John shares his experience on how to bring and support change in organizations and teams. In particular, we hear the story of a startup, and how bringing people together to a shared goal was the task at hand.  In this episode, we talk about the Google Design Sprint as well as the NoEstimates book. About John Albrecht Agile Person, for the team by the team, used to be a developer. Got into Agile 03/04 via Extreme Programming (XP), then Kanban, then Scrum. Some of his key ideas are Principles over Practices, #noestimates, love working with teams and organizations, the softer side, finding what they and customers need and what works for them.

It's Tuesday morning at the Google Design Sprint. We all have our Crocs, our snacks, and our playlists... For part two of our series on the Google Design Sprint, we had Kirsten Nordine and Stephen Meriwether join us again to share all their experiences about day two, three and four!  We discuss how all the participants were introduced to each other's ideas on Tuesday morning using Post-it Notes and a dot voting process. From there we get into the way the winning idea was chosen and then fleshed out using a storyboarding process.

If you're like us, and just hearing the word ‘sprint' is enough to break you out into a cold sweat, you're not alone. Luckily today, we're not talking about a physical sprint. Instead, we're unpacking the Google Design Sprint, which sounds about as energy-consuming as a running sprint, only more exciting and less painful.

Sara Norbäck på Sportality gästar oss för att prata Design Sprint, en metod framtagen av Jake Knapp på Google 2016. Den används för att gå från ett stort problem till ett validerat koncept, en testad prototyp på bara fem dagar. Den kräver en del förberedelser, att man har rätt personer i teamet och att man litar på processen - för att på bästa sätt kunna jobba kreativt i en grupp men ändå inte klassisk brainstorming tillsammans, utan individuellt. OM AVSNITTET Målgrupp: allmänhet, utvecklare, projektledare, projektmedlemmar, produktägare, UX, användarexperterLär dig: Google Design Sprint, designsprint, innovation, design thinking, workshop Designsprinten kan besvara frågor kring varför, vem och vad, på ett annat sätt än effektpyramiden (tidigare poddavsnitt) och slutresultatet, prototypen, har fördelen att den sparar utvecklingstid och pengar genom att vara användartestad innan utvecklingsteamet skrivit en enda rad kod. I den ursprungliga Design Sprint görs jobbet på fem dagar, i version 2.0 och 3.0 har man kortat ner engagemanget hos svårbokade stakeholders till 2-3 dagar och skapar samt testar prototypen under efterföljande dagar. Vi reder ut i vilka situationer designsprint är perfekt, kopplar den till digitaliseringen och ger tips om hur man lyckas med metoden. Allt ifrån den perfekta gruppen, till små knep som för processen vidare. Och glöm inte att det är kul, det finns massor av energi i designsprint och deltagarna brukar bli väldigt nöjda med dagarna och det goda resultatet!

Come Event Producer Andrea organizza workshop e conferenze relativamente all’ambito digitale focalizzandosi su determinati settori di nicchia, quali Lean Startup, Lego Serious Play e Google Design Sprint e di queste tre metodologie organizza workshop e meetup. È inoltre co-organizzatore del Mashable Social Media Day, ambassador a Lean Startup Summit che si svolgerà a Berlino a febbraio 2019 e collabora con Startupitalia su cui ha un post sugli eventi digitali molto seguito.Lean Startup è una metodologia che permette di validare l’idea, per capire se può funzionare o meno. Viene proposta alle startup in workshop in un percorso durante il weekend attraverso il supporto di mentor dedicati. Il Lego Serious Play è una metodologia senza contenuto basata sui mattoncini della Lego; bisogna avvalersi di un facilitatore e si può applicare ai più diversi ambiti. Il Google Design Sprint unisce metodi agili, lean startup e design thinking che in pochi giorni permettono di portare dall’idea idea allo sviluppo di un prototipo.Gli eventi più interessanti in ambito digital per il 2019 saranno la Milano Digital Week dal 13 al 17 marzo, Digital Innovation Days sempre a Milano ad ottobre ed il Web Summit a Berlino a novembre.La Five Live pescata in diretta chiede la trama del titolo preferito senza citarne il titolo...riesci a capire di che film si tratta?Ascolta l’intervista in podcast!

Global Product Management Talk is pleased to bring you the next episode of... The Everyday Innovator with host Chad McAllister, PhD. The podcast is all about helping people involved in innovation and managing products become more successful, grow their careers, and STANDOUT from their peers. About the Episode: How would you like to get more done this year? That begins by getting more done today and our guest has the four-part framework for making that happen. This is not just another time management approach, but what the creators and authors of the Google Design Sprint found to be the practices to get more done. Our guest is John Zeratsky co-author of Make Time: How to Focus on What Matters Every Day, He previously wrote the New York Times bestseller Sprint: How to Solve Big Problems and Test New Ideas in Just Five Days, which describes the Google Design Spring process invented by Jake Knapp. By the way, Jake is the other co-author of the four-part Make Time framework we are about to discuss in detail.

McLean Donnelly is a design and strategy executive who has worked at top industry names such as Target, Expedia, and Shutterstock. More recently, he is a founding partner at The Makery Group, a new kind of user experience design company that is motivated to create impact with every project. Twenty-five percent of all profits go directly to the Makery apprenticeship for low-income students who learn and work at The Makery, learning valuable design and technology skills in a real world setting. I sat down with McLean at The Makery, in Minneapolis, MN and had a fun and wide ranging discussion. In this session, we go in depth on what the experience economy is, the opportunity HR has related to the gig and experience economy, diversity and inclusion, and specific user experience tools and techniques that HR can use today to create value for your organization. I know you will enjoy this conversation with McLean Donnelly as much as I did! Enjoy!

If you're resource-strapped or if you're not quite sure the Minimum Viable Product is going to be impactful, try the Google Design Sprint process. Over the course of 5 days, you work in a cross-functional team to solve for a core problem together. The best part? You build a high-fidelity prototype and validate the experience with your target audience. Out of one of these Design Sprints, a team at Blue Bottle developed the Welcome Kit experience, which increased their new customer lifetime value by 11x! In this talk, Oriana walks through the experience using the Design Sprint process, how you can facilitate one with your team, and why you might want to consider running a Design Sprint yourself!

In this iPhreaks episode, Erica Sadun and Jaim Zuber talk to Greg Raiz about "products instead of features." [1:25] Greg Raiz Introduction Greg runs RaizLabs which is a consultancy specializing in iPhone and mobile development. Ben Johnson from Raiz Labs has also been on the show. [2:03] Products vs Features A lot of engineering firms get into lifecycle with their products where they're thinking about the next thing. This often gets broken down into sub-features. The focus then gets placed on that feature instead of what the feature is supposed to serve. Greg gives the example of trying to format a book and when you drag a picture to the left, it jumps to the right and vice versa. [4:00] Feature-itis A lot of development teams are driven by sales teams. Sales teams often use feature matrices to differentiate their products instead of thinking about your product in a different way from your competitors. Apple and Steve Jobs were great at this and telling the story that differentiated the product without focusing on features. [5:11] Developing a mission statement or differentiation story They use a scrum methodology to develop the mission statement. Greg explains what a scrum methodology is. Try not to overthink the product. You don't have to plan the whole thing. Instead, you try to deliver value in discreet chunks. You could take a timer and ask "What is the purpose of this timer?" It could be time tracking, timing something, or waking someone up. This helps with team alignment. Greg talks about working at Microsoft on Windows XP and they determined what the core missions were for XP. Every feature that went into Windows XP had to fit into the buckets they defined. [9:00] Is waterfall more holistic and agile more flexible? Both methodologies deliver great software. It's more a matter of how you see and use them. Agile allows you to roll with the punches like new technologies and challenges that come up. You can then reprioritize the features. Delivering each week also means that people can play with something right when it's complete and you can modify it the next week. The terms can be confusing. The main point of software development is to create something that solves a real user problem Google Design Sprint methodology  focuses on gathering data and making decisions over a condensed work of time. [13:55] What types of work do you apply this approach to? Android, iOS, Alexa skills, medical applications, and IoT products all benefit from this way of thinking. [15:00] BlindWays App Perkins School for the Blind The people who can see, Google maps will get you to the corner where you can see the bus stop. Blind people get to the corner, but the buses drive right by them because they're not standing at the right place. Bus drivers are trained to pick up people who are looking for them. GPS isn't precise enough to get the blind people within a 2 foot radius of where they're supposed to be. The app's purpose was the get them to the bus stop where they're touching the bus stop pole. They considered all sorts of features, functionalities, and technologies, but it was all about the mission, not the feature. Cities move slowly, so the infrastructure isn't going to change or it won't change very quickly. Agile allowed them to test several solutions and iterate on what was working. For example, they created several interfaces, added the voiceover accessibility features to it, and handed them off to Perkins students. You can test voiceover with the screen off. You can also test for automation and scriptability. [23:05] How do you turn on Accessibility and Voiceover? Most UI elements have it built in, but if you do it wrong, some buttons will say "Button" instead of what the button does. Apple also has sessions on Accessibility at WWDC. [25:40] How BlindWays works for users Focus on micro-navigation problem. They count on other maps to get you close and then do the micro-navigation to get you closer. They crowdsourced clues which are explanations of what you'll see if you're facing the bus stop to the left and the right of the bus stop. This tells the blind person how to figure out where they are in relation to the bus stop based on what they're detecting with their canes, etc. If you're appoaching a stop, then it tells you if the street is on the left or the right. Then it tells you what you'll encounter before and after other objects to help you navigate. A clue can also be what the stop is attached to like a wooden or metal pole, concrete wall, etc. [30:00] How did you gather the clues data? Raiz labs had several people in the area and people who worked in the Boston office. After a while, people started trying to find stops that didn't have clues. Then the city got involved and started noting cracks in the sidewalk and things like that. [31:51] How did you approach designing screens? The followed the HIG and thought about how you build standard interfaces. They also considered "When I get here, what do I want to hear?" They wanted to make the voice interfaces conversational. What information does the person at this point need to hear? People who use voiceover usually use it at around 5x the speed that Greg uses it at. Voiceover generally doesn't slow people down. [34:48] How do you put your app on a feature diet? Having the mission statement and the story behind it. Understanding the use cases helps keep it simple and limited to the story around the application. "Wouldn't it be great if..." sometimes made it in and sometimes didn't with BlindWays. They use stakeholders and project managers they work with to make sure that everyone has the same vision and to prioritize the right things that bring value. [38:38] How do you sanitize crowd-sourced data? They ruled out several solutions because they were too complex or would have over-scrubbed the data. They instead looked for things that specifically would be to the left or right and could service the majority of bus stops. They also allowed people to say if a clue was helpful or not helpful. Citizens Connect where people could take a picture of graffiti or pothole and report them to the city and then city would report back repairs. In this case, they're trying to reward contributors by closing the loop on clue contributions.

Join us on The startup school podcast for young entrepreneurs Bill Aronson the author of The Lost Art of How to Find Things: Freedom from forgetting, shares his thoughts on the 21st century challenge and exponential change. In this our first startup school podcast for young entrepreneurs Bill shares his insights an education that combines academic and business skills to help you, your family and community. As a tsunami of change is coming. Over the next two decades, artificial intelligence will transform the service sector and professions in the same way that automation did to agriculture and manufacturing in the 20th century. Half of today's jobs will disappear and new industries will spring up. What other schools are doing? Most schools today are preparing students perfectly for a job in 1970, despite the overwhelming evidence that a traditional education is no longer enough. You still need academic qualifications of course, but these become no more than the table stakes for entry into the market. You'll need much more than a good degree to thrive over the duration of your career in an evolving world. The world's first school for teenage entrepreneurs The Cambridge International School, based in Cambridge, England, is the first in the world to inspire, equip and nurture teenage entrepreneurs. While many business schools and universities offer courses in business and entrepreneurship, we are the first school to provide this opportunity to 16-19 year olds. You will study for a minimum of three International A levels while running your own business. To make this possible, we will train you in accelerated learning techniques including the memory training mentioned in this book. Action based learning The program is practical and real. You will work alone and in teams, running real businesses. You will go through the whole business cycle from generating business ideas, pitching for seed capital, to taking the company operational. Are you worried that you might fail? Success is born of failure. We expect you to fail. We want you to fail, because there is no better way to learn. Fail fast, fail often. Philosophy The school is for students who want to do well and do good. You want an education that combines academic and business skills to help you, your family and community. You want to make a difference. Your next step may be university. However, you may find that you want to continue to run your own business, be a social entrepreneur, or use your new-found entrepreneurial skills as a passport to enter the global workforce. It's up to you. Background on the school The Cambridge International School has been running for ten years and is part of the International Schools Partnership with fifteen schools all over the world. This year the school is extending to provide education for students who are 17-18. Summer School Summer school starts July 11th and goes through to August 5th. You can come for a week or two. Each week you will participate in a Google Design Sprint. On Monday you will create an idea. By Friday you will have a practical solution. You will be working with real companies like Dyson on real business issues. The cost is TL 30 a day. What does it cost? A good question. This year only, because the school is just starting out, you can attend the summer schools for STL 30 per day which includes meals and accommodation and collection from Heathrow if you are coming from overseas. Furthermore, we have a number of scholarship programs for students attending. The bottom line. We are looking for students who are funny, perceptive and courageous, people who are prepared to back themselves. If that sounds like you, we will work together to find a way for you to attend. How can I find out more? The school is open from September 2016. However, you do not need to start then. We will be accepting students right up to the end of January to allow for other countries academic year.
