Transformation takes practice: A user’s guide to the Open Practice Library
When it comes to your unique business challenges, a one-size solution does not fit all. It’s difficult to scale organizational frameworks to affect meaningful change.
The Open Practice Library is a community-driven collection of exercises for making incremental progress along the product delivery cycle. Open practices in the library help cross-functional teams come together to extract the problem statement, define desired business outcomes, and work toward metrics-based goals. Combined with key technologies, open practices can break down organizational barriers, augment or migrate away from legacy systems, teach DevOps practices, or reduce technical debt, among other goals.

Webinar 2: Sneakers to Software: How creativity can catalyze an open cultural transformation
Innovation in retail, let alone the design for a sneaker, seems like it has nothing to do with technology. However, user research, defining problems, and designing innovative products are just a few parallels we can make between the software and retail world.
In this session we’ll show how a sneaker design and development processes demonstrate the same open practices to build software in an agile, collaborative, and progressive way. Join our experts as they discuss:
- How sneaker design and technology design parallel one another through collaboration and practices to discover needs, problems, goals, and much more.
- How you can research to understand customer problems and transform them into revolutionary solutions.
- How you can take the practices and use them to improve processes and outcomes across your team, business, and organization.
