All language subtitles for 11 - Work in a cross-functional team.en

So far you've learned about common
responsibilities of UX designers and

the types of roles that
UX designers might have.

But like many people,
UX designers don't work alone;

they work on cross-functional teams
that might include other designers,

engineers, researchers,
product leads, or program managers.

In this video we'll discuss how
these cross-functional teams

work together to build a product.

Imagine you're working on
an app for ordering food.

You and your team want to build a new
feature that shows users restaurants

that offer allergen-free meals.

The product lead decides
the scope of the project,

the UX researcher tries to understand
user trust, like whether users will

trust the information about allergens or
trust the app itself.

The interaction designer
figures out the flow for

ordering, like how to include
allergen-free foods in the search filter.

The visual designer thinks
about how to make it easy for

users to find allergen-free
foods in the product.

These UX designers create
wireframes and prototypes

to show the experience that
users will have in the app.

The engineers bring these wireframes and
prototypes to life and create ways for

restaurants to each add information
about their allergen-free options.

As you might have noticed,
it's important for

UX designers to collaborate with engineers,
because engineers build the final product.

This collaboration happens
throughout the entire process.

There are multiple opportunities
for UX designers and engineers

to provide feedback to each other
to make their changes together.

There are a lot of moving parts here.

This is where the program manager
comes in to ensure clear and

timely communication across the team,

so the process of building useful apps
moves smoothly from start to finish.

Every team and team member has
a different task to complete, but

ultimately they all have the same goal:

To build a product that's usable,
useful, equitable, and

enjoyable for users and businesses.

Coming up, we'll discuss the types
of companies UX designers work at.

I think you'll be pleasantly surprised
by how many options you have.
