User Experience Management

User Experience Management: Essential Skills for Leading Effective UX Teams deals with specific issues associated with managing diverse user experience (UX) skills, often in corporations with a largely engineering culture.

Part memoir and part handbook, it explains what it means to lead a UX team and examines the management issues of hiring, inheriting, terminating, layoffs, interviewing and candidacy, and downsizing.

The book offers guidance on building and creating a UX team, as well as equipping and focusing the team.

It also considers ways of nurturing the team, from coaching and performance reviews to conflict management and creating work-life balance.

Furthermore, it discusses the essential skills needed in leading an effective team and developing a communication plan.

This book will be valuable to new managers and leaders, more experienced managers, and anyone who is leading or managing UX groups or who is interested in assuming a leadership role in the future.
