Solve a discovery issue later in the process
I am stuck!!
I did some UX discovery for a feature that was not online beforehand, we brought it online, in doing so we had to keep legal team of the org as stakeholders, now the problem is they did not point out a particular issue earlier but now once the feature is live, they came back with it.
My issue is - my product manager is blaming it on me, that i was at fault, two things here - firstly, i did not take it in mail from him that he has signed it off, which i agree to and have learned my lessons, secondly that I did mention it to him before but he missed it completely, now he is backing off and I am just stuck in trying to convince my product that it was indeed signed off from them and they did not paid attention, now it all is coming back to me that i did not do discovery correctly or i am not able to communicate, urghhhh I am unable to sleep because of this, and now this has escalated to another level where my design manager is involved.
I don't know how do i defend myself here :/
