Why do some UX projects thrive while others stumble?
Improving UX with project management starts with valuing the role of project management in UX project success. Project managers possess the power to steer teams towards improved stakeholder collaboration and communication. They can play a significant role in project outcomes. Unfortunately, many organizations fail to recognize their value, leaving UX projects without the crucial strategy project managers can offer.
Stakeholder engagement relies on good project management.
It’s no secret that collaboration is the tipping point of any successful project. When it comes to UX projects, the need for effective collaboration becomes even more crucial. This is where project managers come into play. They possess the unique ability to keep teams on track, ensuring that everyone is aligned and working towards a common goal. By facilitating healthy interactions between stakeholders and UX teams, project managers can foster more seamless collaboration.
Imagine a stakeholder with specific needs or concerns but lacking a designated point person to communicate them to the UX team. On the other hand, UX designers or leads may find themselves caught up in the nitty-gritty details of the project, leaving little time for effective stakeholder management. Herein lies the significance of project managers who are well-versed in the dynamics of UX projects. They bridge the gaps, providing the necessary support and facilitating beneficial interactions between the UX team and stakeholder teams. The presence of a skilled project manager is indispensable for the success of any product or service delivery.
