User Experience (UX) thrives in the land of Discovery whereas delivery teams often live in the land of Development. It seems like they speak a different language, use different tools, have a different mindset? Perhaps they have more in common than you may think.

It might be a challenge to integrate the world of development and design, but this training helps to overcome the gap between the two domains. Based on real-world experience, this training gives you tangible answers on how you can all “just get along”.

Who should join

This training is perfect for anyone who works in or with a Product Team and wants to offer the best user experience. Previous participants include UX experts, Developers, Product Owners and Scrum Masters. It is important that you have at least 1 year of experience with product development and a passion for users and their experience with your product.

What you'll walk away with

We start with an exploration of development and UX: what similarities exist between the UX mindset and how a developer  works? We use real-life examples to identify bottlenecks in collaboration and discuss them with each other. At the end of the training, the gap is bridged and you are able to bring together the best of both worlds. The result? The best product!

Developer - Infrastructure as a code

Building castles in the clouds
Infrastructure as Code transforms your infrastructure into a versionable, reproducible software asset.

However, automating infrastructure requires a shift in mindset, not just a new toolset. This workshop bridges the gap between simple scripting and enterprise-grade automation. We will dive deep into creating reusable modules, managing complex dependencies, enforcing security policies as code, and ensuring your infrastructure is as testable as your applications.
