How long should UX take? Many executives set arbitrary deadlines for design work, expecting fast results without understanding the risks. But UX isn’t just about making screens look good—it’s about deeply understanding users, their workflows, and the business itself.
In this episode, Andy Van Fleet, Nick Bray, and Kayla Byington break down the UX timeline, explaining why the upfront discovery phase is crucial, how misjudging timelines can backfire, and the trade-offs between speed and usability. They also introduce the concept of the conservation of complexity—how UX teams either absorb complexity or pass it on to the user.
