UX Cloud App Discovery 2-Day Workshop

cloudThing

UX Cloud App Discovery 2-Day Workshop takes a user-centered approach to designing a cloud-hosted app or service to solve business challenges using Azure.

The workshop is a fully collaborative and participatory experience, on the first day we’ll work to understand the challenges and opportunities you face and take a deep dive into understanding your user base and their current experience. This will enable us to work with you on the second day to map a high level scope of the work to improve user experience through a new Azure hosted service. Our UX team will sketch on paper ideas and thoughts for how your organisation can take advantage of the range of services in Azure to build a new product. As an optional add-on, cloudThing can take these ideas and turn them into wireframes bringing to life the key concepts to share with stakeholders across the organisation.

The actual activities will be chosen to meet the needs of the client.
