AgileUX, Lean Start Up, Design Thinking and how it all aligns - dave landisDave Landis
The following slides are a brief excerpt from my talk on Lean UX in a CrossFunctional World. The focus was to help engineers understand how Design Thinking, Agile and Lean Start Up all beautifully align to create products/services that customers love.
Using User Research and Co-Creation for Disruptive InnovationDesignit
César Astudillo - Managing Partner at Designit Madrid, gave a lecture to the European Customer Experience Group at Telefónica, about how human-centered techniques such as user research and co-creation can be repurposed to generate radical innovation.
Agile UX is a process that unifies developers (running Agile) and designers (practising UX) through collaboration-centred methodology. Projects are broken down into short cycles known as iterations, consisting of smaller tasks such as design, coding and user testing, that are repeated over the entirety of the project.
If you are working within a creative agency, as a UX designer, a software developer or a project manager managing teams, this presentation features 5 brilliant quotes from current practitioners at the 2015 Agile UX conference held in Australia, which will help you implement Agile UX successfully.

Have you been the engineer blocked on shipping a feature because you were waiting on Design to "figure it out"? Or wondered why you’re building a particular feature, or have your own ideas for the product vision? Have you been the designer who spent days designing an interaction only to find out it couldn't be built, or the PM trying to bridge the divide? It's time to take down those silo walls! Josh Franklin, Alex Basson, and Jim Thomson – a designer, an engineer, and a PM, respectively, will give a "Balanced Talk" on their successes and failures building the Small Token iOS app, and share the tactics they used to stay aligned as an Agile team and continuously learn from each other. Extended Description On traditional product teams, engineering, business, and design often sit in their own, walled-off silos.The “business” (usually a product owner) generally defines large swaths of requirements, chucks them over a wall to designers, who chuck designs back to the business, who package it up and chuck it over to the developers and ask how long it’ll take to deliver. They request features and designs with no regard to implementation, and engineers don’t have any input or view into the “what” or “why” of product and design decisions. There’s a better way! At Pivotal, we form “Balanced Teams,” made up of developers, a product manager, and a designer. For many reasons, a Balanced Team leads to better products and happier team members. In this talk, a balanced team of Engineer, Designer, and PM use real-world examples from our work on Small Token, a charitable giving iOS app, to illustrate specific advantages of working as a balanced team. We show how our practice here at Pivotal contrasts to a “traditional” product development cycle - and why it works. We expect the audience to learn techniques they can take home to their own product teams. They will be better empowered to evangelize for, and fully take advantage of, Agile principles. Specifically, engineers in the audience will learn that they can have an important voice in the direction of a product.

Designing and developing products for multiple platformsDesignit
As part of our on-going collaboration with the Power BI product teams at Microsoft, our design director and partner Guy Haviv and our CTO Yoram Berkowicz gave a talk to a wide audience of user experience designers and developers at Microsoft ILDC on designing and developing cross-platform mobile experiences and best practices around development & design processes and collaboration.
Over the next years, how we design, prototype, and test services and products will change dramatically. We are transitioning from a traditional, industrial mindset of design as a rigid planning process towards the experience of design as a continuous and evolving conversation between makers and users. This talk, based on real-life experiences, explores how design is changing in the digital age, beyond the initial delivery of specifications and blueprints, to an adaptive co-creation process that evolves iteratively over time. The emergent idea of designOps is dissolving the boundaries between planning, discovery, building and operating phases, leading to results that are more in tune with the true needs of users.

UX STRAT Europe 2017 presentation by Andrea Picchi, Lead Experience Designer, Sony Mobile: “Embedding Design Thinking At Sony To Accomplish Business Strategy”
With the adoption of methods based on rapid experiments to validate hypotheses with customers, there is also a need for design to adapt and respond continually. As such, there is a need to balance the decisions taken in autonomy by teams and the overarching service coherency. Inspired by devOps principles, designOps is a practice that aims to support people across the organization to continuously redesign their products without compromising design excellence. This talk, based on the experience of coaching design teams at different levels, explores the possibilities of moving out from heavyweight upfront analyses, reducing handoffs, and creating reliable feedback loops with end users. A new paradigm, where the ability of design is shifting from being a specific practice to genuinely becoming part of everyone’s job. A key component to enables others, designers and non-designers, to create meaningful experiences in a complex environment.

My keynote from the UX South Africa 2014 conference in Cape Town, South Africa
It's a look at the state of play including:
- It's still easy to find poor website UX in South Africa
- Informing digital strategy by making and launching things
- Problems that executives of traditionally non-digital companies face as software slowly eats the word - and some solutions: Proactive research, digital product management, agile...
- Some of the skills and talents that unicorn UX designers need to have
Prototyping is not a new concept, but the role it plays in the design process has changed dramatically in the last few years. Proliferation of agile methods and the grassroots nature of design thinking have opened up new opportunities where research and design happen simultaneously. New tools for building digital prototypes have given design teams numerous options from very simple demos to complex proof of concepts.
The Devbridge Design team shares their experience and explore cases where prototyping has driven the design and research process. With varying levels of complexity and fidelity, each has had a different outcome.

Is collaboration the future of business IT? - Patrick Bolger, HornbillSITS - The ITSM Show
To improve IT agility and value, we must change the way we work. Getting closer to customers is hard enough when you’re in the same building, but is tougher still when working across different borders and cultures. Collaboration technologies could provide the answer, but before you consider adoption, this session will help you ask the right questions.
In April 2012, Brain Mathews asserted in his white paper that libraries need to “Think Like a Startup." But how do startups think? If we are going to emulate startup culture, then we have some learning to do. This interactive session will tackle the build-measure-learn cycle, validated learning, iterative design, continuous improvement, and other components of lean thinking. We'll underscore the importance of hands-on development, prototyping, and hypothesis testing. Come join the conversation and help make entrepreneurial thinking a habitual part of our practice and profession. Presented by M.J. D'Elia & Helen Kula.
Satyam Kantamneni, former Managing Director of UX at Citrix, explains how to grow and nurture your UX team to meet business objectives. Based on 15 years experience across Citrix, Paypal, and other companies.
You'll learn:
- When to hire generalists vs. specialists.
- How to drive business outcomes from day 1.
- How to evaluate design culture as you build it.
- How to build a long-term governance framework.
It is time to move Design Thinking to the next level. Companies and design thinkers need not only embrace creativity but also include other design focus areas in the entire process, such as design planning and execution. The workshop will give an overview on the current and next stage of Design thinking, and it will also take a glance on how to go beyond it.
Ever asked why great engineers prefer working for certain companies? Or why certain companies are more admired than others? In this lecture I will share few ingredients of the strong engineering culture and why technologists prefer working for one company than for another.

Speaker: Carole Osterweil
Data is power. AI changes everything.
If the claims about both are true, how can we ensure we use data and AI well? And what does it mean for the very things which make us human - our feelings?
In this workshop Carole will draw on material from her ground-breaking book, Neuroscience for Project Success: why people behave as they do to answer both questions.
“We like to think our decision making is completely rational. However, once there's an element of uncertainty, conscious assessments are only part of the story. Two other inputs, both subconscious and driven by our innate need to survive, have a big impact.
One, automatic reactions driven by cognitive biases, gets plenty of airtime.
The other input, our raw visceral emotions might be scary to talk about and less understood - but that’s not a reason to pretend they don’t exist!”
This interactive workshop will draw on material from Carole’s book, Neuroscience for Project Success: why people behave as they do, published by APM in 2022.
You’ll come away with:
a clear understanding of how the human brain works.
a framework that:
explains ‘why people behave as they do’.
makes it easier to talk about feelings in a matter-of-fact way (so that they become part of your conscious data set)
new insights into yourself and your projects in a world that’s often characterised by stress and disorder.
Act on these insights and you’ll see the impact - on your teams and stakeholders, your decisions about how to use data and AI, and ultimately your project outcomes.
AI in the project profession: examples of current use and roadmaps to adoption webinar

Content description:
Disruptive technology and accelerating change is the now the norm within business. Advancements that feel relatively recent are already becoming embedded into business-as-usual activity. AI is one such advancement; it is already being used and having real-world impacts across the project profession.
To help P3M professionals understand the implications of this change, APM invited representatives from organisations that have introduced or are preparing to introduce AI into their project workstreams, to explain their approach and share their insight with fellow professionals.
This webinar on explored how AI is currently being used in project and programme management, and how organisations are gearing up for its adoption.
Katharine works for WRAP which is a climate action NGO working in more than 40 countries around the globe to tackle the causes of the climate crisis and give the planet a sustainable future. In this session, you will learn about WRAP’s plastics programme and how sustainability has been incorporated as a core value in delivery of the programme, with the aim of inspiring the audience to take action in their own work.
Kai-Fu Lee predicted that AI would change the world more than anything in the history of humanity – even electricity. It would disrupt how we live and work, how we operate our businesses, the core products and services on offer and the way in which we build technology.
However, in 2024 the impact of AI can no longer be discussed in future tense. With Microsoft copilot now publicly available, the change is already upon us. There is no consultation period or ‘unsubscribe’ button.
Project management professionals are likely to be asked to manage AI projects - and we are expected to skilfully use AI in our daily work lives. While overwhelming, this is not the first time we’ve had to adapt.
Sarah helps her audience sharpen their cutting-edge skills by answering:
What do I need to know about AI right now?
If I’m asked to work on an AI project, what techniques do I need to be successful?
Where do I start my own learning journey to upskill and prepare?

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

We conducted six small group
qualitative interviews with 24
young people aged 11-17 from
across NI.
Groups included a representative cross-section of locations
(Belfast, L’Derry, Omagh, Newry), socioeconomic class, religion,
gender, ethnicity and learning abilities.
Interviews were 60 minutes long, with four participants per group
to ensure an informal discussion where the young people felt safe
to open up and express their opinions.
The sessions included visual stimulus from the existing StopCOVID
NI app, as well as best practice examples from other categories, to
get to a deeper level of insight on the ideal user experience and
design elements for this age range.
