In this workshop, we will investigate the how to grow great software designers. Here are some questions to stimulate discussion:
- What practices have you seen work? Fail?
- What worked a decade ago that is ineffective now, and vice versa?
- Which management and other organizational practices help or inhibit growing designers?
- Are there theories about the progression to great designers, or stages along the path?
- How is the new generation the same or different?
- How has the domain has changed or stayed the same (e.g., high scale systems, web platforms)?
- How has the lack of tools affected design?
