UI/UX designers and developers need to work collaboratively on projects, but they often have friction and even outright conflict that can have a negative impact on project outcomes. Although both groups are invested in project success, designers and developers have fundamentally different priorities. Designers advocate for user needs – easy to understand, frictionless user experiences - while developers advocate for the technology - robust, updateable, maintainable code. Commonsense strategies for working together can make a world of difference, but it’s complicated.

Working with users when doing usability testing or other user research involves some real skill. Experienced facilitators will tell you, though, that users are nothing compared to the people behind the glass or on the phone – your observers.
This presentation looks at tips and tricks you can use to make your relationship with your observers as productive, efficient, and positive as possible. These apply whether your observers are in the room with you, in an observation room next door, or on the phone.
