<p>
“Because it sucks” is not a reason to redesign. “It sucks” leaves the scope wide open with no measure of success. Its a sure way to scrap the good decisions you made along with the mistakes.
</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
Instead, start the redesign with a question: “What is right about this design?” Use that perspective to identify specific problems and then target those exact problems.
