During my years as a developer and entrepreneur I have seen a lot of clients and other stakeholders struggle with getting from idea to working software.
This talk sheds a light on it from a developer' side of view, mainly for not so technical people. Expect real world use cases and some funny jokes.
Today, we are expected to be both fast and flexible. We need to react to changes at a moment’s notice and always be ready to pivot our course of action.
Understanding how we need to change, and why, comes from creative activities like user research. But working fast can make it hard to find the time for this kind of creative work.
That’s where design sprints come in. These concentrated bursts of team collaboration mean getting together for days or a week to focus on a specific design challenge. Design sprints are intense, but are usually very productive.
But what happens if your team is remote?
In this free webinar, designer Laïla von Alvensleben from the design agency Hanno shares her insights on conducting design sprints with a remote team. Her advice is based on years of research and practical experience with clients like Über and Lenovo.
We know remote design can be daunting, so we’ve brought Laïla to the spotlight to ease our fears and show us how to have speed, quality design and a distributed team.

Plan a project in half a day... not months! An Introduction to Impact MappingAssurity Consulting
The large-scale adoption of Agile development frameworks has forced a rethinking of traditional Enterprise Analysis practices.
In today’s world of digital disruption, innovation and speed to market are paramount. No longer can companies afford to take 6-12 months analysing and designing their product or next set of features. Yet, despite the rapid advancement in development practices enabling software to be developed faster and better than ever before, those responsible for leading projects are still often using traditional practices to determine project and product objectives. Lengthy periods of time spent doing upfront analysis are eroding organisations’ abilities to get a jump on their competitors.
Impact Mapping is a simple, but powerful visualisation technique that engages senior business and technical experts at the start of projects to create a shared understanding of scope – not from a technical perspective, but from a business one.
As simple as Impact Mapping is as a technique, effective use of Impact Mapping requires the analyst to apply their artistic and scientific talents as one cannot draw a map sequentially. Impact Mapping requires divergent and convergent thinking, and an appreciation of how project deliverables influence changes in human behaviour which in turn affect the likelihood of achieving business goals.

Wie geht das aus? Und was hilft dabei, nicht über Bord zu springen? Was lernt man als (Agile) Coach? Ein Selbstversuch.
