Course details
Moving up from a user research or design role into team leadership and management can feel like a huge change for those of us more used to hands-on work. Instead of working on projects, you need to step back and manage people and workload, define strategy and creative process, and get to grips with explaining UX in terms business leaders are familiar with.
As a new or aspiring UX manager, you need to learn the best way to run your team. In this course, design director Matt Corrall explains how he moved from a hands-on UX role to UX leadership and management. He covers the role and responsibilities, strategy and planning, what a typical week is like, and how to work effectively with both your team and others around you. Matt offers expert advice and examples from his own experiences as a UX manager in both in-house and agency environments.
If you’re in UX and want to lead a team or secure a managerial role, then this course will give you the knowledge you need to make the best start possible.
