THE TALK WILL INCLUDE
• An overview of Basecamp's unique product design process, from conception to completion
• Peeling back the curtains on specific features and the stories behind them
• Tips for being productive with intentionally small teams (planning, managing scope, tracking work, etc.)
• A quick glance at how to make a side project that broadens your horizons, without burning out
