Been on the market for decades? Living from upfront license revenues and services that you sell alongside? Think of developing a SaaS product, but not sure where to start? Think of building a vertical Microsoft Dynamics 365 SaaS app/product? Come and join me, and I will share my experiences with you from building www.just-plan-it.com on Azure and integrate it with Dynamics 365. I will provide real life experiences, share tips and tricks, books to read and tools to use on that journey. My purpose is encouraging you to go the SaaS development route as you as an incumbent have a huge advantage over funding series driven start-ups: you know your market and have you a sustained cash flow to finance growth. In essence, I will cover the following questions:
1) How to identify and validate market demand?
2) What the heck is an MVP (minimum viable product) and how can it help?
3) How can I easily start the inbound lead generation journey?
4) How to organize development to stay at the “pulse of the market”?
5) How to measure and manage initial success?
6) Why is user onboarding so crucial and difficult?
7) How to prepare for scale?

Insight to Design: Developing the Design Brief. Workshop for UCDUK 2014Tim Caynes
Slides from the design brief workshop presented at the UCD UK conference October 2014. Many more words here than normal. It even begins to make sense at some points.
From the UCDUK 2014 site:
Evidence-based creativity is the foundation of experience design, but how is it possible to consistently articulate design outcomes, based on the insights from research? For any given design challenge, how do we describe what behaviours we need change to improve the experience? How do we define and measure the progression from complexity to simplexity? What is the point of a creative brief?
This workshop session will look at approaches to developing a creative brief that helps designers, researchers, planners, stakeholders and clients to understand the tactical execution and strategic vision for change.
Based on the development of the creative brief format at a large experience design agency, we will look at the structure and content of the brief to understand how the brief evolves and how it bridges the gap between insight and design, to provide the clearest articulation of the design requirement.

We know the world changes and, in order to be competitive, so must your software. That’s why we invented continuous validation.
In this presentation we discuss how we came to the conclusion that continuous validation is urgently needed, where and when it should take place and how it works.
We think there is no need to have a discrepancy between building the right things and doing this the right way at the same time.
Finding and hiring talented developers takes more work than just hitting "send" on an email. With recruiting tactics of the past proving time and time again to be ineffective, it’s time to learn how today’s developers want to be recruited.

A Product Manager and a Designer Walk into a BarAtlassian
A PM and a designer walk into a bar... that's a joke on it's own! Trying to plan and collaborate across different teams whilst creating a cohesive culture can sometimes feel like a pipe dream, especially with functions such as design and product management that compliment each other. Backed by extensive research, Atlassian's Sherif Mansour, Product Manager, and Alastair Simpson, Head of Design for Platform, Mobile and Comms, share practical tips on how to take this relationship to the next level. You will walk away with ideas and techniques that can help improve the PM-Design relationship, help build world-class software and of course, a few laughs as they explore some anti-patterns along the way.
Slides from my talk on the things I've learned by comparing the collaborative process as it is carried out in many modern organizations to the creative process of artists and makers.
In software development, Agile’s practices have the advantage of encouraging teamwork by breaking down barriers between various teams in sales, development, business consulting, operations, and IT.
What 'Doodlers' and 'Coders' can teach Business about Experience DesignCandy Bernhardt
If you are a key leader in your business, you might wonder why creatives and developers can be so argumentative about seemingly straightforward feature requests for your site. Likewise, if you are one of the talented people doing the actual design and code work, it can often be frustrating when “suits” don’t understand the fundamentals of good user experience. It’s time for an intervention!
