Entering the market with a product that users will immediately love is much more difficult than the classic MVP path, but this is the only way to gain market share today. What truly makes a product meet criteria of Minimum Loveable Product, and to what extent are they consistent with the classic MVP concept? This perspective is based on my experience working on a startup within a large organization.

[PL] User is no longer the king, czyli o projektowaniu praktykocentrycznym | Rudnicki & Skoczek-Colombo | WaysConf 2023

WaysConf 2024 coming soon! Don't miss anything and follow us! While it may sound like heresy, user-centered design is slowly wearing out and no longer fits into the complex and dynamic world. There is room for new approaches to design, such as practice-centered design. We will explain what it entails and provide numerous concrete examples from projects in which we have applied it. In our opinion, the practice-centered approach allows for a better understanding of the context in which the product operates, leading to more valuable insights. And as it turns out, it is easy to convince both internal and external clients to embrace it. So, are you ready to make the switch?

[ENG] Lessons from designing one of the most successful SaaS solutions on the planet | Czyzak & Bober | WaysConf 2023
2024-02-01 17:09:34

WaysConf 2024 coming soon! Don't miss anything and follow us! Two years on a rocket ship. Lessons from designing one of the most successful SaaS solutions on the planet. Two years ago, Snowflake decided to locate its major European R&D center in Warsaw. Coming from two different backgrounds (a design studio & a big tech giant): we share our retrospective on two years working at Snowflake. We'll talk about how an extremely collaborative culture, "slow haste," and a strong focus on execution, contribute to an environment where design is the key differentiator. Snowflake proves that SaaS business does not have to be boring and that user experience can be a critical factor in determining the product's success. The founders challenged the assumption that data warehouses must be rigid, siloed, and difficult to use. Against a typical trend in that industry where product development is technology-driven, Snowflake's first acquisition—Numeracy, was for acquiring the best UI for the Data Cloud. Early investment in building a great user experience resulted in unprecedented customer satisfaction and loyalty, which made Snowflake the biggest tech debut in the history of Wall Street.
