Meet Up: UX Teams and how they work

Monday, July 27, 2020 8:00–9:30 PM Eastern Time

Where does UX sit and what does it “look like” within an organization? In this session, our panelists, many of whom work with teams distributed around the planet, will share how their teams are structured and how UX works with other team members. They’ll touch upon the methods that they use, and how the team set up reflects that.

  • Mary Lee, UX Manager, NetApp (Hardware company: where the UX team is distributed)
