Designers & developers can be best friends: Why these relationships are key for developing solutions

Whattttt? Designers and developers - friends? What sort of nonsense is this? Collaboration between engineering and design is key for building world-class solutions to problems; it is important to any organisation to let these relationships thrive. By removing the walls between teams, we can help evolve our ideas further and discover technical limitations earlier in the process. Handover processes become obsolete as both sets of teams: have built the solution from the ground up, know exactly how it is going to work and what customer problems it is solving.

In this session, Michael will provide actionable takeaways to help your teams collaborate better, encourage you to remove siloed knowledge between teams and hopefully inspire you to include more stakeholders in your design process.
