Often product managers are caught in the middle of a continual tug of war between design and development trade offs with competing priorities and artificial time lines. Finding the right balance can be tricky but the benefits are huge. This presentation will help you avoid some of the most common mistakes in software development by highlighting proven strategies you can use to drive product enhancements, lower development costs and accelerate your time to market. You will learn tips and tricks for leveraging user experience design together with Agile development best practices to break projects into small steps, create realistic time frames, meet deadlines, and deliver new features and releases every few weeks while incorporating constant feedback and improvements. These techniques are based on real world experiences and are applicable at any stage in the development cycle. 388 Join Pathfinder's Director of User Experience Design, Matt Nolker at 12:00 EST, for a webinar on incorporating user experience design together with Agile development to create better software, faster 2008-01-16 true http://community.featureplan.com/community/2008/01/webinar_january_16_1200pm_est.php http://events.boxesandarrows.com/events/388 agile, development, user experience design Miami USA 2008-03-02 Following a massively successful recent London event, the Future of Web Apps is hitting the East Coast of the US for the very first time.

These days, everyone’s having to do more with less. We get that. That’s why Web Design World Seattle is all about teaching you what you need today. Like CSS and markup that’s easy to maintain and broadly accessible. Web typography that carries your message and is beautiful to look at. JavaScript that works. Mobile design that expands your reach. Social networking instead of social not-working. Photoshop, Dreamweaver, and Flash power tips. And the design aesthetics and user experience concepts that make for happier visitors, happier bosses, and — our accountant made us say this — a maximized return on investment. 686 WA Since 1997, Web Design World has helped thousands of Web designers learn what they need to know to make better web sites. We return to Seattle, July 20-22 for more no-fluff instruction. 2009-07-20 false http://webdesignworld.com http://events.boxesandarrows.com/events/686 http://events.boxesandarrows.com/event/logo/686/wdwlogo_red.gif css, design, development, user experience New York USA 2011-01-19 But do these deliverables solve business problems? Jeff Gothelf, User Experience Director at TheLadders.com, says no. While each artifact provides documentation and a tangible work product to stakeholders, too much focus on their perfection has caused us to be measured and compensated by the quality of our documentation instead of by the success of the experiences we design. Enter Lean UX. Inspired by the Agile methodology, Lean UX is the practice of bringing the true nature of our work to light, faster. In this talk, Jeff will explain the iterative strategy and team communication model that characterizes Lean UX, where documentation is not discounted but instead transformed into a practical and usable tool. Jeff will also explain how to introduce Lean UX to your team, whether you’re in a large corporation or an interactive agency. ABOUT JEFF Jeff Gothelf is a user experience designer based in metro NYC. He has spent his career designing engaging experiences for clients big and small.
