Presentation Description
Doing design workshops with stakeholders allows them to have insight into the process of how the sausage is made and provides the product team buy-in from the get-go. This session talks about: choosing the right exercises, how to play to the team skill sets and adjusting them to fit the needs of the project. You'll learn how to sell it the idea of the design workshop to stakeholders and collaborate with them on a solution that can be tested and validated with real users.
