Product Development is Broken
66%
of features fail to deliver value
Microsoft started tracking every feature and discovered that only 33% of good ideas actually delivered the expected value
42%
of people have their hands tied
The delivery team know what is best but they are blocked by company structure and policies from doing the right thing.
22%
more time spent on rework
Teams that use legacy development practices spend more time on rework which kills motivation and slows delivery.
There's a Better Way of Building Products
Projects involve functions temporarily working together to deliver a set scope, but this limits the ability to learn about customers and forces a more short term view. What we need is for the right mix of skills across Product, UX, Design, Dev and Ops to be working together to learn, build and continuously improve the product.
How UXDX Enables Change
In order to change long established, and embedded, working practices you need the appetite for change followed by both top down and bottom up support.
Motivation
Hear how our world class speakers are benefiting from product teams that are working together to solve the problems of their customers and meet the key business objectives
Personal Ability
Hands-on training targeted on the new tools and techniques that cross functional product teams need
Organisational Ability
Learn how to the world's leading companies are aligning their product teams across their organisations and empowering them to deliver
It is unique to bring together the UX and development community under the shared goal and mission. UXDX is challenging the conventional, discipline oriented conferences.
Kevin Lee, VP & Head of Design, Visa
All product builders, all designers and all developers should be here - together. Best content event in Dublin.
Deirdre Ni Luasaigh, CEO, Culture Ark
It's all too easy to fall into the silos of our individual disciplines. UXDX is explicitly about bringing people from different roles together.

There are a lot of ideas to help teams improve their product processes. UXDX is the first time its put together in a way that actually works!
Richard Dalton, Head of Design, Capital One
