X : One of our customers wants a new feature in our product. Me : Sounds good. Add it to the backlog. X : No other customer seems to want this. It's unique to them. Me : Is it a generally useful feature that others might want? X : I doubt it Me : Then super low priority.

For Day 2 of #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek we thought we'd share our new Moments of Joy project, which we kicked off with a collaboration with @MusicintheRound! Their clarinettist, Matt Hunt, kindly performed to the residents of Brunswick Gardens who sang and boogied along 💃🕺

Agree with this. Forever grateful for early bosses like @willmcinnes and @amayfield who set an example that blogging is an essential part of the practice. Also agree with @kirsty_joan that imposter-syndrome stops many. Shame as i'd love more insight into what you're all doing.
I really feel like we might have lost the art of blogging these days, especially around design/digital in government. Most ‘blogs’ are more publications or articles, they’re part of marketing/comms backlogs and often planned for months in advance as part of ‘messaging’...

I've been reflecting on what the most surprising learnings I've had, working at well-known tech "unicorns" like Skype, Skyscanner, Uber. Here is a list, as I'm writing up these reflections in more detail.

Thank you to our amazing #agilemanc speakers and Programme Chair @andylongshaw for all of their support in re-arranging our plans for Agile Manchester. Details of our virtual event on 15 May are now online. bit.ly/39yQXOa
If you're creating user personas as part of your process, and those personas don't include "user stalking their ex", "user who wants to traumatize vulnerable folks", and "user who thinks it's funny to show everyone their genitals" then you're missing an important design step.
