I have a feeling you over analyzed what I wrote. I wasn't saying UX isn't important - my job title is literally a UX engineer. The company I work with prides itself on the user experience coming first. So while it may be something I defend first, its something on everyone's mind - and when it isn't it can become a problem.
Steve Jobs for example cared about every little detail that impacted the user experience. He also wanted everyone in his company to care in the same way.
My point is just that while UX designers may be leading the charge, they largely need to get off any "high horse" they're on, and understand an entire team is responsible for a good experience, even if they are the driving force.
- mrxd 13y agoGetting whole teams involved in the process has been standard practice for UX designers for over a decade. For the most part, the problem has been getting non-UX folks to care at all. What you describe sounds like a scenario where everyone wants to participate, but for some reason the UX designer refuses to collaborate? I've never heard of that happening, and it runs counter to my personal experience and pretty much every UX designer I've ever talked to, so my gut feeling is that you're reacting to a unique situation.
