I've mentioned here on LinkedIn that this year's DesignOps Summit is virtual, that it takes place September 23-25, and that the program is truly community-driven. Oh, and that the early-bird registration deadline is this Tuesday, August 6. What I've not mentioned is the workshops. Let's fix that now: • Peter Merholz: "From Ladder to Trellis: Building Flexible Career Architectures for UX Teams" (8 hours over 2 segments: September 26-27) • Patrizia Bertini: "Mastering Operational Models and Metrics for High-Performing Design Teams" (8 hours over 2 days: September 30 & October 2) • David M.: "DesignOps Fundamentals: Tangible Benefits, Measurable Outcomes" (8 hours over 2 segments: October 7-8) • Jake Burghardt: "Design Operations to Activate Known Customer Insights" (8 hours over 2 segments: October 9-10) Register now, and you'll get both the early-bird discount and another break when you add a workshop to your conference ticket. (Though you can join a workshop without attending the Summit.) More info/registration linkl in the first comment below; hope you'll join us! #DesignOps #ResearchOps #DesignOperation #DesignProgramManagement #ResearchOperations #metrics #workshops

#LeanUXmas Day 10: “User Models for Product Work” by Dave Hora https://lnkd.in/eT-mB2Wk “I propose a kind of model-first thinking for research activities, in an attempt to build research as a stream-aligned activity and unbundle it from rigid project structures. I also contend that a lot of our activities, right now, may lead to wasted work if we don’t first start by structuring internal knowledge — to see if there’s really a productive pathway forward for external research in a given domain.”

Last chance to register for my Crash Course on Strategic Product Research tomorrow. I hope to see you there! 👀 https://lu.ma/spr #uxresearch #uxrguild #productstrategy

What to do with all the research everyone is talking about? Step by step! 1. Listening to your Organization: Creating structure means listening to the needs of our organization and gradually building processes. 👇 2. Start with the first simple goal: just talk - with teams and their experiences and requirements for research. Simple first steps can usually be designed together. 🤝 3. Use existing processes and meetings to get research where it belongs - directly to the product team and decision-makers. This is exactly what we do for these people. 🤘 With a clear structure, User Research processes can be efficient and gamechanging.

While it is great to know the theory so you know where to start, the practice can be more complex. That's why I firmly believe we can grow by doing, failing, and doing it again or seeing other people in action or examples of work. I am happy Reforge believes this and has created the "Artifacts" section where professionals can share real-life examples from their day-to-day work. So here is my contribution to the product management community - the Workshop Prep Canvas, your go to tool for preparing any workshop or collaborative session. You can also find some other cool examples on their site from Uber, Medium and other interesting companies. How do you prepare for workshops? https://lnkd.in/gYe43SAm #Productmanagement #knowledgesharing
