Agenda

Daniel Gost - Principal Product Designer, Skyscanner
The agile paradox: slow down to speed up

While Agile promotes speed and iteration, we often overlook the need for stakeholder alignment, proper discovery, and problem definition upfront. Without this foundation, teams risk wasting time and resources solving the wrong problems, ultimately reducing impact. Our approach highlights that taking the time to align early leads to faster, more effective outcomes later.

Synchronising Success: The Magic of Dual Track Agile

In fast-paced Agile environments, UX practitioners often struggle to balance the iterative nature of design and the continuous nature of research with the demands of delivery. Dual Track Agile provides a solution, enabling teams to explore user needs while simultaneously building products. In this talk, Lucille will share how her team used Dual Track Agile to bridge the gap between UX and development. Through real-world examples, she’ll demonstrate how this approach fosters continuous discovery, delivery, provides a framework for enhanced collaboration and delivers better user experiences.

Enabling a Product Thinking Mindset

How do you define a high-performing product team? As product and design leaders our aim should be to build teams that are effective at both understanding and achieving what customers find valuable and efficient at achieving consistent business success. Teams need strong product thinking mindsets, by being both Agile and Lean, but how might they actually get there?

This talk will introduce the nine 'Principles of Product Thinking' and the 'Lean Capability Canvas', giving teams the tools they need to build strong product thinking mindsets.

Mayokun Ogungbola - Product Designer, Just Eat 
Agile Alone Won’t Work Here

In today’s world, Agile is seen as the best solution for driving innovation. But there’s an important question: does it truly deliver, especially in environments where constraints and shifting priorities are the norm?

In this talk, Mayokun will examine why relying solely on Agile often falls short. She’ll discuss how Agile needs to go beyond a being process or development checklist to becoming a dynamic tool that fosters real iteration, alignment, and shared understanding—all while keeping the user at the heart of the process.

The aim is to show that Agile, when complemented by other principles, can become a driver of user-centered solutions that truly make an impact.
