Summary
In 2017 when we first launched the DesignOps Summit, the term "Design Operations" was still capturing the design community's imagination. Now in its fifth year, we've climbed the maturity ladder common to many design disciplines and communities of practice: envisioning, exploring guiding principles and charters, defining, scoping, and mapping out the work, all while doing the work and planning the future of DesignOps. The DesignOps Summit has been an essential and passionate community for the growth of the field; lead curator Kristin Skinner will review the DesignOps story and the Summit's role in its evolution.
