"The many ways in which DesignOps supports design teams" - .Peter Boersma - uxcon vienna 2023

In recent years, several responsibilities of design managers, particularly those that focus on improving the organization of design work, have been reassigned to DesignOps specialists. By now, the field of DesignOps has its own communities, conferences, and education programs.

This talk at uxcon vienna 2023 gives an overview - and some details - of how DesignOps specialists can support design teams and is based on the presenter’s experience as someone who has had the DesignOps mindset forever, who needed DesignOps services for his teams, and who has had the role of DesignOps Manager at Miro.
