Your System is a Language
Software development, component-oriented design, and content strategy practices all emphasize the idea of building a “shared vocabulary” to make communication between team members easier.

UX Camp Spring 2018
Hi, {{FIRSTNAME}}!
Personalization is hot: Whether you’re a designer, a developer, an information architect, or a marketer, you’ve probably had *someone* tell you your next project will need it. Beneath the products and the hype, though, there’s a tangle of complex assumptions and challenges that can make the difference between success and failure. In this session, Jeff will explain the basic conceptual building blocks shared by most personalization techniques; explore two projects that used those techniques in simple and complex ways; and give you a checklist of things to ask when your boss – or a salesperson – tells you Personalization Is What You Need.
