About #DOS2019


The first two years of the DesignOps Summit focused on scoping design and research operations. The field has matured a bit, and in 2019 we addressed themes that DesignOps leaders and managers were grappling with: Demonstrating Value, Partnering Outside Design, and Change Management. We did so by covering the case studies, tools, techniques, and actionable take-aways that define DesignOps as a practice. Attendees walked away knowing what a modern DesignOps practice can and should be.
