    Description

    Architects and engineers are often asked to adopt tools that fundamentally change how they work, without having had a voice in how those tools were designed. That disconnect can turn new technology into another process teams have to work around. Before founding Pirros, Peter Johann and Ari Baranian worked as structural engineers and experienced that disconnect firsthand. Using the development of a new QA/QC product as a case study, they will describe how their engineering experience helped them identify problems with traditional QA/QC processes, and how they partnered directly with Pirros clients to design, test, and refine the new product. Attendees will learn how architecture and engineering firms can provide feedback that shapes product decisions and how software teams can involve clients more effectively throughout development. Both sides will leave with practical ways to build stronger working relationships, and create tools that better reflect real project workflows.

    Key Learnings

    • Explain how practitioner experience can reveal workflow problems technology should address.
    • Identify how AE firms can provide useful feedback during product design, testing, and refinement.
    • Describe how software teams can involve clients to test ideas against real project workflows.
    • Apply practical ways to build stronger feedback loops between AE firms and technology providers.
