Product for Product Management

Discovering and building products is a complex undertaking, which includes reducing the risk of usability. The Product Manager partner in this is the UX team, which many times includes a UX Researcher. But every Product Manager has the privilege to work with one, and it is very helpful to know how to conduct such research. In this episode, Matt and Moshe meet with Troy Winfrey, a UX Strategist and Researcher, to discuss what a UX Researcher does, and which tools are available to achieve it. There are many tools mentioned in the episode.
