Abstract
Let’s have some fun! No prior design experience required. This will be a lively, interactive exercise where we explore a user-centric and pencil-first approach to software design & development. In this hands-on workshop we will walk through some tried-and-true methods to:
- Listen to users to ensure we are focusing on their needs
- Wireframe to solidify ideas and gain consensus within our teams
- Test our work to determine if we’re on the right track
Great products come from great collaboration. Both collaboration with customers as well as within our teams. It’s important for your whole organization to get, and stay, in alignment throughout the course of a project. And the best products result when everyone maintains a focus on the end user. The two main goals of this workshop are to reinforce healthy software design principles and give participants some tactics they can take back to their teams to discuss and incorporate into their software development process.
