Delta CX: The Truth About How Valuing Customer Experience Can Transform Your Business
Delta CX is a refreshing model bringing CX and UX together in task and in name with the key goal of improving the products, services, and experiences (PSE) that we offer our potential and current customers.

DevOps ICU: Improve Processes and Results by Correctly Integrating UX
This book is the companion to our “Dev && UX” training, formerly known as “DevOps ICU.”
Software development methodologies lack the details of how UX fits into organizations, teams, and projects. Some suggest that a Product Manager describing features is enough, UX should train others to do their work, or excluding UX solves them being “too siloed.” This happens with no other role in software development. It’s hurting culture, efficiency, and productivity, and creating poor products for customers.
Your customer only sees your UX, not your 1000 developers or if you were Agile or Lean. Companies are figuring out that UX specialists and the User-Centered Design process are high-ROI and irreplaceable. Recent highly-publicized UX failures remind us that skimping on UX can alienate customers, create negative media attention, and burn millions of dollars.
Learn how the UX process fits into Agile and Lean; augments DevOps goals; increases customer satisfaction; and saves time, money, and sanity… all before developers write a line of code.
Target audience: Non-CX roles including product managers, project managers, developers, QA, business analysts, and Agile coaches, business transformation leaders, and others involved in software development organizations.
