How would you deal with a conflict when an engineer thinks your solution is wrong? Have you ever faced this situation previously as a Product Designer?

Question

Anonymous · Accepted Answer

The times I've experienced engineers thinking my solution is *wrong* were times
that I didn't spend enough time understanding the product ecosystem or
collaborating with them to understand how a solution might be implemented. Since
then, I schedule regular check-ins with my engineering partners to ensure
viability, check for blindspots, and brainstorm solutions with them, as they
often have a better understanding of how the product is structured and operates.
Ultimately, I think establishing a strong working relationship with engineers is
key to shipping products effectively.
