Presentation Title: Reflections on DesignOps at AIRBUS

Outline: The objective of this talk is to share my 4-year reflection in scaling up DesignOps inside AIRBUS in terms of timeline, strategy, structure and task coverage. Digital transformation brings birth to different design teams across complex structures inside AIRBUS . Facing various frictions such as long processes, high regulations and political issues, the mindset of DesignOps was introduced at the early stage to support designers and facilitate their daily activities in order to amplify the value of design. Lessons learned on this 4-year journey are shared in terms of : – What is different and how to get started, – What is projected to pave our way of DesignOps, – What is the strategy of designOps and how to get it scaled up – What flexible model helps us to adapt DesignOps to AIRBUS context – How to keep DesignOps survived facing different challenges Each lesson is highlighted by what works well and what doesn’t work. I look forward to sharing this case study as a reference for those in the DesignOps context.
