    In person training - Storymapping the User Experience - Engineering products that engage

    Thu - Fri, Dec 8 to Dec 9, 9:00am - 5:00pm

    Location: 

    O’Reilly Boston Training Center: 2 Avenue de Lafayette, 6th floor, Boston, MA

    What does a great experience have in common with a great story? Everything. Translating complex concepts into simple, powerful narratives can help you more effectively imagine and evaluate your products, campaigns, content, and features—before committing to expensive pixels and code. Developing a product with an experience that engages, influences, and inspires can be a daunting task—but the art of crafting a compelling story is easily learned.

    Storytelling Strengthens Teams: UXPA December meeting

    6:30pm to 8:30pm

    Location: 

    Collaborative Consulting, now part of CGI, 70 Blanchard Road, 4th floor, Burlington, MA 

    We all tell stories. It is in our nature. It is the way that we share experiences. Too often, artifacts of the design process focus on the features without explaining how they fit into the big picture. Storytelling allows one to think holistically about the entire customer experience and allow the entire team to rally around one singular focus. A great story informs everyone to “Why” you are building and does not focus on “How” or “What.”

    Join UXPA Boston for our monthly meeting at Collaborative Consulting, now part of CGI. Please bring an ID to check-in with security. RSVP...
