Join us on Wednesday 1st April at the CEE building at Glasgow Caledonian University to look at how designers and developers can better work together to create and ship products.
18:00 – pizza and drinks
18:15 – kick off
What to expect
Oona (designer) and Kelsie (developer) will lead us on an evening of looking at the design/development handoff.
The session will begin with a talk exploring collaboration between designers and developers within product teams. While they often work closely together, effective collaboration is not always guaranteed. Oona (designer) and Kelsie (developer) will highlight three common barriers that can hinder teamwork, sharing real experiences and practical approaches to better align design and development.
In the second part of the session, participants will be invited to reflect on their own experiences. Attendees will write down situations related to the challenges discussed—or introduce additional ones we may not have considered. These contributions will then serve as the basis for a panel discussion to close the evening.
A huge thanks for Glasgow Caledonian University for hosting us!
