Don't focus on technology and features. Heck, don't focus on the "product." Focus on the experience you want to create, and build a system that gets you there.
The audio is from my talk at http://2007.dconstruct.org/.
Two stories of self-designing feature teams and learnings from that experience. The autonomy of teams to form and re-form themselves to build teams, that manage themselves to deliver value to customers frequently can be a real boost of motivation and performance.
Would you like to be able to increase the adoption rate of your product? In this session, we will introduce you to cutting edge concepts and techniques to shift your product development process from output to outcome driven. We will combine elements of Lean Startup, Product Discovery, and Experiment Driven Development to accelerate learning to quickly build products customer love.

For our teams tasked with building products and features for The New York Times, we face a common challenge with many: how do we figure out what’s worth spending our time on?
The answer seems straightforward: test your ideas with real customers, leveraging the expertise of your product, UX, and engineering talent. Figure out the smallest test that you can come up with to test a specific hypothesis, gather data and insights, and keep iterating on it until you know whether the problem is real and your solution will prove valuable, usable, and feasible.
As part of our efforts to adopt such a data-driven, experimental approach to product development, we recently kicked off a product discovery pilot program. Small, cross-functional teams were paired with coaches and facilitators over a six week period to demonstrate how product discovery and Lean Startup techniques could work for real-world customer opportunities at The New York Times.
One of the first things that we learned about the process from our participants was that they wanted a "toolkit" - something to help them figure out what they should be doing, asking or making to get as quickly as possible towards the validated learning, prototypes and user tests that would have the most impact.
To help the facilitate the learning process for our dual-track Agile teams, the Product Architecture team here at The Times (Christine Yom, Jim Lamiell, Josh Turk, Priya Ollapally, and Al Ming) built a "Product Discovery Activity Guide" that rolled up activities, exercises, and testing techniques from all our favorite thought leaders.
This included brainstorming exercises from Gamestorming and Innovation Games, testing techniques from traditional user research, and rapid test-and-learn tactics from Google Ventures, Eric Ries (The Lean Startup), Jeff Gothelf (Lean UX), Steve Blank (Customer Development) and our spirit guide, Marty Cagan (Inspired), among others.
Our goal was to make it a tool not just for learning how to get started, but to be a living document for teams to share knowledge about the process itself. What techniques worked and didn't work? What tactics did they learn elsewhere that might be worth sharing with the rest of the company?
We hope you find it useful, and whether you’d like to share with us what you’re doing with it, or you have suggestions (big or small) to improve it for future product generations, please let us know! (nyt.tech.productarchitecture@nytimes.com)

the art of creativity: asking provocative questionsJoyce Hostyn
Since we live in the world our questions create, "the most interesting thing you can do in life... is to call into question the rules of the game.” Questions make the impossible possible, help the unknown become known, and transform paradigms. To transform yourself, transform your organization, or transform the world learn the art of asking provocative questions.
Myself and Luis Medeiros moderated a discussion on Clubhouse around the topic of Problem Framing and Reframing, with useful tips on how to write better problem statements, how to ensure you’re solving the right problems, and raise the awareness of decision biases.
Topic: UI/UX DESIGN IN AGILE PROCESS
Why do we integrate design into our Agile process?
As we all know, the Agile Manifesto is well-received and successfully adopted as it is today thanks to the 12 underpinning principles. While “good design” is one main reason that “enhances agility”, “Agile processes promote sustainable development”.
At Axon Active, it’s important for us to do everything Agile and work with one another collaboratively in Collaboration Model. It gets people on the same page, makes everyone engage more with the product, encourages them to share more creative ideas, and gives them the flexibility they need to improve themselves.
Indeed, Designers and Developers can collaborate more closely and effectively, and subsequently integrating design into Agile process will yield numerous benefits.
For that reason, Scrum Breakfast Da Nang this October will be the very chance for you to learn:
• How to successfully integrate design into Agile process in practice
• How different Collaboration Model is from traditional model
• The benefits of Collaboration Model when done correctly

Lean Startup + Story Mapping = Awesome Products FasterBrad Swanson
To deliver the right outcomes, you need to learn your customers needs and validate your assumptions as early as possible. This means getting an early version of your product completed to start testing, validating and improving. This session will demonstrate how to combine Lean Startup and User Story Mapping techniques to determine where to start and how to learn early and often.
Participants will start with a partially completed Lean Canvas to flesh out and then define a product roadmap by building a Story Map. We will use Lean Startup concepts of Minimal Viable Product (MVP) and validated learning to focus on outcome over output.
Learning objectives:
Understand the importance of accelerated learning and techniques to achieve it
How a Lean Canvas can help shape your product vision and MVP
How to build a story map to create a product roadmap
How to use a story map to validate your users' journey
Introduction for Design thinking :

User Story Mapping Workshop (Design Skills 2016)Bartosz Mozyrko
User Story Mapping (USM) is a top-down approach of gathering "requirements" in agile environments.
"A user story map arranges user stories into a useful model to help understand the functionality of the system, identify holes and omissions in your backlog, and effectively plan holistic releases that deliver value to users and business with each release (from Jeff Patton's The New User Story Backlog Is a Map)."
Behind every great product is a great team doing work in a way that guarantees results. They are following a roadmap from the starting point to the end product. But a product roadmap can be elusive. This talk addresses why it is important and presents an approach to make one.
This is a slide deck from one of Marc Stickdorn's courses on service design. It is structured in three parts, the first one is about customer experience in general and how important it is. The second part explains service design in a nutshell, and thirdly you can apply your newly acquired knowledge and create a persona.

A Lean Design Process for Creating Awesome UXAnnie Wang
Lean UX is a proven approach for lean startup environment. My lean UX process is based on a commonly 6 step cycle ux process. In my practice with a few startups, I found it worked better for me to split the first step “concept” into 2 steps: discovery and wireframe. Thus my process is 7 steps – discovery, Wireframe, prototype, validate internally, test externally, summarize, iterate.
How to Be a UX Team of One was presented by Leah Buley at the 2008 IA Summit in Miami, Florida.

The experience is the product (for Mind The Product 2016)Peter Merholz
The field of user experience emerged to compensate for poor product management. When we recognize that "the experience is the product," it becomes clear that these two fields are closely aligned.
Nick will explore the best practices of user experience by reviewing some of the most popular and highly trafficked websites today such as eBay, Amazon, Toyota, Flickr, Twitter, Netflix and more. Nick will identify and explain both good an bad experiences on these sites on the merits of visual design, information architecture, interaction, and ease of use. If there is time we will open the floor for audience submissions and to provide quick feedback and areas of improvement.

Presentation at Adaptive Path's UX Week 2012, wherein I attempt to articulate a professional definition for "UX Design" that is substantially different from the workflows-and-wireframes with which it is typically associated.
Wireframes beyond the basics, not for the weak at heart. In this panel, three experienced designers will share their tried and true tips for making wireframes really work. We'll talk about how to sketch a wireframe on the fly to demonstrate an idea and how to create a standalone wireframe deliverable; when to show a concept and when to describe nitty-gritty detail; how to make a narrative wireframe and how to make a specification wireframe. And best of all, we'll show you plenty of examples.
Nathalie Nahai - Naughty or nice? The psychology behind successful productsNathalie Nahai
In this talk, I explore the psychological principles behind the successful conversion, adoption and monetisation of products.
From decision-making, fluency and cognitive load, to dopamine loops and habit-creation, you'll come away with concrete examples and actionable tips you can use to start optimising your products immediately.
12 Qualities of Effective Design OrganizationsPeter Merholz
It's not enough for a team to have great designers. Great design requires a well-run team, taking care of it's organizational, managerial, and operational needs. In this presentation, I outline 12 qualities of effective design organizations, and provide tools for assessing how well your organization is performing.
In today's hyper-competitive media landscape, the top companies are not those with the fastest technology or the biggest content library but those who consistently offer memorable and engaging experiences for their users. In this workshop, attendees will learn the key concepts and methods of User Experience (UX) and how a combination of design thinking and experience-centered strategy can help brands create and sustain meaningful relationships with their customers.
As organizations continue to establish and mature their in-house design teams, it turns out there’s very little common wisdom on what makes for a successful design organization. Books and presentations tend to focus on process, methods, tools, and outcomes, leaving a gap of knowledge when it comes to organizational and operational matters.
In this talk, Kristin Skinner discusses how to coordinate efforts and structure teams within large organizations. She covers:
- Realizing the Potential of Design
- Organizational Models / The Centralized Partnership
- The 5 Stages of Design Organizations
- The 12 Qualities of Effective Design Organizations
She also stresses the impact that design can have on business and highlights the importance of design managers in coordinating in-house efforts, advocating for quality, and enabling culture.

DESIGN LEADERSHIP TRUISMS and COACH, DIPLOMAT, CHAMPION, ARCHITECTPeter Merholz
For the DesignX 2019 Design Leadership Summit, I did something a little strange: two talks in one. The first talk was a series of Jenny Holzer-inspired truisms about design leadership. The second talk was my latest version of Coach, Diplomat, Champion, Architect: The 4 Archetypes of the Complete Design Leader.
Org Design is (Largely) Information ArchitecturePeter Merholz
Given at the IA Conference in 2019, this talk connects the practices of org design with the practices, skills, and values from information architecture.
"Design at scale" is perhaps the most interesting challenge facing the design industry right now. How do you maintain quality and not get bogged down as your team grows? Much of the discussion focuses on systems and processes, but that can play into a mechanistic orientation that ends up limiting design's impact. In this talk, I stress how "Design at Scale" is humanism at scale, and share what's needed to keep people at the center of this work.
Coach, Diplomat, Champion, Architect: The Complete Design LeaderPeter Merholz
Design leaders need to play a lot of roles in order to succeed. This talk shares the four archetypes of the Design Leader: Coach (managing down), Diplomat (managing across), Champion (managing up), and Architect (shaping orgs as they scale.
Org Design for Design Orgs - The WorkshopPeter Merholz
As the move to establish in-house design teams accelerates, it turns out there’s very little common wisdom on what makes for a successful design organization. Books and presentations focus on process, methods, tools, and outcomes, leaving a gap of knowledge when it comes to organizational and operational matters. This workshop seeks to address this lacuna by shining a light on the unsung activities of actually running a design team, and what works and what doesn’t.
Topics include:
- How a service design mindset shifts standard organizational approaches
- Organizational models for design teams, from centralized to decentralized and back again
- Breadth and depth of skills and strategic thinking
- The 5 Stages of Organisational Evolution
- A New Taxonomy of Design Team Roles
Making Business Human: Delivering Great Experiences in a Connected AgePeter Merholz
Slides from my talk at IA Summit 2012. Won't make much sense of you were there.
In it, I discuss how business must engage in humanist practices and values in this messy and complex Connected Age.
As a film director, I have always been awestruck by the magic of animation. Animation, a medium once considered solely for the amusement of children, has undergone a significant transformation over the years. Its evolution from a rudimentary form of entertainment to a sophisticated form of storytelling has stirred my creativity and expanded my vision, offering limitless possibilities in the realm of cinematic storytelling.

5. A NEW PHOTOGRAPHIC APPARATUS.
This apparatus consists of a box containing a camera, A, and a
frame, C, containing the desired number of plates, each held in a
small frame of black Bristol board. The camera contains a mirror,
M, which pivots upon an axis and is maneuvered by the extreme
bottom, B. This mirror stops at an angle of 45°, and sends the
image coming from the objective to the horizontal plate, D, at the
upper part of the camera. The image thus reflected is righted
A new photographic apparatus
upon this plate.
As the objective is of short focus, every object situated beyond a
distance of three yards from the apparatus is in focus. In
exceptional cases, where the operator might be nearer the object
to be photographed, the focusing would be done by means of the
rack of the objective. The latter can also slide up and down, so
that the apparatus need not be inclined when buildings or high
trees are being photographed. The door, E, performs the role of a
shade. When the apparatus has been fixed upon its tripod and
properly directed, all the operator has to do is to close the door, P,
and raise the mirror, M, by turning the button, B, and then
expose the plate. The sensitized plates are introduced into the
apparatus through the door, I, and are always brought
automatically to the focus of the objective through the pressure
of the springs, R. The shutter of the frame, B, opens through a
hook, H, with in the pocket, N. After exposure, each plate is lifted
by means of the extractor, K, into the pocket, whence it is taken
by hand and introduced through a slit, S, behind the springs, R,
and the other plates that the frame contains. All these operations
are performed in the interior of the pocket, N, through the
impermeable, triple fabric of which no light can enter.
An automatic marker shows the number of plates exposed. When
the operations are finished, the objective is put back in the
interior of the camera, the doors, P and E, are closed, and the
pocket is rolled up. The apparatus is thus hermetically closed,
and, containing all the accessories, forms one of the most
practical of systems for the itinerant photographer.
