Building Balanced Core Teams

"Good teams have product, design and engineering sit side-by-side, and embrace the give and take between the functionality, the user experience and the enabling technology.” – Marty Cagan

In 2009 Jeff Patton, David Hussman organized a group including Alan Cooper, Lane Halley and Anders Ramsey for an “Agile Evolution.” This event gave birth to a movement dedicated to an interdisciplinary design process for building innovative solutions that solve real world problems for customers.

A balanced core team consisting of equal parts product management, development, and user experience creates a trifecta for designing these solutions based on shared ownership, collaboration and customer empathy.

In this highly interactive presentation, you’ll meet experienced local balanced team members - Nick Jester, Bogdan Stanciu, Beth Findlay and Archie Miller. You’ll hear their story and take part in a live discussion on how a balanced team works, how to form a team, and how to maintain team health.
