Product Managers + UX teams: working better together Masterclass

Product management groups often manage, lead, or heavily influence UX teams. Product management (‘Product’) plays this role due to its close proximity to Engineering and ‘the Business’. However, many product managers struggle to “play well” (get the most out of interactions) with UX process and team inputs and outputs. In Product’s defense, this line of business inherited UX in many ways to save it from being incorporated as a sub-function of Engineering. However, product managers must understand specifically what value UX brings and how to work with UX teams better.

Many Product teams appreciate and thrive on UX input. As a result, the product managers that ‘process share’ with UX teams, can get more business value from UX. Therefore, UX teams play a strategic role in Product organizations that want to realize the ROI from UX. In this Masterclass, Frank Spillers shares tested methods for improving relationships and interactions between UX and Product.

Topics we will cover:

  • Defining roles: What UX teams do; what Product managers need; where the roles overlap
  • How to understand and influence a Product Manager and a UX team
  • Product management vs UX management
  • How successful products are managed for better UX
  • Product roadmaps vs UX roadmaps
  • Mapping of types of Product Managers (from worst to best) to collab, the archetypes & how to Manage the managers
  • Negotiating the MVP’s, Backlogs and Agile UX
  • Key UX/Product collaborations- tools and templates
  • Resolving conflicting agendas and avoiding collaboration traps
  • Managing UX teams for better product outcome
