## What is a Codesign Process?
Ensure that [[Everyone is a designer|anyone who affects]] the product or service has visibility and ability to influence the outcome of the design if they choose to.
This can be by attending [[Design Workshops]] or maintaining awareness of *Design in Progress* via tools that support [[Open Design]].
This does not mean every participant needs to be checked in to a project with equal levels of involvement. Attention can ebb and flow but all participants have equal access to using their voice.
Learning to work with a codesign process also involves understanding that comments and suggestions you make, ideas or designs you submit may be ignored. Does [[Consensus]] have a role here?
Some people have the role of deciders and they are not equal to all, you can choose to work with this reality or against it by acknowledging [[Power Relations|Power]] with mechanisms such as an extra ‘voting token’ or physical sticker.
