Overview
Process is important. Sure, as hackers and creatives we might get by for some time on our eccentric ideas and skills, but the reality is that, as a business, we need to define and continually refine our processes to ensure continued growth and quality.
In this workshop we’ll examine what kinds of processes are used in the web and design industries, the tools they use, create an outline of your own process as well as a milestone calendar to make sure you complete it after the day has concluded.
We’ll laugh, we might cry, but most importantly we’ll grow our understanding and skills to create a process that can help our companies right now.
