What is designing in the open?
It is the practice of sharing our work or
process with others – usually the public

Why does it matter?
When you keep things to yourself,
others are left in the dark, and this
is at the expense of others and the
overall good.

Ways to design in the open
Sharing artifacts
Sharing bits and pieces
Sharing stories
Sharing alphas
Sharing tools

Owning a Home: designing in the open how-to
1. We all got on the same page, about what designing in the open meant, and how we could practice it
2. We started aligning our goals with the ones the developers sold the Bureau on long ago
3. We got our product owner on board, and convinced her to become an advocate for designing in the open
4. We wrote a proposal and documented all risks and advantages of taking this approach
5. We had a plan to execute and began publishing/working in the open as soon as we received approval
