Build the right things for the right people
Designing and developing a website or application has never been easier. But making sure you build the right thing for the right people is still a daunting task.
To succeed you need to implement a UX-led technical development process. So, you can learn what works best for your target audience, prior to launch.

What is UX-led program management?
On a UX-led technical development project, rather than focusing on what you need to build, we focus on the people you’re building for. We don’t wait till launch to see what key stakeholders think. Audience feedback is captured throughout the design and development processes. The result? Assumptions are validated and issues are resolved prior to launching your new product or service.
When we’re the project lead or program manager, we base our measurements of success on long-term outcomes. Not just the delivery of outputs. This approach ensures:
- Requirements are defined and prioritised efficiently
- Target audience segments are identified and analysed effectively
- End-user feedback is responded to throughout the process
- Costly mistakes are avoided.
