Communicating digital community of practice

On Wednesday, we welcomed Helen Reynolds from Comms Creatives to our monthly Communicating Digital Community of Practice. We had 16 attendees from organisations such as Welsh Local Government Association, Digital Health and Care Wales, Wales Council for Voluntary Action, Higher Education Funding Council for Wales and Welsh Government.

Questions focused on how to break out of the social media echo chamber and ideas on how to recruit user research participants on social media. If you’d like to join the community, you can sign up here.

Sprint planning - getting better at prioritisation

This week we entered sprint #4 and are definitely getting better at prioritising our work.

People are coming to the sprint session with a clear idea of what needs to be achieved during the sprint and we’re getting really good at challenging each other on what’s realistic in the time that we have.

We will be talking through our process at an upcoming communicating digital community of practice if you’re interested in finding out more.
