Designer & Developer Collaboration survey results
In the lead up to speaking at Web Directions Summit 2018, I ran a small survey for designers and developers. I wanted to know what people felt was important to know about each other; and how people preferred to work together.
If you are curious about the talk, a video is available on Conffab and the slides are available on Slideshare.
About the survey
Summary:
- Survey was open for around three weeks, September-October 2018
- 176 responses
- 55% of responses submitted anonymously
- Survey was promoted on Twitter, Facebook and email lists
- Survey was not incentivised
It's no surprise that it was hard to get responses, people are busy and surveys take time. Even with retweet visibility to more than a million people, I got just 176 responses. Enough to make the data usable but still a small sample.
Response from design specialists was notably lower than people with development or dev/design hybrid roles. I chose not to collect deep demographic information; but I encourage you to keep our industry's well-known biases in mind.
