This workshop was conducted on Feb 4, 2015 in Warsaw at the MCE2015 conference by @uxamanda and @kitobandito.
Please reach out on Twitter if you would like a copy of the Project Playbook template itself or any of the other materials we used in the workshop.
----
Most projects begin with a sense of excitement, urgency, big ideas, and assumptions. Without a clear and shared understanding of the ‘big picture’, things can quickly get off the rails as your product and team suffer. Through years of delivering hundreds of projects, we’ve adapted and evolved a lightweight framework that helps prevent the most common project issues. This framework, the Project Playbook, is created through a series of small workshops conducted by the team during a kickoff, but can be used anytime to ensure everyone is running in the same direction. Whether you are a Designer, Engineer, Product Manager, or an entrepreneur starting on a new idea, we will teach you how to facilitate this process through a hands-on workshop that you can take back to your team and use right away. This workshop will be theoretical.
