Elevator Pitch
Once your DevOps are humming along, it happens: a new feature request. Starting new features with static design mockups is failing. We need new processes so our teams can interact differently. Join us to explore integrating devOps and design workflows and what is holding us back.
Description
After the Kubernetes cluster is stood up, Docker containers are deployed, Jenkins jobs (or similar) are pushing code to production, your cloud app is humming along. Then, it happens: a new feature request.
Designers have long handed-off instructions for new features with only an image or two—static pictures that represent how the coded version should appear. That process is failing us. We don’t need to fire everyone and start over, and we need some new systems and structures to help our teams interact differently.
In this session, we will explore how to integrate developers, devOps, and design workflows and what is holding us back from cross-functional, high performing greatness.
