Description
Every interface uses data in some way, whether to personalize the content or to create visualizations of large data sets. The growing complexity of our data and the tools needed to manage it means successful designs cannot be created singlehandedly: we need to collaborate, but how? The historical division between developers and designers won’t cut it; designers need to code, and developers need to design. With traditional roles out the window, we need new processes. How can we ensure we get a successful design every time? In this 2-hour session, we’ll study a series of workflows proposed by data visualization and design experts, and explore which elements can be adapted for your team. The instructor will present relevant case studies, and moderate a discussion in which participants can share their own experiences, successes, and challenges.
You will leave with an understanding of how successful data design teams work, and a reading list for future study.
