The days of heavy specifications and documentation are numbered. The new currency of web and software development is shared understanding within nimble, small, dedicated teams. In this workshop, Neo NYC founding partner, Jeff Gothelf, will teach you the collaborative, cross-functional ideals behind Lean Startup and Lean User Experience and demonstrate the power of highly cooperative teams.

You’ll take away practical skills to encourage:

  • Greater team collaboration
  • Design thinking
  • Rapid design tactics
  • Shorter feedback loops
  • Increased product validity

all while increasing team productivity, efficiency and camaraderie. In addition, this workshop will show you how these techniques solve the Agile/UX integration challenge.

The focus in this course is Lean User Experience, Design Frameworks and Design Thinking. Methods used are d team oriented. The student should after the course have a framework to work from and a toolbox of methods to apply for best effect. And also a sense of how to facilitate workshops, argument for design solutions and how to collaborately work in iterative processes to find, test and evaluate solutions along the way.

By design thinking we mean that a design process needs to focus on the goal of the project, and that you need to involve all diciplines as early as possible in cross functional teams. These could be Product Owner, Business Analysis, Web Analysis, User Experience, Graphis Design, Developers and so fort – all depending on what your product is aiming at. It also includes rapit feedback loops and iterative work within the team.

Hundreds of of product designers and developers across North America, Asia and Europe from organizations such as Paypal, eBay, Livingsocial, JP Morgan Chase, BSkyB and many others have benefited from this workshop.

What recent workshop participants say
