Going Live: Getting Agile with Everything That's Not Code
45 Mins
Talk
Intermediate
To win work, consultants are asked to price their work competitively. To win repeating work, consultants must do a good job. In this session, we'll explore some of the approaches Amanda has taken as a Product Owner to create great, meaningful and lean deliverables.
Together, we'll examine how traditional UX and Change Management artefacts can be tweaked to deliver more value in less time. Some examples of these tweaks include: varying the level of fidelity, varying the direction, substituting appropriate alternatives and identifying and focusing on priorities. By using the basic lean principle of prioritizing the end product, instead of the content that is produced to create and support it, you'll learn how to make the most out of the budgets that surround the activities unrelated to writing or testing code for a product or site.
While this advice may cause your standard process to be sacrificed, the quality of the resulting product and the alignment with its user's needs will not. Resulting in more bang for your (or your client's) buck.
