Template for Design Huddles

This template can help you gather your designers, creatives, and other stakeholders to discuss and review your design projects, share updates and feedback, and collaborate to find design solutions.

It gives you a structured layout that includes design ideas, project updates, and feedback option. If you want one place to manage your multiple design projects and ideas, this template is perfect for you!

How to use this template:

  1. Use Resources: Use this column to gather useful tools and content that will help with the design project. You can use the existing resources as a starting point, and start adding your resources down the line.
  2. Concepts & Ideas: List your design concepts and ideas in this column. Collaborate and discuss ideas with your teammates, and decide which idea is the best to work on.
  3. In Progress: Once you decide which design idea to work on, create a card or move the card you already created to this column. Update the card regularly so other teammates know what’s going on.
  4. In Review:  When the task is completed, move the card from the ‘In Progress’ column to this column. In this column, you can ask the stakeholders for feedback or review your work.
  5. Implementation: Once your task is reviewed, and everyone is happy with the design, move the card to this column for the implementation.
  6. Done: After implementing the design, simply mark it as ‘Done’ or move to this column.

Kerika has a Template for Creating a Customer Journey Map

Template for Customer Journey Map
A customer journey map is a visualization of the process that a person goes through in order to accomplish a goal. It’s used for understanding and addressing customer needs and pain points.
To understand this concept better, start with this great article from the Nielsen Norman Group: https://www.nngroup.com/articles/customer-journey-mapping/
We have distilled this down to a Kanban board with all the required steps that can be set up in just seconds using our free template.
How to use this template:
  1. Click on the USE TEMPLATE button and create your own board.
  2. Next, invite your coworkers to join this board. There’s a lot to get done, so hopefully you are not on your own!
    1. If you have stakeholders who need to know what’s going on, add them to this board as Visitors, so they will have a real-time view of progress without messing up anyone’s work.
  3. When you team has joined you, open the tasks one by one, starting at the top of the To Do column.
    1. Assign the task to yourself, or one of your team members. (A task can be assigned to more than one person.)
    2. Mark it as IN PROGRESS so everyone knows the task is underway.
  4. As each task gets worked on, people can contribute their ideas and documents right on the task card itself, so nothing gets lost.
  5. When the task gets completed, mark it as DONE.

The Kerika Elite: a group of our most influential users.

Kerika,

The Kerika Elite is a program we have set up to improve our product strategy and gather feedback from a select group of our most experienced and influential users.

There are two main elements to this program:

    • Kerika Elite will be involved in the earliest stages of our product development: we will share with them proposed designs long before they are implemented, to get early feedback on features that we are considering building, and
  • Once new features are built, Kerika Elite users get early access them so they can provide real-world experience that can help us polish the product before it’s released to the rest of our users.

Kerika Elite users have contributed greatly to our mobile development efforts over the past year, and we look forward to their advice and suggestions for our future initiatives as well.

Can you be one of them? Sure.  Anyone can nominate another user to be part of the Kerika Elite, although the final decision is ours to make.

Kerika Elite users are not compensated in any way; they simply enjoy being in the kitchen with the Kerika Team when we cook up delicious new dishes!
