Tomorrow, join Jared Spool live to talk about Navigating Politics: Prioritizing UX Above Product Delivery July 8 at 2pm ET (18.00 GMT) Break the tension between Product and UX. In many organizations, there’s a tension between delivering a product quickly and ensuring that the product has an excellent (or even good) user experience. UX leaders in those organizations hear, “We think UX is important, but we just don’t have time right now.” UX leaders find it challenging to navigate the politics behind why product delivery gets top priority. They need a multi-pronged approach that shows stakeholders why UX is important while ensuring their work doesn’t obstruct critical delivery deadlines. In this perspective-changing discussion, Jared Spool will explore how influential UX leaders have successfully made UX a priority in their organizations. You’ll discover new approaches to overcoming political obstacles when you win over your most challenging stakeholders. Uncover how you’ll… 👉 Position UX efforts as a product delivery accelerator by prioritizing and reducing non-necessary work through research findings. 👉 Introduce metrics that are tied directly to UX outcomes to measure how each product team drives improvements in customers’ and users’ lives. 👉 Establish a UX-quality baseline that aligns your product and development peers on what “done” means for each upcoming release.

Data is the lifeblood of good product decision-making — Goodhart’s Law aside, of course. Yet, many product teams find themselves in situations where they simply don’t have the data they wished they had, to feed the decisions they want to make, to drive towards the success they want to achieve. Let’s be real for a second. How many of you are sitting there, staring at your feature specs, with that sad little “success metrics” section gathering digital dust because you can’t actually measure any of it? Don’t worry, I see you nodding. I’ve been there too, my friend. If you’re one of my fellow metric-lackers-in-arms, with the noblest of goals, desperately trying to make decisions based on something more substantial than your CEO’s latest epiphany, then this one’s for you.
