ThoughtWorks open house

Our ‘Open House’ events have become a tradition, but this is the first time we are hosting an Open House at our new Brisbane office! We are inviting UX Australia attendees and ThoughtWorks’ friends to an exciting night that coincides with the first night of workshops.

We will be providing drinks and nibbles from 6:00pm onwards

We will be running a session entitled "Play Doh Zoo"
This Agile UX Game demonstrates the fundamental agile principles the methodology was built on in an entertaining and interactive way. It is specifically targeted at those who want to better understand the benefits of Agile, specifically experience designers. It illustrates how design activities can occur in an agile environment. Some of the principles covered include:

• Working Software – Why it is important to deliver value early
