Abstract:

When I suggest collaborative design to some designers, I often hear, “Yuck! Collaboration is just design by committee!” They aren’t wrong. Poorly facilitated collaboration can kill a design project and demoralize a team. But the truth is, you can’t not collaborate. Whether you like it or not, you have to work with other people. You can work at them or with them. It’s your choice.
