Fall Workshops Schedule

Title	Date	Description	Language	Registration
Problem framing & ideation	October 13/14/15 | 10am (ET)	You've identified a mission — to make something better, to change a process, to solve a problem — but how do you know if you've gotten to the root of the problem before you design a solution? Do you know what you’re trying to solve? This multi-session workshop will help teams take a broad problem or challenge they are facing and break it down into specific pieces, gain an understanding of users, and identify possible solutions to explore. Prerequisite: Bring a real business problem to be solved (what needs to be fixed?)	English with bilingual Q&A and materials	Registration closed.
Product management approaches in Government	Wednesday, October 27 | 1pm (ET)	Managing digital products sometimes requires a different approach than traditional project management. In this workshop, you'll learn product management fundamentals, and apply these concepts to your work through hands-on activities. You'll also have a chance to learn from others who have incorporated product management into their public service organizations and hear about their journey to successful product teams.	English with bilingual Q&A, bilingual materials	Registration closed.
Agile in action — applying agile concepts in your organization	Tuesday, November 2 | 2pm (ET)	Everyone is talking about agile, but what does it mean to put these tools and methods into practice within your team? Join us for an interactive, activity-based agile workshop where you can gain an understanding of how agile could work for you – and how to tailor it to your team’s needs.	English with bilingual Q&A, bilingual materials	Registration closed.
Finding and working with your users	Tuesday, November 9 | 1pm (ET)	"User-centered design" is talked about a lot, but how do you know if you're doing it? And if you haven't done it before, how do you start? This two-hour workshop will help you identify who your users are and explore how to engage them in shaping your product, service, or program to fit their needs.

Forming teams for digital projects	Wednesday, November 17 | 1pm (ET)	Building strong, multi-disciplinary teams that deliver products and services is not always easy.

English with bilingual Q&A, bilingual materials	Postponed. Check back for future dates.
Unblocking tools 101	Wednesday, November 24 | 1pm (ET)	How might we unblock the modern tools we could use to move our digital projects forward? If you've ever heard "You can't have that tool", this is a workshop for you. Join us to talk through "the rules" vs. "the imagined rules" with experts and learn how to request access to the tools your team needs to be successful.
