Design at scale: from atomic research to evolving design systems in complex international platforms
2019 Workshop
Topic(s):
Description
What is it like to be a designer of a single product in a multi-site multi-timezone context? How can you consistently maintain its quality while having multiple cross-disciplinary teams interacting on different aspects of the product? Our method is to shift towards more transparent and collaborative intelligence through Atomic Research. Break down and analyse relevant insights in order to build a common knowledge and business intelligence, fuelling your product backlogs and growth relay.
This workshop aims to help designers working in an agile framework industrialise the end-to-end process of turning user tests results and analytics into an indexable and searchable shared database, as well as convey the necessary developments via user stories, and implement them in a DesignOps mindset.
During the course of this workshop, participants will experience through exercises:
1. how to segment raw qualitative and quantitative data into atoms of knowledge, to be analysed, tagged and sorted into an already established and shared database.
2. how to use the newly gathered knowledge to deliver rapidly, using a common design system.
Systematising the use of these collaborative processes and tools breaks information silos between the independent teams and expertise (designers, growth hackers, data scientists, product owners…), and increases coordination between designers collaborating from different locations and time zones. It enables enhanced productivity by shortening delivery time.
