From Design Thinking Prototypes to Agile Projects

Inspirational new ideas for complex problems often fail in implementation. In this workshop, the participants occupy themselves with the interface at which the idea is translated into a product. 

Goals

• The translation of a complex product idea into implementation is simulated in this workshop. 
• Participants develop plans for the agile implementation of a given product idea.  
• Participants can discuss their own projects with the coaches and the other participants, and thus benefit from their experience. 

The participants work in small teams to translate a product idea into a product. They use the 3 tools that are implemented in agile practice: 1. User Stories and Maps, 2. the Product Backlog and 3. the Strategic Roadmap. All tools are industry-relevant and have individual strengths and limits that can be directly experienced in this workshop. 

Rather than providing general training for individuals and teams in the agile way of working, this workshop focuses on the professional application of tools in the agile planning phase of a project.   

Benefits

• You work on an actual case study, which highlights the many of the challenges of agile project work. 
• You engage as a member of a small team (max. of 6), with others who are already familiar with Design Thinking. 
• You gain application security in the tools described above.
