Design is about bringing clarity to ambiguous situations by taking vague ideas for features and bringing them to life.
More design teams are facing uncertainty as companies shrink back to startup size, impacting the clarity of the roadmap.
In smaller organizations, especially startups, design teams often lack a clear path forward, with priorities shifting based on sales conversations and client demands.
Designers in such volatile environments are expected to navigate uncertainty effectively to avoid being perceived negatively for waiting for direction.
