Is accessibility included in the animation strategy?

Absolutely. The skill includes a 'Must Have' requirement to include reduced-motion alternatives in the project scope for every animation feature.

How does this skill help Product Managers?

It provides a framework to quantify the business value of animations, helping PMs prioritize motion tasks based on ROI, usability impact, and user retention metrics.

Can this skill help improve app performance perception?

Specifically, it utilizes principles like Timing and Slow In/Slow Out to improve perceived performance, making apps feel faster without requiring backend infrastructure changes.

Does it provide guidance on technical feasibility?

Yes, it evaluates development trade-offs such as 'Straight Ahead' vs 'Pose to Pose' animations to help PMs and engineering teams establish predictable timelines.

Productivity & Workflow

Empowers product managers to prioritize animation features and justify motion design through ROI, business metrics, and strategic roadmaps.

About

This skill provides a business-oriented framework for applying Disney's 12 Animation Principles to product development. It bridges the gap between design aesthetics and product strategy by mapping specific animation techniques to measurable outcomes like reduced support tickets, improved onboarding completion, and increased brand trust. Use this skill to evaluate engineering trade-offs, establish prioritization tiers (Must Have vs. Nice to Have), and ensure that motion design contributes directly to the product's bottom line while maintaining accessibility standards.
