This document provides a quick start guide to Lean UX. It outlines organizing hypotheses, aligning ideas with brand goals through wireframes, rapidly building rough prototypes, and using metrics to determine if ideas should be developed further or discarded to allow for failing fast. The goal is to get ideas in front of users quickly to learn what works best and focus efforts accordingly.

Don't be Left Out: Tips for Working in a Remote TeamAtlassian
Working with a team on the other side of the world can be a lonely, frustrating experience. But with the right attitude, practices, and tools, it still can be an effective way to build software with others. Hear from Atlassian developer, Adam Hynes on how he moved to the other side of the world and stayed productive (and sane) without changing teams.
Learn how he uses tools such as Floobits for real-time remote pairing, Confluence for white-boarding hard problems with distant teammates, and HipChat for asynchronous stand-ups to keep the team on the same page across timezones.

Winning at Project Management with the Team PlaybookAtlassian
Managing a project is about more than just tracking the work. Your project teams have diverse skill sets, report to different managers, and may even have different visions of what to deliver. How's a project manager supposed to wrangle their team and deliver the goods without losing their mind?
That's where the Team Playbook comes in. From making sure you're building the right thing, to building team harmony, there are loads of project management plays. Join Sarah Goff-Dupont, Atlassian Principal Writer and Alastair Simpson, Head of Atlassian Design, Platform, Mobile & Comms, as they dive into what exactly these plays are and how they've helped various Atlassian teams master their project management. Whether you're a career project manager, or a project just "landed on your plate", you'll walk away with a game plan for keeping morale and quality high, and bottlenecks to a minimum.
What prevents you from getting your work done? In this presentation we go through key blockers that slow down your workflow. We also have tangible examples for everyone to work through

We have learned how to build software: Extreme Programming gave us the developer tools and Scrum the project management tools. But we are still investing a lot of money in our ideas and most of them fail. 9 out of 10 startups are unsuccessful. Why is that? One reason is that we still make assumptions about our users' needs. Repeat after me: "I am not my user!"
This talk will discuss about minimum viable products, validated learning and continuous deployment: how to write the minimum amount of code that can teach us something about the user and only then developing the full feature (instead of waiting to have the perfect feature that maybe nobody wants).

Large organisations will need CTOs to survive the digital revolution.
These CTOs will be former web developers, who know how to get things done on large architectures. Symfony developers will therefore be excellent candidates.
But with great power comes great responsibilities. Here are five important tips to keep in mind:
- stay lean
- be rational
- act as business leaders
- foster teamwork
- know that you know nothing
Good luck in your future responsibilities!
10 bezcennych lekcji dla software developera stającego się szefem firmyWojciech Seliga
[Originally Polish lecture with English slides - with a few exceptions]
Przez wiele lat byłem software developerem. Koncentrowałem się na kodzie, projektach software'owych oraz interakcjach w moim zespole i z klientami. Byłem pewny, że Agile rozwiązuje wszystkie problemy tego świata. Śmiałem się z komiksów Scotta Adamsa i stworzonej przez niego karykatury szefa (PHB). Życie było proste i piękne...
Teraz od ponad 8 lat prowadzę firmę software'ową, którą przy blisko 90 osobach trudno już nazwać maleństwem. Sam stałem się "szefem" na pełen etat.
Podczas prezentacji podzielę się z Wami różnymi doświadczeniami oraz naukami (nieraz bolesnymi) jakie wyniosłem w ostatnich latach podczas mojej stopniowej przemiany z developera/inżyniera w przedsiębiorcę i szefa firmy. O ile zapewne nie wszystkie sytuacje i wnioski mają lub mogą mieć (o ile marzysz o własnym startupie czy zespole) zastosowanie w Twoim życiu, same sobie ich uświadomienie może oszczędzić Ci w przyszłości straty mnóstwa czasu, energii i pieniędzy oraz uniknąć przykrych rozczarowań.
The incumbent’s playbook for launching a vertical SaaS product (Directions EM...Martin Karlowitsch
Presentation held at Directions EMEA 2017 in Madrid.
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?

Ten lessons I painfully learnt while moving from software developer to entrep...Wojciech Seliga
My presentation from InfoShare 2016 conference.
For many years I was a software developer. I would concentrate on the code, software projects and the interactions with my closes team and the users. I was sure that Agile solves all world’s problems. I would laugh over Scott Adam’s Dilbert comics with his Point Hair Boss. Life was simple, life was good. Now for 8+ years I have been running a software company, not a small one anymore. I became myself a full-time boss who only codes sometimes at home or during hackathons.
This session is about sharing with you those critical lessons which I painfully learnt when trying to grow into this new role - transitioning from being a software engineer into being an entrepreneur and top manager. Wheres not all of the lessons may or will (if you dream about your own startup) apply to your case, being aware of them may save you tons of time, energy, money or even help you to avoid the total disaster - burying your own company or dreams. And after all, sharing war stories from the past is fun … when these stories are the past.
From Incremental & Iterative to Agile – What's the Right Process For Your Tea...Atlassian
Every software team has heard the phrase “going agile" and many consider themselves agile, but what does it mean to be truly agile? Implementing agile in a team takes commitment and is anything but “nimble and quick”. In fact, sometimes you need to become good at Incremental and Iterative Development (IID) before you can be Agile. In this talk, you will learn whether IID or Agile is right for your team, how to deploy and maintain a selected process, and how to make JIRA work for your development process.

Use cases for Drupal are changing and so are criteria for selecting a web development platform. This is a challenge for the community as well as individuals and companies that use Drupal. We can learn a lot by looking at the Drupal experience from different perspectives and thinking about the personas of people who interact with Drupal.
I’ll talk about what we can learn from design thinking and user experience techniques, and what I’ve learnt from talking to new Drupal users and teaching Drupal. And I’ll share my thoughts about how we can adapt our approach and mindset to make Drupal relevant to our clients, colleagues, and communities.

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.

Organise - now although i just told you to get stuck in you have to know what your getting stuck into. This is the part where you write out your hypothesis. It does not have to be pretty it just has to be understood as a collection of ideas. This is going to be where you (and anyone you invite, ideally your team) will put your ideas into the 1 place. Some of them\n
Not pretty is it. This is where Lean UX really shines, Doesn't have to be. It just has to work.\n\n(simplicity is key - only 4 columns (what it is you want to change, expected impact, whos doing it, actual impact)\n1st fill out 2 columns 'what it is' and 'expected outcome'.\neg: what it is you want to change: add a sample demo project for new users into the IDE -expected outcome = lowers the 30% of users who never come back.\n

After its written you spend a bit of time with 'the man' - or woman in charge (in our case thats the CEO or product manager) they decide what goals are important for the company... retention, revenue, customers... this naturally floats those relevant ideas to the top and this becomes your new work list. Easy so far, right?\n
Staff them put their name against an item at the top of the list and NOW you get stuck in - you own a task and you have to show whether the outcome is what you expect or not.  \n
Speed is important in these tasks, because that list you saw is mammoth. So as much as possible and indeed as much as you can stand it - for get high fidelity wireframes and prototypes. \nLow fidelity protoypes that are fast and work well - and remember these are for you you dont have to show them to anyone.\n
Whiteboard\n - this is actually my whiteboard at the moment, no-one but me and my lead ux (who's brilliant face is in this audience understands it...  and thats ok)\n
Paper\n - Ahhh the humble paper. Easy, fast, portable... the ipad of the victorian times. Also your best friend. Another hour with a pencil helps fully set out your vision. Remeber at these stages your looking for pitfalls and logic breakdowns... fastestway to do that is paper prototyping.\n
Balsamiq (I find this the quickest but omnigraffle and invision app work just as well)\n- If you do have to show something or detail work to a developer  then this is the way to go.\n
Invisionapp\nIf it is a big change and you need buy in for above - then protoype it using invision app. It is also worth it in some instances to see just how the interactions work but always check how long this takes you.\n
Build what you can yourself as fast as you can. It depends largely on what you build to how you build it. The best advice at this stage if you can't do it yourself... make friends with your developer. Go to his/her desk with a coffee and talk. Ask about how it is going and see where on the priority list your tasks are. \nThis seems more like people management but trust me it works. In a Lean environment even the devs will pick the tasks they think will make the biggest impact so as a uxer its also your job to get their buy in to help. (this works both ways too)\n
This is always the fun stage for me. Because it means metrics and mesurement. This is where Lean usually falls down because metrics can be hard to implement and analyse but trust me when done right it is worth it.\n
For web changes we use google analytics and their goal measurements.\n
For behavioural changes we use clicktale and the mouse recordings\n
For in app changes we have to use our own engine. But I also believe clicktale can be used inside applications too, I have yet to get buy-in from a dev to implement this for me...\n\nSo at this point i want you to look at what you change succeeded in doing?  Based on your measurements and check against your hypothesis to see if it worked. If it shows more than a 10% change you should develop it further, if it is less than this you may want to leave the implementation as it is. If it had an adverse effect rip it out.\n
Never be afraid to let go. A good motto for life and UX in general.\nIf it didnt show good enough results let it go. Do not be tempted to continue to work on it. Your attention needs to move onto the next task at hand.\n\nOur own projects can feel like our children in some ways but 80% of the results are seen in the first 20% of the work. You are not gaining big returns by continuing to tweak an average design.\n
