The way most digital products are built is messy and use broken processes. OOUX, by setting a common language among teams early, eases conflict because everyone has more confidence in the end goals of what they are building. Reducing conflict allows teams to collaborate better and build faster. I've done this with multiple clients and it's been valuable in taming complexity.
My entire time as a UX Designer (10+ years), I have worked on systems of increasing complexity. I wanted to dig deeper into OOUX because not only did I want to be able to learn new techniques to unravel complexity, but I want to also be able to explain that complexity to my teammates and stakeholders. The ORCA process provides a visual framework that is scalable to fit any busy schedule and timeline. In other words, it makes the information architecture process more meaningful and fun!

As Mary looked back at the past year, it occurred to her that it was a year of big changes in the things that she did on a daily basis. Some changes were big and some were more granular, but it reminded her that, as a designer and as a person, she is capable of learning and change.
