In a world where 75%+ software projects still fail, what is going wrong? Failure means the system doesn't meet customer and/or business needs. This workshop allows you to super-charge your design learning, combining technical skills, team-working, conflict resolution, and complexity-management techniques.

Let’s break this cycle of failure; take these skills and apply them straight away to your work. The Software Design Accelerator is about increasing your velocity towards successful outcomes.

Maximum number of participants: 32

Target Audience: Developers, team leads, staff plus, architects, tech leads, product owners, business analysts
Prerequisites:Some experience of working on the design or implementation of a system is good to have
Level: Practicing

Extended Abstract:
This workshop is based around a problem statement, where you will exercise a variety of software design techniques within a supportive environment. We'll take a step back to think about designing the system that builds the system, and have fun creating a design together.

Join this workshop to:

• Get your teeth into an interesting problem with practical activities.
• Explore and share techniques for breaking down the problem and designing a solution.
• Practise strategies to manage complexity in software development.
• Explore the social-technical aspects of creating a software system.

This is a fun and mostly practical workshop for anyone working in software development.
