Notion UX Designer

Why should I use Notion during the UX discovery phase?

Notion is ideal for use during the product research and design phase of large projects to centralize all product information, making it accessible to all team members. This wiki-style page allows you to manage the system's databases through features like search, tag application, page responsibility assignment, and validation.

The UX Designer Suite is perfect for your product team to use during the product discovery and definition phases, though it isn't designed for UI design. Using this system offers the following benefits:

1. Comprehensive framework: It provides a structured approach to common UX terms during the initial stage of projects, bridging business and product worlds.
2. Holistic view: With all databases on the same page, this template aids in understanding the complete picture and accessing key information quickly.
3. Collaborative platform: Notion's collaborative features make remote teamwork easier, fostering collaboration and ensuring everyone is on the same page.
