About Maya
Maya Okafor is Head of Research at Loop Labs. Over the last decade Maya has led teams shipping products used by millions of people, and writes regularly about the gap between how work is planned and how it actually gets done.
The talk
“What people do when nobody is watching” 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.
