Adobe Workfront, an marketing project management platform used by millions of users, supports over 80 jobs-to-be-done. This overwhelming scale creates navigation friction for marketing teams, making routine tasks inefficient within an already fragmented software ecosystem.

✲ FINAL THOUGHTS

On Designing in Big Teams and for AI.

  • Designing in a large organization requires getting everyone (PM's, engineers, marketers, etc.) aligned.

  • Designing for LLM's requires working and testing in code to account for non-deterministic outputs.

  • Design teams can be engineering teams in 2026 by actively working in the production codebase!
