The talk
“Naming things people have to say out loud” is a forty-minute session in the Futures track. Expect real project files, the decisions that went wrong, and a short list of things you can try with your own team the following Monday.
Who it is for
Designers, engineers and product managers who work on the same product and want a shared way of talking about quality. No slides of logos, no frameworks with acronyms.
