    RACI, you're the worst!

    In this episode, we explore the RACI matrix for project management and why we think it’s the worst. Learn about RACI, how it falls short, and what might work better for UXers and product teams. What’s your take? We’d love to know if you aren’t a fan of RACI either and if you’ve tried other alternatives. Feel free to reach out to us on LinkedIn.

Best UX Podcast that sounds like grabbing coffe with your co-workers

Listening in feels like grabbing a coffee with your UX (or even product) co-workers and chatting about the day-to-day aspects of “doing UX work”.

I began listening as a solo web designer wanting to break into a more traditional UX role. These podcasts gave me an insight into the daily life of someone practicing UX. Keep your pencil ready to jot down great references and other tidbits you’ll want to explore.
