About

Learning to work with other disciplines can be difficult, just in the same way as trying to make friends with your neighbours. Some neighbours happily give you a wave or make you a birthday cake, where some feel like they are going to fall through from the upstairs flat.

The point is, if you don’t get on with your neighbour it can become quite difficult. Imagine living in a flat and your neighbours refuse to grab your post when they see it in the rain or completely ignore your existence in the street. This applies to project work too!

This talk will enable designers to communicate with other specialisms, and disciplines such as such as developers, business analysts and product owners, to push a project forward.
