Summary

Curated from community-contributions, these brief video clips feature winning submissions from industry pros sharing their most important lessons on navigating the intersection of UX/Product.

Key Insights

  • User experience and product management naturally maintain a healthy tension balancing ideal UX and business priorities.

  • Mistakes in early product roles can serve as valuable lessons on prioritization and feasibility.

  • Weekly Wednesday watch parties create ongoing live user research that increases team empathy and cross-disciplinary conversations.

  • Having client sessions easily accessible near engineering and product spaces boosts attendance and collaboration.

  • Offering incentives like candy stickers and virtual options helps increase participation in research sessions.

  • Making research live and visible reduces recruiter workload and increases product team exposure to users.

  • Designers transitioning from agencies to product roles often feel under-equipped but already have key skills and mindsets.

  • Articulating design value through connecting user outcomes to business outcomes shifts UX from craft to measurable impact.

  • Framing design hypotheses and focusing on metrics aligned with user outcomes reduces fear of data measurement in UX.

  • Embracing data enables UX professionals to speak the language of business stakeholders, gaining influence over product strategy.

Notable Quotes

"UX practitioners already have the mindset and toolkit needed to drive a product discussion forward."

"It comes down to confidence and comfort in articulating why something has value and being comfortable with scrutiny."
