Function of design in new business development

Yet another take on using user-centered design methods in not only software but product and business development in general. The examples are mostly the same as in my previous talks, but the angle is different, and combines Customer Development / Business-Model Generation / Lean Startup as done by Marko Taipale with User-Centered Design.

This talk was in Estonia at Agile Saturday X.

Design up front is back!

I gave a fifteen minute talk about using design methods to boost software product development at Tampere Goes Agile 2013. This is probably the best talk I have ever given, I really like the fifteen-minute format. Here are the slides. The core message of the talk is:

Working software is an expensive way of getting user feedback when compared with role-play or design prototypes.

I gave a talk about improving IT systems with participatory and user-centered design at the Wildcard 2013 conference in Latvia the other day. Here are the slides and video.

OO Day 2009 presentation: Scrum Is Not Enough

Here are the slides for a presentation I gave with Marko today at OO Day 2009 in Tampere, Finland. We had around 400 people in the audience - more than there were attendees in Scan-Agile 2009!



Since the presentation was in Finnish so are the slides. I might write more on the subject later on.

It was nice to have so many participants from TestausOSY visiting our dinner! Too bad not many stayed for the beers (read: actual conversation) afterwards.
