You want to build a sexy plugin (or polish an existing one) but you don't have access to a designer. What can you do to stop your plugin turning Atlassian apps into "franken-apps"? Design follows some very fundamental principles and guidelines. Once you know what these principles are you'll be able to dissect an existing interface, understand why it does or does not work, and apply those principles to your own plugin so it fits seamlessly into your Atlassian product.
Wireframing Workshop - TiE Women Create-a-ThonKristine Howard
A talk given at the TiE Sydney Create-a-Thon on July 18, 2015 on what wireframing is, the benefits, what fidelity means, and tools and techniques to get started.
If you’re a creative or technical professional, odds are you need a great portfolio website. What makes a good portfolio? What if you’re a writer, or a developer, and don’t have a lot of visual work to show? We’ll go over how to navigate the intimidating world of personal portfolio websites, using WordPress as our guide.
Brambles are thorny vines that only through careful navigation can you obtain the great fruit they contain. The Agile community has its own brambles such as always estimate vs no estimates, certifications have value vs certifications have no meaning, or Agile can be used everywhere vs Agile won’t work here. Such binary positions aren’t useful and actually can stop work until one side wins. There are more options available than two for any particular work environment. This talk will hopefully inspire you to try some techniques to get out of the bramble and find a path to some useful fruit.

Design has become a game changer in Silicon Valley. This #DesignInTech Report highlights the rising importance of design in the entrepreneurial ecosystem. The report covers trends ranging from the record amounts of funding flowing into design-led startups to M&A activity with major tech corporations. Beyond designers and technologists, this report will appeal to a broad audience. For all of us who use a computer or mobile device, great design is changing how we live and work. This study helps explain why.
The rules of the game have changed
The way goods are produced today is completely different, and so are the goods produced.
With the new trend in technology, consumers can now influence design and control production, and manufacturers are now able to adapt quickly to specific consumer demands.
This shift is particularly exciting for consumers who are able to see the results of their input taken into consideration.
Gone are the days for manufacturers who may be threatened by consumer feedback. Today the technology exists for the development and creation processes to engage consumers earlier to poll for their ideas and opinions. Consumers can become a part of the development process.
The evolution lead manufacturing to face other new challenges such as mass-customization, sustainability and 3D printing . Thus, factories have to be adapted and smarter to improve the consumer experience. Internet of Things, Big Data analytic and remote control are one of the key factors and must be supported by an efficient business process management to connect machines and real time data together. Then, OEMs will be able to answer glocal needs and lower time-to-market, cost while producing high quality products and/or services. Those who embrace this approach are ready to enter the 4th Industrial Revolution.

Today’s most beloved technology products and services balance design and engineering in a way that perfectly blends form and function. Businesses started by designers have created billions of dollars of value, are raising billions in capital, and VC firms increasingly see the importance of design. The third annual Design in Tech Report examines how design trends are revolutionizing the entrepreneurial and corporate ecosystems in tech. This report covers related M&A activity, new patterns in creativity × business, and the rise of computational design.
"It just doesn't feel right". "It needs to pop more". "I just don't like it, I can't explain why." One of the best ways to get a designer to roll their eyes and probably ignore you is to give terrible, non-specific feedback on their designs. You don't have to attend design school to learn how to give good feedback on designs (although, it doesn't hurt). This talk will provide basic principles to follow to give (and receive) great design feedback. Learn do's and don'ts to ensure that your feedback can be understood, respected, and responded to appropriately. We'll discuss different formats for giving feedback and ways to make sure that your feedback is benefiting the people that really matter - your users. Whether you are a designer, developer, or product owner, you'll leave with tools tips to communicate better with your team - and develop better products because of it.
How ANYONE can make insanely better slidesSean Johnson
My wife was showing me slides from a meeting she recently attended. I’m sure the material was great, but I didn’t read to find out. The slides literally made my eyes bleed.
Between my time as a partner at an early stage venture fund and a digital consulting company, I effectively live in Keynote. Creating proposals, reading pitch decks, making presentations.
I am convinced great slide-making is a tremendous skill to develop. It will make your internal presentations more persuasive. It will help you win more business or close that round of funding. It will accelerate your career.
You’ve no doubt seen gorgeous presentations at conferences and other events, but don’t know how to make them.
But you don’t need to know how to make those kinds of presentations for your day job. What you need are some simple tips for polishing up your decks. Making copy more readable. Making tables and charts more useful. Telling the story you’re trying to tell.
This deck is my attempt to help you with that. I hope you find it useful.
Using effective visual aids is important for getting across your message when describing data. This can be in a presentation, poster or paper. This talk goes through some basic design tips that can help your visual aids look professional and work effectively.

Color-blind people are using your apps. 1 in 12 men is color blind. And for women, this is 1 in 200.
Building apps that work well for color blind people is not difficult. Some simple techniques help us with the design of our interface. And some tools help us see what color blind people see.
In this talk, Maarten Arts of Avisi will look at common varieties of color blindness. We will look at apps through the eyes of a color-blind person. And we will discover what color-blind people struggle with.
Regardless of whether you're a designer or developer, this talk will equip you with the skills and the tools you need to make sure that your app works for color-blind people.
Creating Inclusive Experiences: Balancing Personality and Accessibility in UX...Atlassian
The words we choose have the power to include or alienate our users. The reality is that for many, English is spoken as a second language. And unless you're going to localize your product for those major non-English speaking markets, you'll need to thoughtfully create content that is accessible to a larger audience.
But how do we create products that maintain a sense of personality without isolating a wide audience of non-native speakers?
Join Atlassian Content Designer, Roana Bilia, as she walks you through why thoughtful, inclusive content, is key to creating well-designed user experiences. You'll walk away with foundational principles for good UX copy when optimizing your product UI, a few quick wins that you as creators and developers can incorporate into your next products, as well as a set of mistakes to avoid that companies—including Atlassian—have made, which prioritized native speakers but isolated non-native speakers.
Beyond Diversity: A Guide to Building Balanced TeamsAtlassian
We hear it all the time, and we get it. Diversity and inclusion are important! But isn't it an HR problem? HR may be able to help with diversity but inclusion or creating an inclusive environment is everyone's responsibility. So how do we create an inclusive environment that celebrates diversity and engages and supports everyone? Isabel Nyo will be sharing best practices and lessons she has learned along the way. She will also be sharing her experience as a minority, a female technical leader, in the technology industry.
The Road(map) to Las Vegas - The Story of an Emerging Self-Managed TeamAtlassian

Whether you are a new team with a kick-ass product idea or a big company figuring out ways to scale, this talk will provide you with practical tips and ideas your team can try out!
Designing for the enterprise comes with a unique set of challenges; ensuring readability and accessibility at scale, meeting the needs of multi-layered organizations, and building a trust when your software - used by dozens of thousands of employees - is considered mission-critical.
At Atlassian, we've spent countless hours digging deep into our enterprise customer's needs and we've gathered a vast repository of insights.
In this talk, Pawel Wodkowski, a senior designer on Jira Server, will share all that we've learned from our research (while not being shy about busting some of those wild admin myths!). You'll get a crash course in what it means to design for scale the Atlassian way.
Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

Encryption in Microsoft 365 - ExpertsLive Netherlands 2024Albert Hoitingh
In this session I delve into the encryption technology used in Microsoft 365 and Microsoft Purview. Including the concepts of Customer Key and Double Key Encryption.
14. Contrast
• Contrast creates hierarchy, balance,
dynamics and rhythm
• Contrast helps the user break information
into smaller chunks
• Contrast guides the eye
15. Contrast
• If things are meant to be grouped, don’t just
make them similar—make them identical.
• If things aren’t meant to be grouped but
look similar—make them very different.
21. Contrast
• If things are meant to be grouped, don’t just
make them similar—make them identical.
• If things aren’t meant to be grouped but
look similar—make them very different.
22. Contrast
• If things are meant to be grouped, don’t just
make them similar—make them identical.
• If things aren’t meant to be grouped but
look similar—make them very different.
23. Contrast

make them similar—make them identical.
• If things aren’t meant to be grouped but
look similar—make them very different.

27. Repetition
• When the brain is presented with new
and complicated information, it instinctively
searches for patterns.
• The brain can overlook information that
does not fit the pattern it is looking for.
• An interruption in a pattern can cause
confusion, panic and prevent the user
completing a task
29. Achieving Visual
• Colours
• Spacing
• Shapes
• Line thicknesses
• Fonts (and font sizes)
• Icon styles
30. Achieving Visual
• Colours - call to action buttons
• Spacing - break up information in forms
• Shapes - create patterns
• Line thicknesses - choose one
• Fonts (and font sizes) - less is more
• Icon styles - no icon salad
34. Alignment
• Alignment reduces cognitive load caused
by broken visual patterns.
• Alignment creates hard “lines” for the eye
to follow.
• The brain perceives disconnected parts as a
whole object by creating “closure” by visually
completing objects formed by gaps in shapes
- you can take advantage of this.
36. Achieving Alignment
• Connect every element with another
element on the screen with another.
• Draw invisible guides to make sure nothing
is placed arbitrarily.
• Reduce the number of points of alignment
to the bare minimum.
70. Proximity
• Proximity helps users by grouping and
ungrouping related content and helps
create context.
• Allows users to complete smaller tasks
more quickly than deal with a wall o’text.
71. Proximity
• Group items that relate to each other as
closely as is comfortable.
• Create smaller visual units.
• Separate elements that are unrelated to
avoid confusion.
• Don’t force users to hunt for related
elements, like form labels.
76. Proximity
• Group items that relate to each other as
closely as is comfortable.
• Create smaller visual units.
• Separate elements that are unrelated to
avoid confusion.
• Don’t force users to hunt for related
elements, like form labels.
77. Proximity

• Create smaller visual units.
• Separate elements that are unrelated to
avoid confusion.
• Don’t force users to hunt for related
elements, like form labels.
98. Some rules
• Just enough is more
• Please don’t do font or icon salad, no one
will love you more just because you
discovered Google web fonts
• Choose a primary palette of less than 3
colours, and a tertiary palette of less
than 3 colours
