Session: Stakeholders: The Third Wheel of UX Design
In my presentation, I will discuss who are stakeholders and what are their goals in the project lifecycle. I will also address common issues that often put them at odds with users such a deliverables and misleading metrics. Additionally, common problems the team faces when a good-intentioned stakeholder interferes with the design & development process. Finally, I will discuss strategies to help with these issues while maintaining good relationships with the people who have maximum influence over our project.Key Takeaways
- Who are Stakeholders and what are their goals
- Why are Stakeholders at odds with users sometimes
- Common issues with stakeholders and how to mediate them (solutioning for you, not trusting input, over-anticipating issues, deprioritizing UX)
- Strategies for getting Stakeholder buy-in
- What not to do with Stakeholders
