14:25 – 15:45 Workshop How to embed UX and UX research in your (scrum) environment?

Creating support for UX is an ongoing job. But how do you figure out where to start? What are the quick wins vs long term possibilities for your organization?

In 3 steps you will work on your own:
Step 1: Use the UX maturity model
Step 2: Create your current workflow; how does UX work together with others?
Step 3: Draw your ideal UX workflow
The aim of this workshop is to step into the shoes of a UX consultant. The outcome is solid advice for your organization on how to embed UX & UX research, which is aligned with your personal UX goals. By following the steps the participant can apply this framework in future UX projects as a UX consultant.
