DesignOps

Adam invited two other experts from DesignOps Assembly to discuss strategies that drive successful design operations teams and make design processes more efficient.

Amber Jabeen will walk you through a collaborative journey of building and scaling a design system for a brand that lives in 8 different markets across MENA.

Watch the opening keynote at Design Value Conference 2022. Yuga Koda, UXPin's CEO at that time shared a little bit of UXPin's background and announced the newest tool, Merge Component Manager. Watch the keynote to see how it can streamline the way you design with UI components.

There are many factors within an organization that influence how Design Operations functions. From team size, to Design leadership partnership, to maturity of the team, and everything in between. Having helped build a function from the ground up and seen it grow and fluctuate over the last four years, I’ll walk you through my learnings from working on the ground to zooming out and becoming increasingly strategic.

It's said 80% of value comes from 20% of the effort. As a DesignOps practitioner, how can you maximize your value and efficiency? In this talk, Salome Mortazavi will give an overview of how she leverages the Design Maturity Index to hyper focus DesignOps efforts to scale the Design team’s impact on business.

Scaling design is not about throwing more designers at the problem. Scaling design effectively is about operationalizing design, aligning closer with the principles of DevOps. How do we enable product teams to successfully deliver useful and usable products to their customers? This is an evolution that they call DesignOps2.0. Nearly everything a product team deals with impacts UX. Traditional development issues like availability and latency have a significant impact the user’s experience.

Sometimes, design programs get stuck in the rut of either shipping low impact tactical features or ideating on big picture vision that doesn’t ship. This presentation can help design leaders building new teams or leaders without design ops support plan design intake and iteratively elevate design impact. This talk will explain how to do so by reframing UX design as a “product offering” instead of a “process” to facilitate intake and planning.
