As we all know, UX Designers often work with PM and Engineering teams that outnumber them, sometimes at the expense of high-quality designs and proper fit-and-finish. The agile nature of our roles keeps us focused on designing the next big feature, making it challenging to prioritize end-to-end quality over quantity, especially in corporations with large portfolios and siloed products.
Enter UX Office Hours (OH) — a structured yet informal weekly meeting where designers can extend their influence beyond their immediate product teams, fostering cohesion and consistency.
We first started Office Hours out of necessity
Our design team inherited a portfolio of over 20 developer tools, with just five UX designers of varying seniority. Scaling was a challenge, and our product partners had little to no exposure to Design, as the tools had been developed by necessity by developers.
