Resolve: Leading Through Tensions to Project Success How do you navigate your team through the tensions that are both inherent in projects, and those that can arise whenever a group of people work together to accomplish goals? This workshop provides support to project managers to recognize, anticipate, courageously engage and effectively lead teams through conflict to success. By using practical strategies and techniques, project managers can analyze and plan the best course of action to proactively lead their team through choppy waters to the solid landing of project success. These techniques help to lower the stress level and to strengthen relationships within the team. At its core, teams are made of individuals who want to contribute to the project success by using their talents and expertise. When project managers utilize facilitation and conflict resolution techniques to engage members and to ensure each member is heard, the outcomes are successful deliverables strongly supported by a unified team.

Strength in Scenarios - Getting Meaningful User Feedback on Designs 'What do you think?' and 'How does this look?' are easy questions to ask when presenting users with potential design concepts, but they rarely give way to meaningful feedback. Using scenarios (workflow-based stories that provide a framework for getting user feedback) allows the user to give more honest, relevant feedback that's more closely related to the work they do on an everyday basis. It's essential to gather user feedback during all stages of an iterative design process and using scenarios to support design assessments works well within an Agile environment. In this workshop session, geared towards designers and product owners, we will explore what goes into creating meaningful scenarios and how they can be used. We will practice writing scenarios based on provided user workflows and paper prototypes. Scenarios can be a great tool in your toolbox for gathering requirements that your users will appreciate. Learning Outcomes: Write realistic scenarios that help users give meaningful feedback Discover the differences between what you see and what you hear Apply feedback and observations to refine designs
