UX Culture and Agile product innovation with Design Sprints
We are in the Experience economy today. The key differentiator in business success is the user experience ‘Wow factor’. However, such innovations won’t succeed unless we get the people behind it. The surest route to win their people is to involve them in the process of generating ideas. The danger is that the involvement of many people with different perspectives will create chaos and incoherence.
Organized innovative processes embrace focus and instill confidence. Most humans are driven by a fear of mistakes, so they focus more on preventing errors than on seizing opportunities. They opt for inaction rather than action when a choice risks failure. But there is no innovation without action—so psychological safety is essential. That’s what the application of “Design Sprints” does for us, each step of the Design sprint generates a clear output that the next activity converts to another output until the organization arrives at an implementable innovation.
Design Sprint creates an environment where an innovator lives the customer’s experience. This immersion in customer experience emerges thoughts for deeper insights. Design sprints connect immersion to the emergence in an amazing framework giving rise to an innovative solution build with employee engagement to meet customer expectations.

Physics is everywhere - I'm sure you've heard that. If you're an engineer or simply an unexplainably logical person, this conversation is meant for you!
Physics is one of the most fundamental scientific disciplines, and its main goal is to understand how the universe behaves. Physics is one of the oldest academic disciplines and, through its inclusion of astronomy, perhaps the oldest discipline overall.Given the above, it's amazing how physics has been minimally explored in its impact to organizational behaviour and structure. Being an engineer, I was curious and have been exploring how the laws of physics impact the maturity of agile and the organizational culture. I look forward to sharing this information with you in a fun and engaging way!

keyboard_arrow_downNawaz Butt - Cumulative flow diagrams (CFD) – Do’s and Don’ts
40 Mins
Talk
Intermediate
The CFD is growing in popularity in the agile community and has been called a successor to the Scrum burn-down chart. It’s a very effective tool as it provides a better visualization and typical information for critical decision making. Furthermore, CFD can help you improve your process by providing insights into issues and by identifying potential bottlenecks.
In this session, we’ll look at the different patterns, behaviors and examples of CFD, reviewing what each represents, and how can they be used in both a Kanban and Scrum context.

Do you wonder how Big Tech companies build and deliver Digital products? What framework, if any do companies like Apple, Google, Facebook, Amazon, Netflix, Uber use to build highly scalable products? Do they have the same challenges with Product Owner role, Scrum Master vs Project Manager role, Kanban vs Scrum debate, user story slicing and infamous story point estimates? Or they have figured it all out and that is why they are at an advanced stage of their agility journey? If you are interested to know more about their flavour of agile SDLC, please join me in this learning journey on what we can extract from their core practices.
The Core theme of their framework is built on 3 disciplines
- Software Engineering
- Product Management
- Technical Program Management
We will deep dive on each discipline and highlight some of the principles and differentiating factors so that we can understand and apply them for our businesses.
