Most redesigns Start With the Wrong Step.

Many teams start redesign projects by looking at screens.

But in complex software, the screen is only the surface. Behind element, there is a workflow, user role, business rule, or industry requirement.

If that context is missed, the redesign may look better but still fail in real usage.
