In many companies, the product manager and the UX designer roles go hand in hand. This week's post is an introduction to the UX designer role, how it's similar (and different) to the product manager role, and how the two work effectively together to deliver a great product.

Before we start to dive deeper into the two roles, let's first explain the role of the UX designer. User experience (UX) design is a discipline that covers the end-to-end experience of a product. UX designers are responsible for understanding the target users' challenges when using a particular product and then designing an elegant solution that helps users solve those challenges.

It just so happens that this overlaps with product managers' goals. It's not surprising that there's a lot of confusion where one role ends and the other begins. In fact, in many smaller startups, the product manager is also the UX designer. This person is expected to understand the market and business goals, the user needs, and the best way to prioritize features and manage a team.

However, when teams get larger, stakeholders become more numerous, and the company expands, the two roles are split into more specialized positions. This makes a lot of sense because at this point it becomes impossible for one person to take on so many tasks and responsibilities and still be effective in delivering the product.

UX can be a great job, until it becomes horrible. It's definitely not for everyone and it's not even about learning Figma, or the Design Thinking process. Is 2022 a good year to become a UX designer? Yes and No.
In this video we're going to look at the reasons NOT to become a UX designer this year - and I'll break down four of them for you - with the most important being last.

If you're a junior UX designer and you want to learn and grow, make sure you're ready for everything that this job entails.

UX Design = Product Design...
Wait, WHAT?! 😱 Let's settle this once and for all! 🤯 What are the actual differences between a Product Design role, and User Experience Role...?!

Increasingly we see both UX Design, and Product Design confused, muddled and used interchangeably, particularly on recruitment portals. But what are the key differences and similarities between these two roles, and why should you apply for the specific role, not the job title?

In this video we give some tangible definitions, show how these two roles are very similar, and... how at the end of the day... these titles REALLY don't matter that much...

If you're starting out in the design industry, there are increasingly more confused by all ambiguous job titles out there, then this is the video for you! We detail the 4 key reasons why titles like these don't really matter, and why you should focus on honing your application to the individual job requirements and the needs of the employer!

Today we are discussing the UX project planning process and best practices for including it in your overall UX design process.

Project planning is a pretty generic idea, but it is incredibly essential for UX designers of any size and scope. If you are working with a team, it is even more important to make sure that everyone contributes and agrees upon a plan before jumping into a longterm multistep project.

A project plan is not just for UX designers. Any type of designer, whether you are a brand, user interface, marketing, or visual designer, this process can definitely apply to you.

Before planning, I highly recommend having already discussed your hard deadlines and goals with your team and stakeholders. This way you can figure out what milestones you need to include in your plan. If you don't do this, it might be hard to accurately plan for the different deliverables you will need to complete.

The first thing you need to do is to write out the key phases of your plan. These can also be thought about as the different parts of your typical design process. For example, research, design, testing, implementation.

Once you come up with your key phases, then you can list out the different activities that you will need to complete before moving on to the next phase.
You can think about these activities as the different steps you take in your day to day job that helps you arrive at your solutions. I prefer to list these activities out in a checklist so when I am working I can keep it next to me and check them off to see how I am working towards the next phase.

Once you get all of your activities written down, I suggest rating each one on a complexity scale. This will help you figure out how much time you will need to allow for you and your team to complete it. Then you can look at your overall timeline, and see how much time you should allow for each phase. Make sure to pad your timing so you don't underestimate and mismanage your stakeholders/client's expectations.

If you are getting stuck, try working backward! This puts you in a different mindset and allows you to think critically about all of the steps you need to take for this specific project.

The format you choose for your plan is totally up to you. Most UX project plans tend to be in a chart/excel sheet, but you can also create it in a calendar, a timeline graphic, on a whiteboard, etc... the options are endless. The most important thing is to make sure your plan is formated neatly and easy to use and read. Don't spend hours designing it, just make it highly functional and accessible for your team.

I hope that this was helpful to you! Let me know what you choose to include in your plan, or if you have any additional tips.

Here are some additional resources for formatting a UX Plan

At the beginning of a new project, identify the level of UX effort needed, and the key deliverables you aim to produce. Identify known and missing knowledge about users and tasks to uncover gaps before they bite you.

Is the Google UX Design Certificate worth it? Or is it a lie? They promise that you will become a UX Designer from scratch, but there are thing they don't say!

I took it, and here's how it went!

mluxacademy.com - In this video, I explain the Agile Scrum Development process (in plain speak) and talk about how UI/UX (Product Design) fits in.

In this video, I'll talk about processes and methods when it comes to product and service delivery. The book I feature is by Jeff Gothelf (the author behind one of the best books for new UX designers - Lean UX) and is called Lean vs Agile vs Design Thinking. It's a super short (just over 40 pages) book that each and every user experience designer, user researcher, developer or product manager should read through. In the video, I'll share my thoughts on each of the different methodologies based on my previous experience as well as give some suggestions on what you should focus most.

As per usual, pick up this book and give the author kudos: amzn.to/2P8765g
