being a ux team of one: understanding strengths & weaknesses
DESCRIPTION
Small UX teams have unique challenges. Knowing how to deal with having fewer resources and possibly feeling creative isolation, or worse organizational ignorance and/or hostility. This presentation will explore some real life team situations that small teams and solo UX practitioners work in, and show what you can do about them. The goal of this talk is to arm every attendee with a few successful strategies and methods to help positively shape their company culture so you won't be a UX-er of one anymore.TRANSCRIPT
