RETROSPECTIVE.... My internship at Microsoft

Diploma project was great experience in terms of place, people and nature of work.

Seemingly uncomplicated project was mind boggling once I was exposed to the number of variables and complexity involved in decision making of product planning. While working on brief I ended up arriving at an unanticipated but effective design process which was appropriate within those circumstances in which the project has been accomplished. The Agile software development model has significant impact on design process also.

Although, by end of project I understood the importance of problem setting verses problem solving. Crafting correct brief is most crucial part of design process. I could identify the constraints and custom define my own brief in the project.

Design brief being exploratory in nature, I cannot say the project is complete. But industry experience made me ask and introspect the role of user experience designer.
