8 section three ux roles & skills UX Roles User experience researchers focus on information gathering prior to design, including developing surveys and conducting stakeholder and user interviews to understand business goals and users needs. They also conduct usability testing with prototype designs. User experience strategists tackle complex problems with a big picture understanding of a product s context in the broader marketplace. They work with researchers to synthesize research findings to unlock insights that drive design innovations and deliver products that people enjoy using. Visual designers develop the look and feel to make the product or site visually pleasing with color, images, branding, typefaces and more. UI/front-end developers use the interactive wireframes and visual design to code the product or site using development languages such as HTML/CSS and Javascript. Content strategists and writers determine and write the content for the website or product to meet the needs of the business and the end user. Interaction designers are skilled at designing interactive products with wireframes and prototypes. By distilling workflows and analyzing user tasks, they define navigation, controls, workflow, features and functionality to develop information architectures and wireframes for paper and digital prototypes. 07

10 section three ux roles & skills Interaction design Interaction design and UX strategy are the top activities UX practitioners currently perform in respondent organizations, followed closely by visual design and user research. Skills most in demand for the future are interaction design and strategy, followed by user research and visual design, as indicated by respondents selecting great need. Notably, the skill in greatest future demand interaction design is also the most common activity current UXers perform, indicating a significant opportunity for interaction designers. 09

11 section three ux roles & skills UX Strategy Product managers and executive leadership alike are seeking candidates with UX strategy experience. This need for critical thinking and business-minded design thinking aligns with the work on curriculum design by Jo Elliott (Elliott, 2017). Technology and UX design leaders expressed these themes regarding the specific skillsets and behaviors they desire: Ability to deconstruct a project or issue into essential parts, identifying problems and developing solutions based on data collected Positive approach to understanding and dealing with constraints or dependencies Client- and business-oriented mindset Critical thinking to understand the underlying meaning of the results of user testing as they relate to business objectives and project-specific goals Ability to tailor designs to the requirements of different types of users Leadership skills to effectively navigate and address organizational pushback 10

12 section three ux roles & skills Communication skills Communications skills are critical to the success of UX practitioners, particularly in articulating the value of user-centered design internally and when working with clients. Key skills include: Empathy toward stakeholders, users and developers Flexibility to adjust messages for different audiences Congeniality and the ability to develop rapport and collaborate with users and colleagues Savviness to sell the UX process and findings within an organization Emotional intelligence to read situations during user interviews and keep them on track Elliott, L. J. (2017). Keeping the HF/UX curriculum current with the critical decision method. In J. I. Kantola, T. Barath, S. Nazir, & T. Andre (Eds.), Advances in Human Factors, Business Management, Training and Education. (pp ). Springer International Publishing. doi: ISBN

13 section three ux roles & skills Software Expertise There are a multitude of tools available to help UX practitioners with their work. While successful UX practitioners have experience with a variety of tools, employers generally say that experience with at least one tool within a category sketching, wireframing, prototyping or development is more important than the specific software. What tools are used to create ux deliverables in your company Adobe Creative Suite Axure HTML/CSS InVision Sketch Balsamiq Other UX Pin 0.0% 10.0% 20.0% 30.0% 40.0% 50.0% 60.0% 70.0% 80.0% Other tools mentioned include Angular, CodePen, Confluence, Flinto, git, Jira, LucidChart, Mural, Omnigraffle, Optimal Workshop, Trello and Visual Studio. 12

14 section four organizational challenges and opportunities Respondents were asked what needs and opportunities they saw within their organizations, particularly with regard to product design and UX and technology innovation, as well as what else they are interested in knowing about the state of UX in Kansas City. We noted several themes in these responses: Greater Understanding and Buy-in of ux Additional Expertise Increased Collaboration and Leadership Service Design as a Growth Area 13

15 section four organizational challenges and opportunities Greater Understanding and Buy-In of ux Several respondents expressed a need for a better understanding of UX and UX resources within organizations, along with getting buy-in for and proving the value of UX processes. Being able to measure the qualitative/ quantitative benefits to getting UX engaged sooner in the project development process or, frankly, getting them engaged at all. Get more buy-in that UX research is critical we can sit in a room to discuss and guess what is the right decision for clients or we can let them tell us. More enterprise education and buy-in on iterative design, minimum viable product and the value of UX. 14

16 section four organizational challenges and opportunities Increased Collaboration and Leadership UX practitioners believe that a user-centered approach is in the best interest of the company s bottom line and see user-centered design as an opportunity to improve products, increase revenue and efficiency and reduce costs. Increased collaboration between UX and other departments, specifically integration between UX and product development and representation at the leadership level, will allow companies to capitalize on this opportunity. Persuade product owners and executives to let go of design decisions and give user-centered design a seat at the table. Design thinking informed by solid user research is needed at the top executive and VP levels to set a better company-wide vision. Our biggest opportunity lies in more up-front planning and visioning as it relates to the user experience and long-term product design. Injecting user-centered thinking at the overall product strategy level. 15

17 section four organizational challenges and opportunities Additional Expertise Many UX practitioners expressed the need for additional expertise in their companies, ranging from research and testing to communicating with clients and integrating UX into Agile development. We need more research and testing. Possibly a dedicated role in our team. We need project managers who know how to place UX into Agile development, and developers who know the difference between wireframes and final graphics. Expertise in client communications/justifications. Prototyping skills. Knowing how to take a project from concept to execution and having the tools to make that happen. 16

18 section four organizational challenges and opportunities Service Design as a Growth Area Service design appears to be emerging as an opportunity within several companies. Mobile app and in-store customer-facing tech is an opportunity for us. While we are constantly looking for ways to innovate with technology, we have aspirations to apply UX in areas others than software, including services and office space. I believe we can add a lot more value by doing true service design and experience design. This includes customer experiences, client experiences, employee experiences, etc. 17
