> Some of you may know that during the past 16 years, we’ve been researching what makes the ideal UX team. One of our early results is that roles don’t matter, skills do. It doesn’t matter if a team has an interaction designer or information architect. It does matter that interaction design and information architecture skills are present amongst the team. > Our research showed there are core skills: interaction design, information architecture, user research, visual design, information design, fast iteration management, copywriting, and editing. There are also what we call enterprise skills, some of which are: analytics, development methods, design-to-development documentation, ethnography, social networks, marketing, technology, business knowledge, and domain knowledge.
