•OnlineHow Inclusive Design Delivers Winning Products for Agile Teams
OnlineToday’s most intuitive and innovative products, including voice assistants, XBox adaptive controllers, and OXO Good Grips kitchen wares were shaped by developers’ empathy and commitment to inclusion. In this session, we’ll explore how design choices that prioritize “accessibility for all” can work with Agile practices to deliver powerful market advantages. Drawing inspiration from the AT&T Empathy Lab and other real-world examples, we will see how agility, empathy, and inclusion often produce customer delight and loyalty that create a competitive edge.
You’ll learn how to embed inclusion into Agile delivery using personas, edge-case scenarios, and hands-on empathy exercises. The session will blend interactive demos, short videos, and mobile accessibility walkthroughs that turn abstract principles into tangible experiences. Whether you’re a designer, developer, executive, or consultant, you’ll leave with practical tactics to build inclusive products that resonate.
