Frequently Asked Questions

Why do we need UX strategy before design?+
UX strategy ensures your design solves real user problems and aligns with business goals. Without strategy, design becomes guesswork. Strategy provides the framework that guides all subsequent design decisions and helps teams stay aligned.
What's the difference between UX strategy and product strategy?+
Product strategy covers what to build and why. UX strategy focuses on how to build it so users love it. They work together—product strategy defines the vision, UX strategy defines how to deliver that vision with great user experience.
How do you define success metrics?+
We work with you to identify key metrics that matter to your business—revenue, retention, user satisfaction, etc. We tie these to UX improvements and establish baselines so you can measure the impact of design work.
How long does strategy work take?+
Strategy projects typically take 4-8 weeks depending on scope. Light strategy assessments take 2-3 weeks. Comprehensive strategy with research takes 6-8 weeks. We deliver a strategic document that guides design and product decisions.
Can you help with pivot or redesign decisions?+
Absolutely. If you're considering a major pivot or redesign, strategy work is critical. We'll help you understand if a pivot is the right move based on user research and market analysis, and guide the direction if you decide to proceed.
How often should we revisit strategy?+
Review strategy quarterly as your product and market evolve. Major strategy updates happen yearly or when significant market changes occur. Regular small updates keep your roadmap aligned with business goals and user needs.
