The document provides guidance on using Lean Startup methods to design a passion project in 3 hours. It includes techniques like brainstorming independently and discussing as a team, using sticky notes and whiteboards to organize ideas, creating personas, developing a value proposition and feature list, and defining metrics to measure progress. The goal is to quickly generate, test, and validate ideas through prototyping and customer feedback.
Design a passion project in three hours using Lean Start-up methodsKate Rutter
Inside you there is a secret product idea...some problem you are just itching to solve. Yet it falls prey to that deadly statement: “Someday, when I have more time...”
In this action-packed 180 minutes, UX London participants got their ideas out and into the world. Using Lean Startup principles and these fun and rapid methods, they created a coherent, lo-fi product concept and got peer feedback on it. From identifying the problem it solves for people and understanding the role it plays in customers’ lives to identifying a key metric to indicate traction, they explored the idea in full. They wrapped up with practical, actionable (and simple!) next steps to propel the ideas forward.

Oh those pesky UI problems! Sadly, only a few are easily answerable. This talk does that and then frames two important underlying beliefs that impact how developers and designers can get the most of of UX by teasing apart UX and UI (they are *so* not the same thing!) and by broadening the perspective on what makes great products (not just great code.)

Designing For Discovery With Faceted NavigationJim Kalbach
Faceted navigation has become very popular in the last decade. It’s seen as way to improve the findability of information on many sites, particularly those with large collections of products or documents. The design of real-world faceted navigation systems, however, proves to be more intricate than people first assume, and designers must be aware of many details.
This workshop covers principles of faceted classification and shows you how to use facets in web design. Many examples of faceted navigation will be presented and discussed. A clear, structured framework for understanding the individual components is presented to help you understand all the decisions involved. The topics are brought to life through several hands-on exercises.
Features
Using facets. After a brief overview of facets, we’ll discuss how to plan out their implementation.
Interface design. You’ll learn about the layout, display, and interaction with facets in detail. We’ll examine real-world examples, and you’ll apply what you’ve learnt in hands-on exercises.
Advanced topics. You will also be exposed to advanced topics in faceted navigation design, selecting multiple values, grouping, and more.
The Power of Visual Notetaking :: XYC @Singularityu [Tue Jul 9, 2014]Kate Rutter
Visual note-taking is a powerful tool for design professionals who want to capture ideas and communicate them effectively. Known as sketchnoting or graphic recording, this practical technique enables you to capture key points of an idea, recall content and take action on new learnings. Whether used as a personal tool or as a facilitation method for group collaboration, visual notes are a powerful way to create memorable, engaging info summaries.
In this hands-on workshop, participants in the XYC youth summer program developed a visual vocabulary of images of things and concepts, learned simple lettering techniques, and got familiar with structuring information into common layout patterns. Then they brought it all together by capturing visual notes in real time from video, and got feedback and inspiration in a group critique.
If you're new to visual notetaking, this is a fun and fast way to get started. If you're a seasoned sketcher or visual note-taker, you can review this deck to advance your practice.
At the first Sketchnotes-SF meetup, we practiced our sketchnoting skillz and talked through the resulting work. This is the practice-session deck. The evening was informative and fun. Details on the meetup are here: http://www.meetup.com/Sketchnotes-SF/events/131373162/
The deck of my talk at UX London 2013 on designing addicted products.
In a similar way to an addict, we are increasing getting rewards from our consumption of products - we simply have much more than we need. As designers, we can find strategies to cure this addiction or to push for a behavioural change. Still, most of it is in vane.
However, What if things themselves can be designed with a goal, which we may not understand or agree with, but that might bring to a long term positive change? What if we shifted perspective and the products themselves were instead addicted to be used - the primary concern of any product from its own perspective?
This is the story of Brad and a network of Addicted toasters, an experiment that explores the conversation between a product with its own goal and its owner and the implication coming from this product being part of a network of things and people.

How GE Appliances Brought Docker Into the Enterprise -
Talk Description: In a traditional enterprise IT shop, it’s common to find a plethora of aging technologies. From COBOL running on mainframes, to huge Java applications spread across both physical and virtual hardware, the enterprise can sometimes resemble a living museum of IT. For application owners, bureaucracy, lack of business priority, and complex infrastructure can slow innovation, and make it difficult to stay current.
At GE, we leveraged Docker/Mesos to create an internal application platform that brings speed, simplicity, and cutting edge deployment processes to our enterprise, empowering developers to go from concept to production in minutes, rather than months.
Chunky Learning on Slender Timelines [ITX Beyond the Pixels, Portland OR 2019]Kate Rutter
The UX field continues to evolve, and the tools and skills we need to perform our jobs with it. Seasoned professionals are often strapped for time and struggle to incorporate learning new skills into their schedules, while early-career teammates may have knowledge of the latest and greatest but lack overall experience and take time to onboard. Where can we find a sweet spot that allows teams to grow their skills and experiences together?
In this conference talk, Kate shares a model for creating a culture of continuous learning in companies, discusses leading a successful UX adult learning program based on a framework of how people learn, and give concrete examples of learning tools you can apply immediately in your organization.

For a business to thrive, it must find and retain strong UX talent that creates customer-centered products and services. Most professionals don’t have time to continually expand their knowledge of new technologies and tools, but their work relies on this currency. How can we stay up-to-date in a world constantly in flux?
This talk explores techniques to build a culture of continuous learning in the workplace for new and seasoned professionals who want to stay current on emerging tools and avoid stagnation. Learn techniques that UX teams can use to be agile and resilient in the face of ever-evolving technologies.
This deck is from the sketchnote workshop part of the "Let's Sketch Tech" online meetup.

Sketchapalooza [UX Week 2018, August 2018]Kate Rutter
In this workshop at UX Week 2018, participants got hands-on with pen and paper to unleash the power of sketching. From design research to ideation to prioritization to communicating design directions, imagery and hand-created artifacts are effective ways to dramatically improve ideas and increase understanding and stakeholder buy-in.
We surveyed the low-fidelity sketching landscape, exploring practices like graphic recording, sketchnoting, urban sketching, lettering, scenario sketching and sketching screens & UI. And we got hands-on to develop and enhance our visual vocabulary and practiced sketching to think vs. sketching to communicate. (Spoiler: they are not the same thing.)
What topics were covered?
* When and why to sketch
* How sketching amplifies and improves UX work
* A summary of practices and methods, including graphic recording, sketchnoting, observational sketching, symbolic sketching, scenarios, storyboards, interfaces and flows.
* The tools of the trade and when/how to use them
* Sketching basics and tricks to work fast and accurately
* Sketching to think vs. sketching to communicate
* How to match the right level of fidelity for the right level of feedback
* Collaborative sketching and group participation
