About this talk
Slides for Speaking the same language
It sometimes feels like design and product are talking a different language – both striving to get great products out to their customers, but frequently misunderstanding each other on the path to get there. Kate will share the times she’s seen this happen and the ways she’s tackled it so that you can get ahead and create brilliant working partnerships with your product counterparts.
