Have you ever combined the cost-effective and time-efficient processes of the Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC), with the touchpoint sinew of User Experience (UX) methodologies, in your life? Maybe it was with a difficult task to complete, or in a side hustle, or possibly through a passion project? If you said yes, you probably use agile sprint-like approaches to how you make decisions, or use kanban boards and estimates daily in your lives. If you find yourself balancing the information you have against deadlines, or if you care about both being DRY (don't repeat yourself) and as well as visual design, you are already consiously or subconsciously combining SDLC with UX processes. Tim Broadwater's UXxUX Lightning Talk will show the practical application and integration of the SDLC and UX processes, applied to a board gaming and podcasting passion project, and hopefully demonstrate how it's a method for success in any application! https://lnkd.in/gqaD6jA8 🎙️🎙️🎙️ Tim Broadwater defines the future of customer interaction at Amazon Web Services (AWS), drives network technology innovation, leverages big data and analytics, and collaborates with engineers on large-scale distributed systems. Tim also cohosts a UX and game design podcast called Design Thing Games, which is also a budding game design studio. Their first boardgame – a 2 to 4 player vampire-versus-vampire city dominion game – is in pre-launch on Kickstarter at ThirstBoardgame.com #UXxUX2024 #UXConference #Design #Vancouver #UXxUX #VancouverDesign #UXunconference #UXLearning #UXDesign #VancouverEvent #Community #YVR #Technology #VancouverIsAwesome #DesignVancouver #Design #Creativity #LightningTalk
