Agility through cross-functional collaboration
The days of heavy specifications and documentation are numbered. The new currency of web and software development is shared understanding within nimble, small, dedicated teams. In this workshop, Proof founding partner Jeff Gothelf will teach you the collaborative, cross-functional ideals behind Lean Startup and Lean UX and demonstrate the power of highly cooperative teams. Through several hands-on exercises that demonstrate how teams work together to build a shared understanding, you will learn to:
- Reframe requirements as hypotheses
- Create experiments to validate those hypotheses
- Minimize the waste in your product development and design activities
- Collaboratively solve tough design challenges as a team
- Set your team up for success in Agile working environments
This workshop is not just for designers (interaction, visual, etc.). It is also for the product managers and developers who work with them. Bring your entire team.
You’ll take away practical skills to encourage:
- greater team collaboration
- rapid design tactics
- shorter feedback loops
- increased product validity
- all while increasing team productivity, efficiency and camaraderie.
In addition, this workshop will show you how these techniques solve the Agile/UX integration challenge.
