ABOUT THE BOOK

The User Experience Team of One - A Research and Design Survival Guide
By Leah Buley
http://rosenfeldmedia.com/books/the-user-experience-team-of-one/

While many people are attracted to the field of user experience because they want to be champions for users, simply loving users doesn’t guarantee that you’ll be a successful user experience team of one. UX teams of one are people who love users and also make sure that designs get tested, business people’s questions are answered, design problems receive an appropriate amount of creative exploration, UX specifications are implemented according to plan, the product is continually monitored and improved upon, and support for UX is ever growing. And they do it all
without a roadmap or a blueprint, with the help of people who may or may not be active supporters of UX themselves.

This book is for anyone who is interested in taking on the challenging and rewarding work of spreading a user-centered mindset to new places where it’s never been before. While this book is intended to be approachable for anyone who picks it up, it was written with two particular
audiences in mind.

1. One core audience for this book is people who are already working on product teams in another role but are interested in transitioning into the field of UX. If that sounds like you, that may mean that you’ve never thought of yourself as a UX professional before, and you’re interested in crossing over into the field, either as a main role or part of an adjacent role. For this type of reader, Chapters 1 and 2 are a must.

2. Another core audience for this book is more experienced practitioners who are seeking ways to work more effectively within a cross-functional team.
