Modeling a business process is often associated with people in suits having long and dull meetings. Way too much time gets wasted for an outcome that's far from reality and which will be obsolete in weeks. Event storming is a workshop format that brings modeling back to all stakeholders, and aims to create usable models.
In this workshop, you won't be writing any code, but you will be using lots of paper, post-its and a marker. After going over a bit of theory and a small example, we will present you with a real business problem, and in a few short playful sessions you will experience how powerful event storming can be in helping a team gain insights into complex problems.
The techniques you will learn in this workshop will pay off immediately.

Maintaining Continuous Learning Under Pressure Slides from Lean Agile Scotlan...Simon Phillips
Lean Product Development is predicated on validating assumptions that we make about the product we want to build in lightweight ways; user research, contextual studies, paper prototypes, simple clickable prototypes. A few short weeks of these activities can massively reduce the risk of building the wrong thing, and in a world where developing the wrong software can cost millions or sink a company, the investment can be well-worth the time.
So how do you structure a project so that Product and Design have an opportunity to answer necessary questions, while making sure you're not wasting developer resources or boring the crud out of your team?
This joint presentation by Pivotal Labs Product Manager Rosemary King, and UX Designer Simon Phillips will explore why up front investment in Discovery and Framing set up a project on solid foundation, how to involve development teams in the exploration and synthesis process, and how to set a cadence for your UX design work so that a comfortable buffer exists to allow for continual evolution of the product based on user feedback and changing understanding. Baked into the presentation will be case studies, challenges and lessons learned on recent lean/agile projects.
How collaboration and conflict lead to better designIIBA UK Chapter
Paul Cooper introduces himself as the User Experience Lead for Vitality. Their job is to enhance and protect their customer's lives. He discusses how effective collaboration and healthy conflict can lead to better design outcomes. Some key persuasion techniques are social proof, emotion, and trust. UX is about cutting corners by observing how users interact with products to improve their experience. He provides five tips for collaborating with UX designers, including involving them early and allowing time for user research.
The document provides tips for how to be the most amazing product manager ever. It recommends solving problems rather than building features, and asking three questions about everything that is built: what problem is being solved, who it is being solved for, and how success will be measured. It also advises asking "why" five times to fully understand the root of any problem. Roadmapping should define why it is being done, who the audience is, and what defines a successful roadmap. The most common criticism product managers receive is "why wasn't I consulted," so they should avoid letting their team ask this.
Throughout her media studies project, the student learned to use various technologies including Wordpress, Google, Prezi, Survey Monkey, Writer Duet, and YouTube. She found some technologies like Wordpress and Prezi easy to learn while others like Survey Monkey and Writer Duet took more time to understand. By using these technologies, she was able to complete tasks like setting up a blog, conducting research, presenting findings, creating a survey, writing a screenplay, and learning how to use the technologies. The student feels she has gained valuable technical skills and knowledge that she will apply to future projects.
The document discusses translating a passion and vision into a business idea. It describes how the founder of Eye-Fi was passionate about photography and helping people easily share photos. He and some co-founders discussed issues with sharing photos from cameras and initially tried different ideas before settling on the Eye-Fi card that makes cameras wireless. It then provides a quick timeline of Eye-Fi's founding, fundraising, product launches and partnerships over the years. The document also offers advice on brainstorming, evaluating and focusing on ideas.

Fast Prototyping Customer Development Mock Ups 2014Serdar Temiz
The document discusses various techniques for developing business ideas and prototypes, including:
- Creating mockups and paper prototypes to test concepts with customers before building fully functional software.
- Building minimum viable products (MVPs) and landing pages to validate assumptions and pivot or change aspects of the business idea based on customer feedback.
- Using prototypes to explain ideas more effectively than specifications and to get early feedback before large investments are made.
The document emphasizes the importance of testing ideas with customers, pivoting based on learning, and adopting processes like customer development and agile development.

Some key aspects covered include framing problems broadly and reframing them using different perspectives. The document also discusses divergent and convergent thinking, noting the importance of deferring judgment during ideation. Various ideation techniques are presented, such as warm-up exercises, individual versus group work, and a four-step sketching process to move from divergent to convergent thinking.

Prototyping approach and platforms nov. 2020Filippo Scorza
This document discusses prototyping as an approach to innovation. It emphasizes that prototyping allows testing ideas with real users before investing too many resources. The design thinking process is outlined, with prototyping occurring after defining the problem, ideating solutions, and before testing. Various prototyping platforms, tools, and techniques are listed, including paper mockups, sketching, InVision, storyboarding, role playing, and hardware. The overall message is that building quick, inexpensive prototypes early allows for learning and improving ideas through an iterative process.
No business can thrive without the discovery of a great idea. But, then again, an idea needs to undergo proper development to transform into a successful business venture – else your unpolished idea dies a quick death. In this article, we will talk about how one can turn an idea into a business.

How to Handle Explosive Startup Growth (and only slightly lose your sanity) -
I've been with Pinterest since the early work-out-of-an-apartment days and am now CTO at Reddit. There's been a feeeew cultural and technological challenges we've had to conquer in the process of building companies from a few employees to 600+ and from a few thousand users to tens of millions. In this talk, I share several important inflection points as a company scales starting from day -100, and talk about the cultural and technological pieces you should have in place. For instance, at what point do you bring in technologies like logging, map reduce, etc? How about SOA? How do you fix trust issues in the team? How do you balance making some engineers managers versus others? Come with questions! If this is your first rodeo, I hope to make it a lot easier.
