This document provides a step-by-step guide for building prototypes and minimum viable products (MVPs). It outlines a three phase process: 1) developing the initial idea, 2) building the prototype, and 3) launching the MVP. The guide stresses the importance of starting with a clear vision and testing hypotheses with the smallest possible product. It recommends gathering user feedback through paper prototypes, landing pages, and user testing before fully developing the product. The goal of the MVP is to validate the idea with users before investing significant resources in development.

Shipping Applications to Production in Containers with DockerJérôme Petazzoni
Docker is an Open Source engine to build, run, and manage Linux Containers. Containers use less resources than virtual machines, they boot faster, but they have similar guarantees of portability and repeatability for Linux applications. Those features made Docker and Linux Containers extremely popular for development and testing environments. But what does it take to use Docker and Containers for production workloads?

Innovation is one of the ultimate buzzwords of our era but what is it really? What is its meaning? How can we see it? Replicate it? Scale it? In his talk, I propose that innovation really is the “removal of friction” from a system; and that through this lens we can understand the rise of design, lean startup, Silicon Valley and possibly many other innovative happenings across time.
The talk covers the following topics:
1. The Real Lesson Steve Jobs Taught Us
2. The Rise of Design
3. Innovation = The Removal Of Friction?
4. Co-opting Innovation

Immerse, Imagine, Invent, Articulate: A framework for disruptive innovationPaulJervisHeath
What new product or service could you invent that would completely change your customers’ lives? How could you disrupt your entire sector?
This practical workshop takes you through an innovation process, helping you to identify the clichés that exist in your sector and giving you the tools and time to redefine them. The workshop provides techniques to disrupt those clichés, generate genuine customer insights, turn opportunities into ideas through proven ideation methods, create a coherent concept and then articulate that concept.
The workshop shows you how to realise a new product or service through a lean process of prototyping and iteration and we discuss case studies each step of the way.
Find out why focus groups are not design research. Find out why the average brainstorm gives ideation a bad name and find out how to make your own innovation processes have tangible business outcomes.
This workshop was ran at UX Cambridge in September 2013 and will be running again at the J. Boye conference in Århus, Denmark in November 2013.

User Story Mapping (USM) is a top-down approach of gathering "requirements" in agile environments.
"A user story map arranges user stories into a useful model to help understand the functionality of the system, identify holes and omissions in your backlog, and effectively plan holistic releases that deliver value to users and business with each release (from Jeff Patton's The New User Story Backlog Is a Map)."
Make things people want verses make people want things. Technology and the minutia of bullshit that proclaims to promote it get's uncovered and tortured by Steve Price, along with some examples of great things.
