Do you have limited resources but an urge to build great products with less waste? Are you still following the old waterfall approach to product development by separating design and development processes? Do you find difficult to integrate UX design and Scrum but unsure about the right recipe to execute in Scrum? Say hello to ”UX BURNER’’. A holistic framework that gives product teams a systematic way to unify UX design and Scrum by fostering creativity, collaboration, shared understanding.
Check out the DIY guide of the framework here: https://medium.com/ux-burner/tagged/product-design
UX burner helps to focus the energy in a right direction with a continuous cycle of experiments that include problem analysis; ideating on concepts; learning and iterating and the best part is you don’t have to separate design from development. Stop your waterfall-ish product development by doing lengthy upfront design work followed by the development work. Stay agile and kick out the mess in your product development process with UX BURNER.
We hate wasting time to teach just theories. So in this workshop, all the participants will have a hands-on experience of the process and also get a strong understanding of activities included in it. Participants will be able to apply them right away in their projects. We will also distribute a free copy of our playbook and present some success stories of our UX BURNER experiences from B2B and B2C domains.
UX BURNER is not only for designers but it is also perfect for product owners, developers, tech leads, IT architects, startup founders, process gurus, executives at large companies, team leads and product development managers, or anyone who thinks their company could stand to do things a different way.
In today’s marketplace, product innovation can come from anywhere to create impact and change the lives of people. Well-Designed user experience is often the key differentiator for a product to compete. Agile software development process has been widely preferred over the waterfall software development process in many industries. Among different agile methods, Scrum is popular among companies to build products with improved teamwork, better communication, and faster results. When companies build products using Scrum as their Agile development process, they are often faced with challenges to harmonize the practice of their UX design and development teams to function like a dream team.
Many product teams often waste time and resources to find out the best product design practices to fit their agile software development process. As a result, product teams often face the following challenges;
In the end, the core principles like shared understanding, collaboration, creativity that were promised by many innovative frameworks is nowhere being found among the product development teams. Wouldn’t be great if we had just one, holistic product design & development framework that is both User-Centred and Agile? Say hello to UX BURNER, It is an integrated approach that unifies UX design and agile development. It combines the best of agile, lean thinking and product design into a single process. It helps product development teams to have a shared perspective of the problem; have ownership; work collaboratively; test product hypothesis, and release minimum desirable experiences in short cycles. Whether you need to build a new product from scratch, improve a product, integrate UX design in your Scrum or give your team a creative culture, UX BURNER has you covered.
