Nº 121 :: Jay Meissner :: Assumptions Prohibited

This event has passed

We hosted Jay Meissner from the Adobe XD team at DOGA. Before joining Adobe he had run his own software company building complex web apps and enterprise workflows, and he also led IxDA Berlin and the non-profit OpenDeviceLab.

In "Assumptions Prohibited", Meissner questioned whether beta releases should be treated as preliminary, asking who decides which features a beta contains and whether users become attached to core concepts that are hard to reverse later.

He described how the Adobe XD team used user research, rapid validation and fast iteration to ship production-ready releases every month, and how setting aside the team's own assumptions changed the way Adobe designed and built products. The following day, Meissner and his team ran an introductory Adobe XD workshop.
