This document discusses combining different processes for developing digital products, known as "process bricolage." It advocates embracing diverse methods from processes like Agile, waterfall, and user-centered design. The document summarizes key aspects of different processes and roles, and proposes a sample bricolaged process incorporating elements like lean research, user stories, design studios, models, experience criteria, and lean validation in implementation. It acknowledges arguments against bricolage but asserts that creating digital products requires an interdisciplinary approach and that the development process should also combine methods where sensible.
8. Creating digital products
is an interdisciplinary
undertaking. Equally, the
process we use should
also embrace diverse
methods where they
make sense.
9. Goals, in order of usefulness…
• Discussion for process wonks.
• Survey of techniques.
• A sample process for building
digital products (no patents
pending!)
10. Disclaimer
• This isn’t sexy.
• This is anecdotal.

• I speak really quickly.
13. Wikipedia says:
“A manifesto usually accepts a
previously published opinion or
public consensus and/or
promotes a new idea with
prescriptive notions for carrying
out changes the author believes
should be made.”
19. The Agile Manifesto (Abbreviated)
• Individuals and interactions over
processes and tools
• Working software over
comprehensive documentation
• Customer collaboration over
contract negotiation
• Responding to change over
following a plan
35. Wikipedia says:
“…bricolage is the construction
or creation of a work from a
diverse range of things that
happen to be available, or a
work created by such a process.”
