Meet-Up Details

Creating an environment where UX can thrive

with Jackie Mellor Brownlee

The world of UX has changed a lot in the last 20 years. It isn’t such a hard sell as it used to be. That’s partly because most product teams have been exposed to UX practitioners in one form or another by now, but mostly because we – as users – have been exposed to some really great products. It’s much more obvious that the really successful products have had more time spent on understanding how we use them, making them easier to use, simpler, more delightful.

The industry’s appetite for UX has never been bigger, and as practitioners, we’ve never been more in demand. But when we get onto that project, join the team or organisation, are we always entering an environment that is ready for us?

I’ll be looking at some of the recurring readiness issues I’ve seen over a couple of decades of UX contracting, and sharing some of the tricks I’ve developed to communicate my needs, embed UX into the software delivery process, and to create an environment where UX can thrive.

Meet-up attendees

Members can show their interest to attend a meet-up by clicking “Attend this meet-up” button. In addition, since Local Groups events are open to all, non-members can also attend these meet-ups.

Members might be bringing their non-member friends to a Local Group meet-up (and you’re welcome to do the same), but their non-member friends will not be shown as “attending” because this feature is only available to members.

P.S.: Note that the number of attendees is not an indication of its value! Small meet-ups work perfectly, and can facilitate deeper, more fruitful conversations.
