Why is UX Management important?

The incorporation of user experience into professional processes has long since left its infancy behind. An increasing number of employees fill UX positions in their companies, more and more businesses bring dedicated UX teams into being and UX itself is becoming an established discipline across the globe.

Don’t leave user experience up to chance – its possibilities have become too numerous and complex. Instead, a body that enables, drives, controls, and measures user experience is needed: user experience management.

All UX management activities help moving a business or organization from the status quo towards a collaboratively defined UX vision.

  • What is the added value of UX management?
  • What are the underlying conditions necessary in your business in order to develop products and services with a good experience?
  • Which roles, skills and teams do you need?
  • Which conflicts can arise from unmanaged UX and how can you avoid them?
  • How can UX management help connect teams and break down silos?
We help you with finding answers to these and many other questions and boost UX management in your business.

The UX maturity model by usability.de

The concept of UX maturity helps our clients to understand that UX management requirements vary. For example, to what extend is user experience supported and pushed by management?

There are different dimensions to your UX maturity level, which is why figuring out your UX status quo is the first step.

So don’t plan your UX management activities just yet: Let’s first find out where you stand and which potentials are yet to be tapped.

  1. Institutionalized UX
    UX is part of your business strategy
  2. Integrated UX
    Development starts with the user
  3. Managed UX
    UX management works beyond project and department lines
  4. Project-based UX
    There are resources for UX tests in some projects
  5. Ad-hoc UX
    Some colleagues try out UX
  6. No UX awareness
    Usability and UX are not on the agenda

How can we help you?

We provide counsel and conduct UX measures to smooth the way to a higher UX maturity and better UX management in your business. We will collaborate in workshops: In the beginning we will look at your UX status quo and determine which steps to take next. During the initial analysis we will take a closer look at the following questions:

  • How is user research conducted in your business?

    Do you rely on assumptions or do you talk to your users? Are the people you talk to your real users or are they middlemen who are convinced they know your users well enough? Are tests conducted iteratively? How do you combine qualitative and quantitative measures?

  • Do you use user-centered design methods in your product development process?

    Do you incorporate user-centered measures into the whole process, from gathering requirements to ideation to implementation? Or are there stages in the process where you don’t collect user feedback at all, simply because it is too late for feedback and the product can no longer be revised?

  • How many project teams conduct UX measures?

    Are user-centered measures only applied to single, prioritized projects or are all of your projects developed by using user-centered methods?

  • How many employees are trained UX professionals?

    How many UX experts are employed in your business and where did they obtain their competence? Are they self-taught or did they complete a degree in UX? How is UX expertise spread across your business?

  • How do you measure the success of UX measures?

    If you are already conducting UX measures, are they formalized? Are they based on subjective impressions or do you collect UX metrics systematically? Are results kept within project borders or communicated to other teams? Is your management interested in ROI examinations?

  • How standardized are your UX measures?

    If you conduct measures to understand, explore, create and test: do you select them at random or do you have clear guidelines? For example, how is a test conducted and how are contextual inquiries prepared?

  • How firmly is UX established into your business culture?

    Is the user-centered approach rejected or appreciated? Does your business merely pay lip service to UX or are you prepared to invest resources into measures like user tests and interviews? Is the user-centered approach taken for granted?

  • How satisfied are your users with your product’s UX?

    From complete discontentment to absolute enthusiasm: how do your users rate the quality of your products and services?
