A large corporate presence, a news site, a complex backend tool, a SAAS platform: raw concept and design work is only part of what it takes to make large scale web design or redesign projects successful.

Projects that warrant the investment of hundreds of concept and design days usually take place in complex, sometimes entrenched corporate settings in which awareness building and change management, the quality of business, market and process analysis, the correct consideration of technological feasibility and technological agendas and, last but not least, the quality and depth of user research can make or break a project - or even the project owner’s business.

This presentation will describe a set of modules that help us successfully manage large scale design projects at iA.

This talk targets project managers or product owners planning and and steering large scale web design projects, be it in an agency or on the client side. People who simply want to build design awareness within their company might find one or the other nugget too.

As professionals working on digital products, all of us aspire to build great products that address a great need and delight the users. Even if our products solve the need or the big picture; unless the details are also handled properly; the solution fails. The details control the moment-to-moment experience. The details if done right, take your product from being just good enough to great.

This talk will help you identify opportunities to look for these details, provide a framework to design them and finally tips on how to test and get them right.

To emphasise the changing nature of web, and to encourage adoption of progressive enhancement.

The amount of control that we as a community exercise on the web is unfortunate. The web is far more flexible and inclusive than we believe it to be. Let’s appreciate the beauty of the web and understand why we should adopt (and encourage) practices that uphold the spirit of the web.

Is this going to be preachy?
Slightly.

If you are an entrepreneur or you work in a startup, you know that the most important thing is to ship fast. But more important than shipping fast is shipping right. The agile method helps us in building and shipping products quickly but how many times have you had to revert on a feature or redesign completely because that's not what the customers wanted?

In the session we will try to find out the best answers these questions.

How do you find out what is right for your customers? How do you get your hypothesis tested? How do you get your design tested? What is a minimum viable product? How do you build a minimum viable product?

To help developers avoid making design mistakes that leads to jarring user experience. Design is hard and as developers we tend to focus more on functionality.
