Spencer is a consultant, coach and mentor in lean UX and agile UX, speaker, ex-designer, sometimes Ruby programmer and ardent proponent of visual communication. At Cultivate, he operates at the intersection of product management, design and development to help teams make great digital products. The Bones Brigade movie is about the 1980s Skateboard team formed of unknown amateur skaters, from radically different backgrounds, each specialist in their own discipline, led and mentored by an expert not much older than them. It transfixed me and got me thinking about teams in the software world. Spencer will share what he thinks we can learn about cross functional teams, mentoring, healthy competition in teams and who really runs a team.
