Mind Melds and BattleBots: Creating the Right Kind of Designer/Developer Dynamic

•

39 gostaram•5,029 visualizações

Improving the designer/developer relationship is an ardent wish on a lot of project teams. And yet, a lot of excuses seem to be made for bad relationships between designers and developers… several of which are tied to when and how each are involved. Do these sound familiar? “There’s not enough budget to involve all members of the team from beginning to end.” “We don’t want to limit designer creativity too soon by bringing tech into the process.” “We don’t want to waste developer time at the beginning when there’s nothing fully defined yet.” “If we design a detailed enough style guide, development should be able to implement without retaining a designer through implementation.” How do you find the right balance of involvement without breaking the budget - and make the most of the skills that each team member can bring to the table? In this presentation, Carolyn Chandler (Experience Designer and instructor) and Don Bora (Developer and iconic tech mentor) will take you on a journey through the main stages of a project from both sides of the divide.

BattleBot mode wastes a lot of
energy for fight strategy

Mind melds aren’t always good
goatee of evil

We have communication
issues
Designers often hear:
“Then you can make it pretty”
“It’s just common sense, right?”
“Isn’t that a training issue?”

We have communication
issues
Developers often hear…
“It’s easy…”
“Can’t we just…?”
“I’ve seen this done a million times.”

What’s Possible?
Over/Under Communication

Last Developer Standing
Things can go wrong and when they do, it’s
usually in the 11th hour

Too much info
Dire messages
Blame the user
A good way to handle unknown errors:

We are all craftspeople
working on shifting sands

The main waste is the time
you DON’T spend in mind setting
MEETINGS

What’s our level of detail?
FORESTS
TREES
WEEDS

What is the intention?
Designers can ask:
What data do we have that we’re not taking good advantage of?
EXPLORING
Developers can ask:
What patterns (like navigational frameworks) do we want to start
following early on?

EXPLORING PROPOSING
Both ask:
Does this reflect our business goals and identity?
If not this exact thing… what can we do?
Is there something that gets us close?
What if…?
What is the intention?

EXPLORING PROPOSING DECIDING
Both ask:
What principles should drive our decisionmaking?
Do we all understand the pros and cons of the choice?
(for example, build or buy)
What is the intention?

Rubber Ducking

Presented by Anthony Armendariz and Danielle Moser from Funsize at the Digital Project Management Summit 2014 - Austin, Texas. Twitter: #dpm2014, #iwantmymvp The Minimum Viable Product (or MVP) is the first shippable version of a product containing purely core features, distributed as a test release in order to create useful feedback for the most basic features. Planning for a MVP release requires the Product Owner to know how to organize and prioritize a dense backlog of features, but in an agile environment with a diverse team and uniquely talented vendors we posit they need not do it alone. Different lenses for knowing what MVP means to your internal and external team so you can know if you are building the right thing. What must the MVP consist of to be meaningful to the target user? What’s the best way to phase out the release of everything else? What can be cut completely? Basic agile/lean design project management techniques. Important conflict resolution and emotional management techniques. How to sell it with a "Flexible Scope Retainer".

if you're an innovator, "Would you use this" is a question you really want to answer. But you can't ask it in a usability test. Usability tests can evaluate comprehension and ease of use, but test respondents can't reliably predict their own future behaviour. If you base your strategic choices on experiments where you ask them to do that, you can cause serious damage to your company. But using the JTBD change making forces, and the MAO model, you can start to explore the factors that influence people's actions systematically . You can find out *when* and *why* people will use your new product idea, which is enough to work out whether your product is on the right track.

Marcus Gosling, Highway1.io , @marceire In mass-production, you only have one chance to get the product right. The in-flexibility and expense of the physical product supply-chain prohibits an experimental, iterative approach. Inspired by lean startup, hardware entrepreneurs are developing new tools and methodologies for exploring and validating their product ideas prior to mass manufacture. 3D printing and off-the-shelf development kits are being used to support rapid product iteration and low-volume early adopter sales. Existing commercial products are being hacked by entrepreneurs to prototype and explore completely new experiences. Prototypes are becoming instrumented to collect data on engagement and usage patterns in the field. Illustrated with case studies from the Highway1.io hardware startup accelerator this talk will share a range of emergent patterns and best practices in lean hardware development.

http://www.ianlivingstone.ca/2015/11/17/enabling-autonomy/ The drastic increase in the importance of knowledge workers has turned traditional management structures and philosophy upside down. Previously, all of the information and authority was centralized in management and workers simply operated according to some proscribed procedure with limited ability to make their own decisions. However, the rise of the knowledge worker such as developers, designers, and product managers has thrown these structures out the window as they've proven unable to deliver incredible products and technology. The new name of the game is enabling teams to operate autonomously and build towards a vision that is seeded by the leadership but authored by the team. How do we enable teams to operate autonomously while ensuring that they are held accountable? How does this change as organizations grow? Why does this matter and what are the results?

Keynote presented at SDD (12th May 2015) Somewhere in the heart of a development process, essential to the very being of a product's existence, are the people who write, consider and wrestle with code. What motivates and demotivates them? What are the intellectual challenges and rewards? What are the skills they have and need and cognitive biases and environment they work with and against? This talk by the editor of 97 Things Every Programmer Should Know considers the act of programming and those who do it and want to get better at it, from the perspective of development process to craft, from architecture to code.

In the hustle and bustle of our jobs as educators, we often forget our why, the reason we got into education, of trying to make a difference with kids.

We asked LinkedIn members worldwide about their levels of interest in the latest wave of technology: whether they’re using wearables, and whether they intend to buy self-driving cars and VR headsets as they become available. We asked them too about their attitudes to technology and to the growing role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the devices that they use. The answers were fascinating – and in many cases, surprising. This SlideShare explores the full results of this study, including detailed market-by-market breakdowns of intention levels for each technology – and how attitudes change with age, location and seniority level. If you’re marketing a tech brand – or planning to use VR and wearables to reach a professional audience – then these are insights you won’t want to miss.

Semelhante a Mind Melds and BattleBots: Creating the Right Kind of Designer/Developer Dynamic

“They have no idea how to work with a real design team.” We’ve all heard or said something like that about people on our product teams, especially developers. While that’s a natural response to a breakdown in communication or a road bump during implementation, over time it can create an “Us vs. Them” mentality that does more harm than good. So how do we avoid scratching the itch. How do we keep avoiding giving in to the cynicism? As a design leader, how do you balance your team’s frustrations and continue to motivate them to deliver quality user experiences?

Ux design summit guarding against an us vs them mentality

John Murray

Getting stakeholders to act on research insights and design recommendations can be challenging; however, some common UX research and design habits can get in the way of effecting change on the products we work on. This talk will discuss common traps that researchers and designers fall into in their efforts to build better experiences as a part of large and complex organizations, and explore different approaches we can take to avoid these traps. Some of the traps discussed include ineffective research reporting, over-prescriptive mockups, team siloing, and cargo cult design.

As we are asked to do more with less, project pressures can lead to compromises, shortcuts and other streamlining techniques. These shortcuts influence the quality and completeness of data management deliverables, yet most project managers have only a high-level understanding of what we do and what we require to do it. How will you respond when your project manager asks you how long it will take, how much will it cost, and how your efforts should be reflected in the project plan? This highly interactive (and sometimes irreverent) discussion will include:

A tutorial session on UXD hacks I gave at O'Reilly Etech in 2004. Original context here: http://conferences.oreillynet.com/cs/et2004/view/e_sess/4767 "User-Centered Design and participatory product development are established, proven techniques for making interfaces and information understandable. But how is it possible to use them when your knowledge, the technology, and the possible markets are moving so quickly? Is it possible to create alpha-tech that defines a new market and is a joy to use? UI Design for Alien Cowboys is a three-hour tutorial and workshop that proposes that it is."

All software, whether it's for consumers or workers, needs to meet the ever growing demands people have in today’s world. Greater user expectations and influence are forcing companies to create and deliver better products, but not every organization has a rich heritage in software creation like tech giants Apple and Google. Most companies need to be more customer-focused, become design specialists, and transform their cultures as they shift to become both software makers and innovators. Myers, head of design services at Cooper, will share the elements of product success that companies need to possess and be market leaders: user insight, design, and organization. Myers will share principles and techniques that successful innovative companies use to truly understand their customers. He’ll also discuss the methods effective designers use to support their customers and create breakthrough ideas and delightful experiences. And he’ll finish by sharing the magic formula organizations need to deliver ground-breaking experiences to market. This talk was given at UX Day.

A talk we had at Texity systems. Topics were “ Are you really a User Experience Designer ? The shift from product design to process design” Contents - what is user experience ? A bit of historical perspective - Who coined the term and what did he mean ? ( Don Norman coined this term) - how does IA, interaction design, usability, user research, relate to user experience ? - what is product user experience ? - how is different from user experience design of a service ? - if this is User Experience, then what exactly is customer experience ? - Should there be a designation called User Experience designer? - The CEO, the engineer, the sales manager , product manager ….. are they UX designers or they aren’t ? - Product design vs Process design - The notion of a User , and who is the Customer ….. can user and customer be same ? - A better term : DUX ( designing for user experience )

Many agencies have become frustrated with over-specced sequential waterfall projects. Their inflexible methodologies have too often led to outcomes that didn’t realize their full potential. In contrast, agile methods like Scrum and Kanban have proven successful ways to build and run software. But how do you apply agile methods to the reality of an agency’s project based work? There are many challenges and the most crucial question is: what if our ideal work method and our clients’ realities don’t match? Edenspiekermann have been working agile since 2009. They’ve since achieved terrific results and have never looked back. They now employ about as many developers as designers, creating meaningful digital products and services for global clients like Red Bull, Cisco Systems, The Economist and the German and Dutch Railways. Christian will talk about the often challenging contrast between wanting to deliver the best possible product and making sure you’re satisfying the client’s internal project needs. How to deliver excellent customer satisfaction while working as agile as possible? . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Christian is the guy designers are ambivalent about. He’s not a font guy. He’s the business guy—the one who works the odd hours creating and maintaining relationships with some of the largest companies in the world. Over the past decade, he has led business development efforts for numerous agencies on three continents.
