Solving the challenges of Shift Working for managers and workers with market leading, easy to use, affordable scheduling tools MyShiftManager and MyShiftPlanner
I had a great time at the Pixeltree Usabilitree workshop last week. The guys at Pixeltree clearly know their trade, I learned a lot about effective design sprints from that session which we can apply straight away. In my career, I've had the (fortunate?) opportunity to work for tech enterprises which religiously stick to waterfall methods, despite attempts from the tech teams to go agile. Slow processes, 12/18 month build cycles before any feedback and not uncommon for the main stakeholder to have changed their mind by the time it's delivered. "Oh, I forget you were build that - we aren't doing that now... just shelve it". 🤯 Fast design sprints are the key. Involve all the stakeholders, agree a design, test it with stakeholders/potential clients, then the gateway - will this work or not? Not a line of code written. Only a week wasted if it's binned, and lessons learned. What a revelation! I can see why PixelTree are doing so well! Great advice, met great people and ate decent pizza 🍕 Thanks guys for a great evening.
Thanks Chris, love this post! Why do teams continue to work on this way? It’s so painful at times, and there is another way 👍
Nice one Chris - love this! Appreciate the kind words and most importantly that it gave you food for thought 🍕 💡 👏🏻
