Comment on Forget Your Title, Focus on Results by Adam Reece

I agree that titles should be a good way for a client to identify a role of a person in the project, but we will never get everyone on the same page. If we really want the client to understand what they’re getting, explain what each person is responsible for in the project and forget the title. Sure, it’s shorter to say “User Experience Designer” but how many times do we end up explaining what that means anyway?

And far as filtering out the good and bad, I still stick to the fact that the work will speak for itself. If a client is holding onto a previous showcase that they don’t have the personnel to keep up that standard, that will reveal itself eventually and the client will have to find a team who can provide what they’re showcasing.

I agree the work matters more. It’s just that the client needs some way to understand what they are getting. That’s what titles are supposed to do. Unfortunately there are no real credentials to help filter good and bad people for the job in this industry. Even showing past work is hard. I know companies who show things they have done, and no longer have the people employed that actually did the work.

Nice work. Keep up the posts!

@James Nice work! It is really nice to break away from the normal hoopla of working on a project and just sit down and crank out some work.

@John Thanks for stopping by! It was a lot of fun, and a really great way to cut out all of the crap and just get a project done. I highly recommend it if you have a smaller project lined up.

We did a similar thing with a client of ours recently using Umbraco for the CMS and managed to put together the Cottonstone (cottonstone.co.uk) site in about 1.5 days total. Not an ideal way of working but refreshing to work without the normal restrictions!
