Product Development Suffers Without UX
66%
of features fail to deliver value
By focusing on developing instead of customer needs, teams are wasting time and building products that customers don't want.
Alignment Gaps
User research can be spread very thin across a lot of projects with no clear business objectives. Valuable insights are often overlooked and opportunities missed.
Lack of Continuous Learning
more time spent on rework
When teams focus on learning, the effects compound over time create a strong competitive advantage, due to a more detailed understanding of the user.
There's a Better Way of Building Products
Integrating UX into the product delivery process and creating a single product team enables people to work together to understand and solve the customer's problems in a way that meets the business objectives.
