Christian Crumlish - UX, Product Management and Dangerous Dogma

Christian Crumlish blows up some myths that product and UX people believe about each other and shares his insight into how designers can find themselves ‘at the table’ more often. 

Highlights include:

⭐ Do you consider yourself to be UX person or a product person?
⭐ Are UXers simply clueless when it comes to product management?
⭐ Are product managers just beancounters in disguise? 
⭐ Where does the tension between product management and UX come from?
⭐ How can UXers be responsible for ethics if they’re not responsible for strategy?
