Summary
Whether you are part of a start-up and therefore just starting in on UX in the organization, part of an established UX team, or anywhere in between, it can be useful to step back now and then and ask questions such as: How mature is our UX practice? Where are we “at” in the maturity process? How would being more mature help us? What is the next step for us? How can we best, but also realistically, move forward? In this session we discuss these questions, share how to evaluate the maturity of UX in your organization, and how to move maturity forward.
