Achievement
2013-2017
Series of articles about UX Strategy for UXmatters. The idea of a maturity model and a framework around it is born.
2017
A book draft based on the article series — I set up a new structure around patterns. 30% ready.
2019
An online course. Pattern description format was shaped up, homework templates were added, the framework itself took off. 70% ready.
2020
In Spring I spent 3 months sorting my endless notes for 7 years and updated the chapter structure. I started this series in Mail.ru Group, several years after I joined the company; when I moved to Raiffeisen Bank, I looked at the framework with fresh eyes, as a new person in a company — it enriched the material. 75% ready.
In Summer I finished the final draft of the book. True hardcore stuff. 96% ready.
In Autumn I worked with illustrations and proofreading. It led to being 100% ready.
2021
Editing corrections for the book draft, drawing and translating a couple of hundred diagrams, re-recording the online course in Russian, and starting an online workshop for Smashing Magazine in English. It was a hardcore— 10,000 minor and major corrections in the first round of editing corrections with Alpina publisher, leading to more iterations like that.
