In my previous role as a Junior Product Designer, I had to manage a project with limited input or direction. It was a design project to create a new feature for our mobile app. I approached the situation by first gathering all the available information and resources. I reviewed the existing app and conducted user research to understand their pain points and needs. This helped me develop a clear vision for the new feature. Next, I created a project plan and set clear objectives and milestones. I communicated with the stakeholders to align on the desired outcome and to get their feedback. Throughout the project, I regularly updated the team on the progress and sought their input to ensure a collaborative approach. I also proactively sought additional input from senior designers and UX experts to enhance the design. By taking a proactive and collaborative approach, I successfully completed the project on time and met the predefined goals.
