Some have none at all. In such an environment, if you are the key person or team driving for a more user-centered way of working, you are a user experience team of one. (That’s true whether it’s your official job or not.) </div> <div> This workshop is a hands on crash course in the skills, methods, and clever hacks that successful UX teams of one use to work inclusively, efficiently, and effectively. It is also a frank and candid guide to the challenges and opportunities that you might encounter if you're a </div> <div> UX team of one. </div> <div> In this workshop, you'll learn: </div> <div> •&nbsp;&nbsp; Quick and effective methods for every point in the UX process, from planning a project to collaborative lo-fi design and rapid prototyping </div> <div> •&nbsp;&nbsp; Language and tools for "selling" UX and building support </div> <div> •&nbsp;&nbsp; Soft skills for gaining buy-in, conquering conflict, and communicating your work </div> <div> Like any good bootcamp, this workshop will get you working, sweating, and challenging your own assumptions about what you're capable of. </div> <div> <b>Bio&nbsp;</b> </div> <div> <img title="Leah Buley" border="0" alt="Leah Buley" align="left" src="http://pssigchi.org/Resources/Pictures/Leah%20Headshot.jpg" width="100" height="100" x="0" y="423" float="right">Leah Buley is a design strategist at Intuit and the author of the forthcoming book <em>The User Experience Team of One</em>.
