Next up we talk with Aleks Dzans and Komal Karir for Software@ on Design Talk

Welcome to "Software@", on Design Talk.

Kat : My name is Kat .

Gaz: And my name is Gary.

Gaz : And today we are chatting with Aleks Dzans and Komal Karir.

Kat: Komal, could you say a few words about your background and experience?

[Komal…]

Kat: Aleks, could you tell us a little about your background and experience?

[Aleks…]

Gaz : Okay, and then we already had a discussion on this topic, and we'd like to discuss usable usability evaluation in the workplace? Do you use it at every stage of development? Who makes the final decisions?

Kat : When you come up with an idea about a product with conflicts between innovation and profit, how do you rectify these conflicts?

Gaz : You're working in a large company, you find much conflict with the other departments, like what would it be, what difficulties do you encounter when working with people from different departments?

Gaz: And just in general, how many projects would you guys be working on at a time? Would it be multiple or just one at a time?

Gaz : So just shifting to another question, what approaches do you think have worked well for sharing or improving the knowledge and skills of people on teams you’ve worked with?

Kat: So how are you making up for that, like to share knowledge with these junior developers during the pandemic?

Kat : So going back to going back a little bit. Has the software industry completely shifted away from the Project Development Lifecycle or waterfall, towards Agile and Scrum? Surely there are some systems or projects that need the control and rigor of waterfall methods.

Kat : So, what’s next for you?
