Design thinking session

Many companies require Product Managers to have a technical background - whether it be a formal Computer Science degree or experience with writing code. "Over the years I've been self-conscious about my lack of technical background, yet I’ve learned that technical skills aren’t everything when it comes to Product Management." Jori Bell broke down the myth of needing technical skills to be a successful Product Manager. She talked about how you need to understand the types of skills that will make you a successful Product Manager. She also discussed the importance of bringing non-technical value to a team and how to do it, and how you can build trust with a technical team.

At Seedbox Technologies, we use agile development and scrum in all our engineering teams and have the vision of becoming a fully agile company one day. To support this vision, some of our non-engineering teams are starting to adopt and adapt agile principles that will help them deliver more value for our customers, partners, and team members. Here is a kickoff presentation we created to start this transformation with one of our HR teams, responsible for driving our company culture projects. We hope this can inspire other technology (and non-tech) companies to make a similar change in their organizations.

Intelligent robotic systems that can react to unprogrammed tasks and unforeseen environmental changes require augmented softness." Robogami, a low-prole origami robot, addresses intrinsic (material-wise) and extrinsic (mechanism-wise) softness with its multi-degree-of-freedom (DOF) body driven by soft actuators. The unique hardware of the Robogami and its sub-millimeter thick construction enable diverse transformations as those achievable by the paper origami. The presented Robogami in this report shows the first fully integrated version that has all the essential components including its controller within a thin sheet. Construction of this robot is possible via precise, repeatable, and low cost planar fabrication methods often reserved for micro-scale fabrications. The properties of the materials that is being used in the production of these robots are very fascinating and advanced. Smart materials have been used since they can be easily programmed as our need. Programmable matter is a material that produces distinctive shapes or patterns according to a given command. Often they are composed of interconnected modular elements that are able to make or break the connections or alter relative orientation. This rapid prototyping process enables users to create lightweight, affordable, and materially versatile robots with short turnaround time. Origami Robot are the revolutionary robots which are changing the ways we used to learn and perceive things. Using Interactive Robogami, designers can compose new robot designs from a database of print-and-fold parts.

Presentation by Em Campbell-Pretty & Adrienne Wilson at the Global SAFe Summit 2021 Mob Programming thought leader, Woody Zuill, suggests that instead of always focusing on solving problems, we also take the time to notice the things that are going well and amplify them, thereby "turning up the good". When it comes to SAFe Dean Leffingwell perhaps said it best: "There is no magic in SAFe . . . except maybe for PI Planning." I suspect most of you agree that PI Planning is the magic in SAFe. There is nothing quite like the energy created by bringing a group of 100+ people together to build a collaborative plan over a couple of days every 10 to 12 weeks. So what would it mean to "turn up the good in PI Planning"? If we focused on what is good and what we want more of, would we get more magic?! For Em and Adrienne, the answer is a resounding "Yes!" In this session, they will take the "The Facilitator’s Guide to PI Planning" and illustrate how turning up the good can bring your PI Planning magic to the next level.

After writing CSS for over 10 years you'd think you would know everything there is to know, right? I couldn't be more wrong and I found out the hard way. While my first formal code review session was painfully embarrassing it was also the most important lesson I have learned throughout my career. Code reviews force you to communicate on a different level which ultimately leads to more thoughtful coding practices. When writing Sass and other pre-processed languages it is even more important that you review your code continually, which even the more seasoned front end developers may neglect at times. Bottom line: Code reviews will make you better.

What's the one thing that will transform the way you think? Design Thinking. The startups, trailblazers, and business mavericks of our world have embraced this process as a means of zeroing in on true human-centered design. Design Thinking is a methodology for innovators that taps into the two biggest skills needed in today’s modern workplace: critical thinking & problem solving. Of course, if you ask 100 practitioners to define it, you’ll wind up with 101 definitions. Pete Sena of Digital Surgeons believes that Design Thinking is a process for solving complex problems through observation and iteration. At its core, he describes it as a vehicle for solving human wants and needs. Minds are like parachutes; they only function when open. Thomas Dewar was a Scottish whiskey distiller. Communicating ideas or insights is often the hardest part of the design process. And PowerPoint and Excel spreadsheets are limited in their ability to do this. But the communication tools used in Design Thinking—maps, models, sketches, and stories—help to capture and express the information required to form and socialize meaning in a very straightforward, human way. The Five things that all definitions of Design Thinking have in common: 1. Isolating and reframing the problem focused on the user. 2. Empathy. A design practitioner from IDEO, the popular design and innovation firm strapped a video camera to his head and it was only then that he recognized why the ceiling is such an important factor when working with hospital patients. As a patient you lay in bed and stare at it all day. It’s these little details and true empathy that can only be realized by putting oneself in the user’s shoes. 3. Approach things with an open mind and be willing to collaborate. Creativity with purpose is a team sport. 4. Curiosity. We have to harness our inner 5-year-old here and really be inquisitive explorers. Instead of seeing what would be or what should be, consider what COULD be. 5 - Commitment. Brainstorming is easy. It’s easy to want to start a business or solve a problem. Seeing it into market and making it successful is not for the faint of heart. We’ve all read about big “wins” (multi-billion dollar acquisitions like Instagram and WhatsApp). What we don’t read about are people like Tony Fadell and Matt Rogers, who work for years before becoming industry sensations. Pete describes what he refers to as the “Wheel of Innovation” as a process that continuously focuses on framing, making, validating, and improving on your concept. Be it as small as a core feature in your product down to the business model and business idea itself. Design is about form and function, not art. What are the business benefits for Design Innovation? IDEO started an idea revolution when they coined this phrase DESIGN THINKING. Organizations ranging from early-stage startups up to Fortune 50 organizations have capitalized on this iterative appr

I share with anyone competing in a hackathon concrete, hand's on tips, for delivering a winning pitch. Consider what story you want to convey to the judges as you demo the value, and technical achievement, of your hackathon creation. I first presented this to an audience at the HackDFW 2015 event. All pictures you see were taken by me as I advised and supported the teams as a volunteer. Good luck to you! Reach out to me on Twitter @KenTabor.
