The term "User Experience" came from Donald Norman in the mid-90s. But we're not going to talk about that because he didn't intend to describe UX the way it is described today. Instead, we'll have Amanda Sandbeck and Jennifer Seipel join hosts Annie Halbert, Charles Edge, and Max Polski to talk about the emerging UX discipline at Jamf. This includes how User Experience has evolved at Jamf, how Amanda and Jen got into the field (there's a surprise buried in there), and how our UX department is evolving.  We might even tell you how to let us know some of the improvements you might like to see!
