LevelUp Now webinar

If you're familiar with LevelUp Now, you've probably noticed this season is shorter than usual. Remote working is the norm for many of us and we want to maximise our reach. Whilst we only have two main episodes this season, behind the scenes we are exploring ways to take our more hands-on events like ‘LevelUp Build’ online.

On November 8 we will run an interactive journey mapping workshop for business analysts and experience designers. This session will ensure you gain hands-on experience with key processes we use on real client projects.

On November 9 and 10 we will hold a Collaborative Coding Workshop (Two part event). These sessions serve as an introduction to two key skills in the developer toolkit: Pair Programming, and Test-Driven Development.

Places for the experiments are limited but if you’re interested please send us an email and we’ll put you on the waiting list. Based on participant and facilitator feedback we’ll use what we learn from these to plan new LevelUp events for 2023.
