Fireside Chat: ‘The Dangers of Hype-Driven DesignOps’

About: Demand for greater designer velocity continues to increase while these teams operate at a fraction of the size of their developer counterparts, creating the perfect storm for short-sighted, hype-driven design operations decisions to improve productivity and efficiency. Unfortunately for product leaders, the blast radius from adopting the wrong design operations tools and models reaches developers too and can derail the design-to-development process. During this talk, Tim, board member of design collaboration, version control and handoff suite, Sympli.io, will discuss best practices for today’s design teams to audit their needs and safely pilot new DesignOps approaches.  

From tech-native companies to those just starting their digital transformation, Tim will discuss considerations such as adoption and management of design systems, establishing and maintaining relationships with engineering and approaches to tooling selection with org constraints in mind. Based on Tim’s work with customers such as Razer, Visa and Udemy, attendees will learn how to identify their best-fit solutions so they can improve their design-to-development process, including minimizing wasted time and resources and remaining flexible for future needs
