I really enjoy your videos Femke and are always to the point, so useful :)) Btw, I tried to download the Checkpoint Guide, but it seems, that the link doesn't work after entering the personal details (name, email). Can you possibly post a link where we can download it? Millions of thank you :)

You're so welcome!

Love your vids, always super important content! You're an amazing resource for startup founders, thanks for making these awesome videos :) I plan on implementing the Checkpoint Process literally today lol

[@femkedesign]

Glad you like them! Good luck :)

Thanks for sharing, very Educative

[@onyedikachiibejih9599]

Thank you so muchh for this amazing and educative video. Question: Please at what point in the checkpoint process do we do usability testing?

[@underscoreroa]

She mentions that during checkpoint two you share any research you've conducted on the concepts - so I'd say by the time checkpoint two comes around. In another comment she also mentions that she has several smaller maybe un-official check-ins with the working team before delivering check2.

@@underscoreroa Thank you so muchhh... I really appreciate your response 🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@chinochico]

First!!! Great tips/process... definitely will be passing this over to my team

[@femkedesign]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@nikitisza]

Great video Femke! I've been using this process in my work for a long time...but didn't know it had a name 😁

[@femkedesign]

That's awesome!

[@adavidov]

Another great video! Thank you very much. Question: do you often find yourself looping between Checkpoint #1 and Checkpoint #2 as smaller design iterations happen? If so, to these loops often happen via Slack/email, smaller meetings between you and PM or Tech Lead? Thank you.

[@femkedesign]

Yes! We have smaller, more iterative check ins with the working team only before aligning and delivering checkpoint 2

I loved understand more about process into Product Design. Thank you so much, for many resources and new ways of thinking. Mainly, how i can share all informations and decisions with teams and stakeholders. Thank you. From European Valley, Brazil

Working a full time job and side hustles, do you get burnt out? Or how do you deal with preventing burn out?

[@femkedesign]

I set boundaries and I stick to them :)

[@sofiaaquinogomez6947]

Hi Femke, I would like to implement this process in my company, but I feel that I need to convince a lot of people to do it. How would you do it?

[@femkedesign]

Hey Sofia! It helps if you can get someone from the product side on board, then perhaps you can work on a proposal together to get buy-in to try it for a project.

[@ranjithb2652]

When you have a tight deadline.. Probably you could avoid the 'giving life to flat screens' (animations ).. Great video.. 👍

[@femkedesign]

True!

[@pragatisaraf1354]

Can you show the process in the form of a visual timeline

[@sahildeshmukh1462]

How did you find your first job in UI UX? Have you did an internship in that company or directly got the job?

[@femkedesign]

Here is a video all about my journey: kzbin.info/www/bejne/f5_KfYmBfKp7fck

[@mellosheep]

What is an average timeframe for all these 5 checkpoints. If you can mention time frames of individual checkpoints, that would be great.

[@femkedesign]

Hey! I mention this in the video ;) Anywhere from 4 weeks to 6 months.

[@raulayala6607]

Thanks!!

[@raulayala6607]

Btw, the "uxforfreelancers" links are broken :S

[@femkedesign]

Thanks! Will update.

[@Rumblefiah]

This checkpoint system is completely at odds with your explanation of the double diamond and UX process video, so which do you actually use?
