Over the past year we have worked as Product & Experience Design consultants at a NY-based education tech startup. We have seen it grow from several people with a great idea and ambitious vision, into a company with over 100 employees across the world.
As the startup grew, we faced many challenges. Our teams were outgrowing our processes and had to evolve. We struggled to balance design ideation with delivery.
Through the journey, we have tried, failed, learnt and succeeded at working in Lean ways to deliver a valuable product that has evolved continuously from it's initial vision. Join us as we explore how to effectively develop a product and evolve a team in the face of constant change.
