Past Talks
Too often we start our projects with a brief and vague direction, and without even understanding what our stakeholders really want. Sometimes they don't really know, either! In this workshop, Creative Director Cindy Brummer will guide you through a vision session, what it is, why you should run one and how a vision session can align the product and keep everyone focused on the project.
This session will understand how to:
- Identify key stakeholders early
- How to setup alignment early
- Running a vision session - Stakeholder Journey Mapping
- Mitigating risk: How to avoid conflict and consequences
