Training UX in a Product Team – Collaboration, Processes, and Impact

This training focuses on the practical, operational role of UX in real-world IT product teams. During the training, participants learn how designers can work effectively in an environment of day-to-day collaboration with Product Managers, developers, and business stakeholders — including situations where processes are incomplete (or do not exist at all), roles are unclear, and decisions are made under time pressure. Participants learn how to build real UX influence on product development, strengthen their role within the organization, and improve collaboration within the product team. The training focuses on the practical, operational role of UX in real IT product teams. During the training, we show how designers can effectively operate in an environment of day-to-day collaboration with Product Managers, developers, and business stakeholders, including situations where processes are incomplete (or do not exist at all), roles are not clearly defined, and decisions are made under time pressure. Participants learn how to build real UX influence on the shape of the product, strengthen their role within the organization, and improve collaboration within the product team. The training is based on real project situations, case studies, and a workshop-based approach. The training also addresses contemporary challenges in UX work: the use of AI in the design process, accessible design, working with metrics, experiments, data, and the impact of UX on product and business decisions.

Training Program

Module 1. UX as a Strategic Role in a Product Team

The role of UX goes beyond interface design and preparing mockups. We will discuss how UX can support product decisions at different stages of product development, from discovery, through delivery, to long-term development. The UX / PM / developer collaboration model will also be discussed.

Module 2. Real Case Studies from Product Teams

The module is based on real situations from working on digital products. Participants will analyze both an example of successfully building UX influence within an organization and a case in which UX was marginalized or omitted. The goal is to draw practical conclusions that can be applied to participants’ own work.

Module 3. Workshop Based on Participants’ Real Challenges

An interactive workshop block based on problems reported by the training participants. In a facilitated discussion format, the group jointly analyzes situations related to communication, processes, UX influence, or everyday collaboration within the organization. Participants receive / jointly develop specific action ideas that can be implemented after the training.

Module 4. UX Under Pressure – Well-being, Overload, and Long-Term Effectiveness

A module dedicated to UX work in a demanding product environment, where time pressure, excessive workloads, and distributed responsibility often occur. Participants learn ways to manage energy, communication, boundaries, and mental workload. The goal is to maintain professional effectiveness without heading toward burnout.

Module 5. AI and Digital Accessibility in UX Work

The module shows how to responsibly use AI in UX work and how to incorporate digital accessibility into the everyday design process. Participants learn about the applications of AI in research, analysis, insight synthesis, prototyping, working with content, and communication with stakeholders, as well as its limitations, such as hallucinations, bias, superficial conclusions, and risks related to data. Accessible digital product design will also be discussed as an element of quality, team responsibility, and reducing product risk.
