More and more companies are investing in Design Operations.
DesignOps practitioners, including program managers, focus on everything from team culture and events to optimizing processes and improving design workflows. They help Product Teams achieve their goals. They ensure output expectations are met and that commitments to deliver the best user experience possible are fulfilled.
Which prompts the questions: How does DesignOps fit into the larger Product Development ecosystem and why are the specialized roles within DesignOps even necessary?
In this session, we discuss how the people in DesignOps work with:
- Technical Program Managers
- Product Operations
- Product Managers
and why it is essential for all the roles to be compatible and for the people who occupy them to collaborate – so best to deliver the goals of the ‘Product Organization’.
We explore how DesignOps is an integral part of the hidden work that must be placed at the intersection of design, research, product development, and leadership.
