Apr 4, 2011Forget Strategies and Roadmapsby editor

Not so fast!

In her demi-session “Forget Strategies & Roadmaps: An 18-Month Plan for World Domination,” Adaptive Path’s Leah Buley dismisses conventional wisdom to show how to make an 18-month plan for a UX practice, without roadmaps or traditional planning approaches.

Feb 14, 2011Building a Practice as a UX Team of Oneby editor

Leah BuleyUX teams of one have unique challenges. Fewer resources. Creative isolation. Organizational ignorance. Sometimes even hostility. In her half-day workshop on “Building a Practice as a UX Team of One,” veteran WebVisions speaker Leah Buley will explore the real life organizational situations that teams of one work in, and what you can do about them.

Teams of one arguably have the furthest reach and impact, precisely because they mostly work with people who don’t yet know the value of user experience. But when UX teams of one are embattled, frustrated, territorial, and defensive, the discipline of UX seems that way too. And when UX teams of one are relevant and effective, confidence and interest in UX spreads.

The goal of this workshop is to give every attendee the tools to be relevant and effective by creating a personalized plan for their UX practice. Your plan will include the methods, soft skills, and strategies that will help you build support for UX and do your best work in a resource constrained environment.

Mar 16, 2009Good Design Fasterby editor

Leah Buley

Leah Buley of Adaptive Path brings her Experience Design mojo to her half-day workshop on “Good Design Faster,” a workshop that condenses a week-long design sprint into three hours—taking participants from back-of-the-napkin sketching to the presentation of design concepts. This process enables UX professionals to move speedily from loose requirements to a clear understanding of what to wireframe and prototype, and it produces dramatically better solutions by incorporating more iteration on the right issues and more people as participants in the design process.
