⚡️ FEDC 2018 - Samantha Warren & Kuan Luo
summary
Product teams run a recurring program called Design Stretch that pulls cross‑functional members out of sprint work for structured blue‑sky sessions, then converts outcomes into roadmapped experiments. Sessions focus on concrete futures like collaborative creative workflows for 2020 and new ways to manipulate type across apps and devices using Typekit fonts and prototyping in Photoshop/Illustrator/iPad. Practices include quarterly review time blocks, splitting into squads, role gap analysis with Venn charts, and video user sessions whose findings feed hiring and feature priorities.
