What would happen if we would bring design, front end, back end etc. all together? How could we improve the user-flows by thinking of alternative, non-happy flows? What would happen to the performance and therefore the user-experience when back end is already involved before the finalised wireframes are handed over?! That's all nice and dandy. But we do need to deal with some concerns like: - Knowledge gap: How can the different disciplines with their specialty understand each other and come to conclusions? - Shared responsibilities: Where do start and where do they end? - Efficiency: What would it do to the efficiency of the team when they get different tasks? In this session we’ll dive in together; - seeing what the pro's and con's are of a multidisciplinaire way of working, - what tips and tricks can be exchanged, - and what kind of tools can help in smoothing out the concerns that arise

Why
“They don’t get us”
“We are already in too many meetings”
“So now I will be responsible of making the design?”
“I tune out when they start talking about their part of the process”
“I don’t get paid to do this work”
“I can’t guarantee the quality of my work when I need to deliver 100 things at the same time”
“We have roles for a reason right?
Does everybody need to own the same skills?”

Key take aways
What do we want you to take away from our presentation today?
Look at your team and team structure from the why.
Talented individuals != a successful team.
Incorporate design into your development cycle.
Responsibility of the end product lies with the team.
Responsibility for speci
fi
c steps in the cycle belong to a discipline.
Trust your team members.
Find a language / tool that both design + development understand.
Give proper attention to the OPS cycle.
