Designers 🤝 Engineers: Bridging Methodology Gaps : Design Study Group Apr 2026

​Designers and Engineers share the same goal — building great products.
So why does collaboration still feel… hard sometimes?

​The truth is, it’s not about skills — it’s about how we work.

​Designers often explore problems through Design Thinking, embracing ambiguity and iteration.
Engineers focus on Agile, SDLC, and delivery, optimizing for feasibility, stability, and speed.

​Different methodologies, different priorities — and that’s where friction begins.

​In this interactive 2–3 hour session, we’ll bring Designers and Engineers together to:

• ​Map out how each side actually works

• ​Uncover where misunderstandings and conflicts happen

• ​Share real experiences from both perspectives

• ​Collaboratively define better ways of working together

​This is not a lecture — it’s a working session.
Expect open conversations, practical exercises, and honest insights.

​Whether you’re a Designer trying to work better with Engineers,
or an Engineer navigating design ambiguity — this session is for you.

​Let’s turn friction into flow.
