The document summarizes Mariana Morris's presentation at Agile Prague 2016 on the importance of teamwork in UX design. Some key points discussed include:
- UX design requires collaboration between designers, developers, and other roles to understand user needs. Isolating roles is not an option.
- Techniques were presented for getting the whole team involved in user research through activities like ethnographic research, user interviews, and usability testing.
- An effective process involves sharing work early, using tools like user flows and product canvases, and conducting stakeholder workshops and retrospectives to improve.
- Providing and receiving feedback requires clear communication and focusing on research and goals rather than personal preferences.
