About this Event
Are you in the DMV area and looking to break into product development or build practical skills that can help you transition into the field?
This FREE, beginner-friendly workshop is designed for aspiring and early-career product professionals who want hands-on experience turning real user needs into practical workflows and identifying where AI and automation can add value.
In this live session, you’ll learn how to move from an unmet user need to a practical workflow concept using the DPA Framework: Discover → Prototype → Automate. The workshop is designed to help you think more strategically about when to use AI, automation, or other technology and when not to.
During the session, you can expect to:
- Learn how to identify the real need behind a workflow or process problem
- Separate symptoms from the underlying problem
- Map a better workflow before investing in a solution
- Explore where AI and automation can reduce friction or manual effort
- Identify which steps still require human judgment
This is not a lecture-only webinar. We'll work through a practical exercise and leave with a simple DPA Opportunity Map that helps you define the problem, outline a better workflow, and identify potential automation opportunities.
