Process & Methodology: Scrumban & Pattern Library
Details
Hi SB UXers!
My heartfelt thank you to all of your all-star support to make the 10th SB UX a big success! Patrick did such a great job at detailing rapid prototyping on different platforms: interesting analogies, fancy demos, and flavors of humor made the learning experience a lot entertaining.
And just to toot our own horn for a second, Santa Barbara UX meetup was featured on Meetup.com’s homepage! Only a handful of the most active Meetup Groups are chosen to appear on this page every day and thank you all for your support to make it happen!

SB UX meetup is held every other month but September is a bonus month as we got great speakers/content (one about process & the other about methodology) line-ups and they are:
Amber Brown , UX Researcher, Citrix Online
Zach Forrest , Senior Web Developer, Citrix Online.
One thousand readers may have one thousand Hamlets, and different teams may have totally different ways of practicing scrum: Kanban, being one of them, a scrummy methodology but without a timebox.
Amber Brown will give us a talk on how their UXR team adopted Kanban as their day-to-day practice. It did not happen overnight. Scrum was first adopted to help manage the overload of projects. A year later, Kanban came in to accommodate the team’s and stakeholders’ needs. Amber will detail us on the several aspects of Scrum that they did not want to let go; the course of the Kanban adoption; and the current process they like to call “ScrumbanUX”.
Zach Forrest, to extend Patrick’s talk on Rapid Prototyping, will give us an overview of building Citrix Online’s design pattern library and how UX researchers and developers benefit from the library.
Designers, product managers, art directors: you don’t want to miss this talk if you want to bring consistency and efficiency to your work place.
See you soon, and oh, before I forget, we'll serve food, courtesy of Citrix Online!
