to say “no” to more options than they say “yes” to. Strong principles act as a filter helping the team to focus.
Help to identify what shouldn’t be done, as well as what should. Knowing what’s off limits is just as important as knowing where you
want to go.

The real test of a design principle is how well it helps the team discuss the design,
stay focused, and make decisions.
