Design in crisis webinar

How do cross-functional, distributed teams manage when faced with the task of creating a new digital product, using emerging technologies, urgently? This webinar was held on 20 October 2020, presented by Stephen Shaw

Framed by the story of the design and development of the StopCOVID NI mobile app (the contact tracing app for Northern Ireland), this webinar explored the challenges faced by all stakeholders in this unique scenario. It focussed on insights and learnings that relate to digital product development (design, user research, project management, stakeholder engagement), but also those that may have wider relevance and applicability.
